Day +1

Less than one minute read time.

All went well with hubby's first chemo yesterday - the only hiccup being that there was no parking spot outside the unit so I had to drop him off, then drive round the hospital to find a place and leg it back. Lo and behold as I arrived at the unit doors I espied a parking space! 

Once treatment started hubby realised he had made a mistake with the reading material - a newspaper, too big to handle. Instead he dozed through the bits in between the nurse fiddling. Well doing her job really but as he's on two different meds and there's the flushing before, in the middle and at the end, there's a lot of bag changing.

Both of us slept well last night, although awake very early this am. Mick was up before me which is unheard of when he hasn't something on. He's says his chest feels easier although he still had the horrendous coughing episode for 10 minutes after rising.

    Hi Lippi,

    Glad chemo went well.  I find an ipod for music and a Sony Reader which is just the right size - and print can be increased in size - is ideal for these sessions.

    Love,

    Jan xx

    Hi Lippi,

    Car Parking now isnt that a suprise not, there should be  Parking Spaces for the People who are receiving treatment,and will be there for a long time.

    But what are we supposed to expect miracles. We should be so lucky.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx
