Birthday Druggie Post

I managed to get through my birthday on Monday mostly by pretending for a day not to be ill and having a nice lunch, much of it "liquid" with Lorna and Lee as I decided to give myself a day off from being good. Unfortunatly both Lee and Poppy have sore throats so I have been washing hands and staying away from both of them - back on the couch and I did not even do anything wrong!. I was compensated by lots of nice cards and presents specially from Lee, Poppy and Holly.

Tomorrow is the first day of self injection, hence the druggie joke in the title, the syringes are in the fridge, and I need to pluck up the courage to stick the needle in tomorrow. Then I will have two days of injections and sore bones before hopefully getting chemo 3 administered on Wednesday (actually Friday sorry !) which will take me to the half way point for the first phase of the treatment.

Overall things are going pretty well for me, sickness has passed and hair is still attached to the top of my head so I am in good shape for the next treatment if I keep taking my, exercise, vegatables and supplements. Meditation CD's are being dusted off and I will need to get into the zone ready for Friday. Up till then it should be business as usual.

Cheers

Gerry
