and now we dance..

1 minute read time.

 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

    Hi my lovely Joe,

    Sorry you feel rubbish and it didn't go great... Take all the anti sickness tablets etc before they start next time... and take anything else you need and then some more and then sleep and sleep! (well, that's how I dealt with mine)

    It is crap- no two ways about it.... and you have my sympathies...I danced for joy when they took my pump off for the last time-(well, in my head, couldn't dance for real if my life depended on it...

    (my chemo they put in a pump in a bum bag and packed me off for the week with it dripping in 24/7) so never got a chair or even a sandwich...! though remember that wonderful dance well with the left footed trolley when I had my transfusion... you did make me laugh with that one...

    Hang in there my mate and the biggest hug to you. and listen to your own wise words of love those around you etc...

    ps does your dog have glasses on? The picture is tiny and I think it does and it makes me smile every time I see it, and if it doesn't then who cares, cos it makes me smile anyway....

    Joe --------- so sorry to read this!

    It IS shit, yes, as L.My says, and anything that helps you get through, whether cuppas or warped humour, go for it!

    Sending you HUGE hugs... I had my 2nd chemo today and nearly had to go back in 3 hours after getting home as my temp went up to 38.5!! Thankfully it went back down but I feel run over by a bus, if that's any consolation..?? Or maybe, in a parallel world, you and Sandra ran me over?? ;)

    Best wishes and big blessings to YOU
