3 Too Many

T Day = 31 (Adjuvant chemoradiation) – 8 Radiation & 12 Chemo to go this round.

Good sleep – probably because I was so damn shattered last night – I had no choice!  Woke at  4:30 in pain but managed to go to sleep again.  Then woken by the alarm at 5:45 – downstairs get into the drugs for the day.  Need to be on time with them today as have a 9am zapping and the weather is meant to pack in so there will be lots more traffic on the road.

Starts to snow about 7am and looks like its going to settle in for a while – big flakes and settling fast. Traffic is worse than the driving conditions – so take the long way to get Jacob to school – slow going too – 30kph max.  Get to Jacob’s school in about 20 mins – which isn’t to bad really – and with only one close call.  It really amuses me how many drivers just don’t adjust to the snow or road conditions – esp. those turkeys in 4WD that think they are bullet proof cause they  are in a big vehicle. They tailgate and tend to have a false illusion that the snow parts from under them to a dry road therefore they can drive at hell speeds still.  Hello (or gobble, gobble turkeys) – yes it is 4 wheel DRIVE only, it still has only 4 wheel brakes like every other vehicle except you also generally have an extra 400+ kgs to factor in stopping.  Granted most are responsible but there is also many more idiots out there.  Call Lachlans school then to find out that they are still deciding on what to do but advise to keep him home.  So hit the road then for the hospital and zapping at 9am.

Make the hospital spot on time.  Bloody bad day with the mask again – though get through the treatment and a CT scan – they have to do this each time now as I have the spacers on the mask so to make sure it in  the correct location the scan is needed.  They will look at making a little adjustment as well to another part tomorrow if there is more issues.  But really I only have 7 more Radiation treatments to go so might be easier to suck it up.  Off then for home as snowing really heavily now. And I need to eat as I haven’t had brekky yet or drugs I need to have with brekky either and starting to feel a little out of sorts. Also the left eye is playing up badly now – and I can’t judge distance and have a blur constantly on it therefore making me feel giddy almost.  Head is having a bit of pain today too as well as my back – so going to stay on top of the pain killers.

Try logging into work but can’t get in.  Bugger Manage to finally get in eventually. Should keep me busy for a bit.  Boys have been out playing in the snow for about 3 hours – guess they don’t feel the cold!  Bloody cat is in and out the door  – doesn’t like the snow much.  Put Edward Sissorhands on after lunch to watch as the snow starts to come in thick and fast again! Bugger it – looked like it was easing/clearing!  I keep working as saw the movie 21 years ago when I went to the UK on my OE – all those years ago!  Join in on conference call – nice to finally be able to listen in on one – usually have treatment or appointments or to drained so miss them – sorry Aaron.
