As you may have guessed from yesterday the cumulative effects of the chemotherapy are begining to show and I have continued to be a sleepyhead today as well. The good news is apart from the sore fingernails and sleepyness my Eassic tea and supplements (along with anti nausea meds) seem to be keeping my digestive and other symptoms under control and I feel quite well when I am not hiding under the duvet. Today I managed to cut the grass and our elderly neighbours grass before running out of energy so the new seats for the MG are still in the garage rather than in the car as had been planned. Thankfully from Lees point of view I did not set my sights on clearing out anything in the house so domestic harmony was much improved over last cycles events. Never the less the girls went out for drinks last night for sarahs birthday and met up again for moral support this morning at the cafe across the road just in case I was misbehaving and Lee needed coffee therapy - any excuse I think !
So tonights plan is to collapse for an hour or so in front of the TV and then to wobble off to bed with my liter of water (the fourth of the day) to keep my system flushing through. Tomorrow morning there is an MG club run down to the borders and Dumfries which I may be good enough for, depends on how I feel and the weather I guess. Now the trees are fully in leaf around the house and the sun is just going down, it feels like this whole chemo experience so far has actually been a really positive thing for me bringing me closer to Lee, Poppy and Holly and less consumed with job and "action lists". Whenever I do get back to work I do not think I will approach it in quite the same way... but lets see how the scans go before we let heads drift too far in that direction. So all quiet on this front and the positivness of warm late spring days is permeating our house and our mood on a fine day.
I hope things are as well where you all are
Cheers
Gerry
