Friday 28 September Ramble
September 28, 2012 — Headless“Discipline is just choosing between what you want now and what you want most.” – Unknown
6am start today as heading down to gym. bloody sore and tired though with my head thumping badly. Slow getting out of bed and moving. Head for my meds and wait about 20mins for them to kick in. This is the price I end up paying for the amount of exercise from yesterday. It doesn’t really seem fair to me – bloody cancer!!! Eventually numb up enough that I can do some form of workout. Have a good 20mins with the weights. May as well make the hurt all over. Have a small brekkie and then get ready for work.
Starting to do a little more thinking about things and how I have to start re-prioritising what is really important in life. I need to focus on how I can give the most to whats left of life especially physically as I am starting to have constant pain and are fully aware that this is only going to get worse. But stubborn me will not give in to the pain easily. Just I know my stubborness is going to hurt me. I still have a huge amount of fight left in me yet – the battle is far from lost!
Head to the Office. Head is still hurting lots so take some more other pain killers. Get a coffee then get on with the day. Head is still hurting in waves, so need to take some more pain killers – will beat this pain. Finaly I go numb all over. Not a single ache or pain. This is good but I have a real fog come over me – maybe not so good really. It definitely slows down productivity. Work until about 2 then head off home.
Get home and do a wee bit more work until the boys get home. Load the car up then with the bags, etc. Then hit the road for Renwick. We are heading there for the first time since April. Going to be interesting to see how I go sitting for 4 hours. Make sure I have access to all my meds in case I need them. The head is still hurting and trying to get to a good pain level going again. Decide to utilise the time in the car by doing the blog. Trip goes well with the boys not arguing to much really, and been threatened with been left on the side of the road.
Make it there without a stop apart from tea in Blenheim – Maccas so drive thru. Very sore still bugger it. Unload the car and get settled. Finish off the blog. Then M&D time and head to bed to try to sleep off the head pain. The body is not to bad now thankfully. Trust all have had an enjoyable Friday and have a good weekend planned. Take care and stay safe.

Hope Blenheim was just as gorgeous as it was here today, looks as if we may be in for a few days sunshine instead of the crap we’ve had of late. :o) xo

Didn’t know you were all going to Blenheim – great. That’s your first movement out since Daisy’s passing? Time flies so fast. Give my love to the rellies and have a great weekend – you all need the break. I have been springcleaning like mad – didn’t help when the high laundry cupboard shelf collapsed and showered broken glass, tins etc on me – now I know what an earthquake would have been like! very surreal to put it mildly and a bruised finger. Oh well.
