Short and sweet today as in hospital tonight and they’re coming to take me away soon. To a CT scan that is! Had a terrible time last night with tremors and the likes so got bugger all sleep anyway and the pain was horrible too. Want going to head into work today as felt so lousy, but decided it was safer to be around others than home alone. So get myself ready and head off to the office. Still getting random jolts and tremors.
Quiet morning really.spent a good amount of time trying to restrain the random tremors and jolts. Head and body aching quite a bit too. Head off home about 1:15 just as it is heading up. Heat to 29 degrees -bloody baking! Very restless and sore and still fighting the tremors so decided to call the Oncologist doctor and they recommend that I come into hospital.
Get checked in through A&E – use the green card to get express entry. Have numerous people question and prod me.one of the Chemo docs then comes up with the idea that I may be having a reaction to one of the anti nausea pills I’m on. Bloody he’ll. Just shows you’ve got to check out everything that they give you. Well this is what they believe it is. I was worried it was tumor related. Still they are doing a CT scan as a precaution. Fingers and toes crossed folks that it comes back clean.
They’ve also given me another new drug to try to counter the body pains, and it is meant to put you to sleep. Guess what, has worked on me – yet! Having a great laugh with the nurses about not being normal if it’s odd or different then I’ll have it or do it! Scan done-they’re is still a brain, thank goodness.won’t know more until the morning.
So that’s it so far folks. In hospital and having a different M&D time tonight. Take care and hope you have a brilliant weekend all.
