hi folks,
well had my first chemo, and not a pleasant time of it either.got there at 11 there was an emergency on the ward, my chemo wasn't ready and sat until 13.30.
great start, half way through wanted to pee (sorry) and went dancing down the ward with my non to willing partner who i shall now call left footed sandra the chemo stand. got tangled on the way to the toilet, did the urgent twostep in a cubicle that isn't designed for a large trucker and a stand, and finally made it back to my seat.
then the catering arrived, sandwiches mmmmmm not can't eat bread.anyroad up finally relaesed back into general population, and experienced for the first time since i was 6 car sickness, least thats what it felt like. decided to take the prescribed anti sickness tab with my painkillers, glass of water gulp gulp and threw up with the feeling of my throat on fire, yes forgot rule no 2 no cold drinks for at least 3-4 days.
so tired, sick, strangly hungry and with more aches and pains than i deserve i'm calling it a day and going to bed, hopefully tommorrow will be better, and to all you guys gone through this you have my upmost envy if it went all right.
as always stay happy positive and love those around you. joe xx
