3 Too Many

Wednesday 27 June Ramble

Day 10 of 28 Treatment Free.

Wow – Wednesday already!  Think my eyes were shut before my head hit the pillow last night.  Busy morning as need to meet the repairers at the house at 8am to let them in and load up the last of the stuff to go to Dad’s for storage. Scoff down brekky and take off with Dad.  Take the current drug recipe –  and some pain killers – not for the back, which is going really well at the moment, but for the head.  Getting pains still – the ones that I get Botox treatment for, which are unrelated to the tumors.  But I did get some pain as well on the right side – so have to watch those pains as that’s where the 3 unwanted live.

Get the tradees in, and set their access code to the house.  They set into the work almost straight away – fantastic to see.  There is 6 of them working on the inside of the house and going to be a couple of others start on the outside.  The hardest bit is the lifting of the floors upstairs to find out what is happening (don’t say earthquakes – I think we know that) to cause the floors to drop and break on the I-beam. Not my worry – they can figure it and fix it!  Dad loads the car and then takes off.

Sue takes me into work – nice to be back in the office as it has been a week since I was last there thanks to the lurgy.  Even nicer to see the Press House Care crew (have to come up with a new name for them as not the same flow as the PortaCare Crew).  Must have been away a while as Bernard didn’t even wait for me to get coffee ;-)  Catch up with whats been going on over the past week and sit in on a conference call. Bad day with tremors too, just can’t seem to shake them!  Excuse the pun!  Keep riding highs and lows energy wise too which doesn’t help.  Building shaking a bit today, no aftershocks recorded so put it down to the Grant Thornton building been demoed across the Square as they are using a knibbler from the outside cause it is to dangerous apparently to deconstruct internally.  I get picked up at 1:30.  Head (via a handbag shop) to pick Lachlan at 2pm as they are having parent teacher interviews.  Then off home.  Jacob cruises in about 2:45 after scootering home for the first time to the new / temporary house.  He has had a fair day at school as a part of a special charter week – wearing mufti, activities and crap food for sale – why didn’t we do that when I was at St.Thomas’s?  Oh, that’s right, I had to be at school to be able to know they did things like this ;-)

Head pains keep coming and going – Botox side.  Ironically I should be getting my top up tomorrow if things were normal! Well we all know that normal changed just after the last one.  They haven’t ruled out starting them again after the 6 months of Chemo or sooner if the migraines on the left come on again badly.  Well seen as the Botox is wearing off, I think that it could be a possibility I’ll be getting more.  Still have to wait and get started on the Chemo.

Feeling drawn so login to work and just cruise through the arvo. Been a very quiet arvo, evening as no energy to do much.  Have Sky again so at least have something half decent to watch.  Work on blog and try to stay awake.  Pain and brain just not helping me accomplish much tonight.  I know I also said that I was going answer comments but guess that’ll wait – sorry.

M&D time been and gone – just need sleep!! Race Yah!!  I’ll win!  Keep safe all – and enjoy the day/arvo/evening.

Kia Kaha.
