3 Too Many

“If you don’t think every day is a good day, just try missing one.” – Cavett Robert

Well the Chemo kicked in early.  By 12am I was reaching and struggling to get to sleep.  By 2:20am I manage to dose off.  At 2:45am Lachlan woke with a nightmare, so awake again.  Managed to get back to sleep again about 3am.  Awake again at 5:45.  Head thumping.  If I didn’t know better I swear that the Chemo was hitting right on the mark in dealing to these mofo’s, as where the pain in my head was/is, is right where the tumors are.  But bloody hell they hurt.  Head downstairs to get pain killers on board quickly, before it gets away on me altogether.  Body pain isn’t to bad today, so pleased about that.  Make a cup of coffee as Tea is out now due to the terrible taste that’s already back in my mouth.  Get ready for the day and try to stay in a positive frame of mind, as I keep feeling angry, sad, happy, and just down right weird!  Bloody drugs messing with my mind, and I’m not even 9 hours into 5 days of it.

Head off to work and have a very quiet day as I’m trying to stop my head hurting, and also I feel that sick it is terrible.  The nausea is coming and going in waves quicker than a turning tide.  I hate it!  Feel good enough to have a bite to eat and a coffee then next thing trying desperately to hold on to the contents of my stomach.  Manage to last through until Sue collects me about 1:15.  Head straight for home as not in a good way at all.  In fact the Chemo is now kicking in heavily after just 14 hours.  Bloody hell, it is going to be a long tough week or hopefully I’ll do a bounce back tomorrow and it’ll be fine again.  I am also that tired that I’m struggling to say awake.  I manage too though.  Nat and the boys come over to visit and have a coffee.   Then I start on the blog, as I want it done early today as I doubt I would be able to function properly to put anything logical to read.  Watch the Melbourne Cup – Cath backed the winner – well done!

No dinner as nausea is back again so just sip away on a liquid meal, so a dinner of sorts.  Then into my routine for the night.  Hoping that I don’t crash down any further with this round.  Trust all have had a great day – esp. Cath nice win on the cup.  Take care and be bad – really, really bad cause its fun sometimes   Short and sweet tonight as I’m not in a good way – sorry.

Kia Kaha.
