Oh I want to just sleep. Today I could sleep in, yesterday on my day off I couldn’t – bloody typical. Lay in until 7:30 then decide that really need to get up and get ready for work. Still day 4 after Chemo and still rocking on well, with very little issues compared to just before Chemo. Body pain, head pain are there, but at a low level so as to not cause to much grief. Still head down and take my morning cocktail, then get ready for the day. Call Dad to come and take Jacob to school, as he has slept in to, in fact we all have – doh!
Jacob off, we head off, via Lachies school, then drop me at Latimer Square. Walk up to work, cursing the wankers in cars doing every speed except 30KM per hour, then doing their dickhead best to ignore signs saying road closed and just randomly driving through intersections with the presumption that they are clear and no regard for other road users. This is the Christchurch roads through the CBD – the sections maybe clear but there are pockets of life, so instead of demonstrating your abilities to be a complete gimp slow down, if yuo want to sight see – stop! For goodness sake pull over where safe and stop. The middle of the road is not a parking area either. And neither is the pedestrian safety barriers. There my rant out – I do feel better for it now. Someone will be injured or killed soon by these drivers.
Nice to be back at the office, with the colleagues. Have a quiet steady day. Noticing that some days it is harder to remember things than others, which gets frustrating. Also the nausea is not brilliant today either. I eat a savoury muffin, and feel yuck for doing so. Still food so it counts. I have some of my extra special anti-nausea drugs (yes more drugs I hear you say). They seem to work better than just the other ones I am on. Sue collects me about 1:15 and we head off via Westfield Riccarton quickly. I give in to my want for KFC Hot and Spicey chicken, and induldge in some. It has been months since I have had KFC. While I sort of enjoy it – the taste is very odd indeed – I pay for it by spending the rest of the arvo feeling yucky.
Get home and login to work for a bit. Feeling fatigued though, so have a lay down. The boys arrived home. I don’t sleep but just rest. Sue heads off for a hair cut and I get dinner ready. Make an awesome Thai Green curry chicken. I manage to eat soem more, so all in all it is a really good eating day. Even with the nausea. It seems that these new pills are working ok. Sit down to do the blog and just relax. The body pains are coming back and increasing too. Pain killer time, I think, and maybe a soak in a hot bath. Then watch tv, readbook and sleep.
Trust all have had a great day and everything is going swimmingly for you. W&D time here about 10 tonight. I can’t drink hot drinks anymore as they taste fowl. Have a grand evening/arvo/day all. Sorry, short and sweet today again – not feeling overly impsired much at the moment and concentrating on my health more, which is what I need to do. Helps to understand how I’m trackingreally. Sayuing that I now have stabbing pains in my right side and tingling in Wilson – so signing off.
Kia Kaha.
