Dark Side Album Cover - If you haven't listened to it then do You love it after a few plays |
Not such a good night, even the night lights are just too bright and it still feels like I have indigestion. I've been listening to The Dark Side of the Moon at 3am by Pink Floyd which is one of my favourite albums, always taking note of the lyrics of 'Time' which echoes frittering away youth and time doing nothing. As the old saying goes "Youth is wasted on the young". I cannot say that I did too much of that though except maybe working too many weekends in my 20's when I could have been out in the fresh air or with family.
The sun is shining into the ward, wow if only I was out on Kinder Scout or even Clumber Park. I'm not going to eat too much today to see if this indigestion will ease. My drip is still on course for a 6.30 finish when Graham and our Sue will pick me up. Bob is very active this morning so I'm not sure if it is another side effect. Dennis and I are going out onto the veranda later if the sun stays out. Mincemeat tart for sweet at dinner- just cannot resist it, Bobs pouch will be blowing up like a balloon. Dennis and I managed some sunshine along with a bit of heart to heart chatting, and I was proud to listen and share thoughts with him. He's a top man with old fashioned gentlemanly values.

2.2 Litres? Great Almost There |
We had a good laugh with one of the care assistants who originated from the Congo in Africa, a big lad who said his name and we thought it was something like Londrie. When were asked again later he wrote it down "Laundry" we thought he was kidding so I said his second name must be Basket. He said "No It's Kumba and all the teenagers on the ward below are calling him CUCUMER". We still didn't know if he was telling the truth about his first name.
Steve just sleeps and Cliff sits quietly suffering with stomach pain or cat napping. I'll be glad to get of here and into normal surroundings however 2 seperate nurses have advised me to return to the ward for my future chemo session rather than have it at home, mainly to get the rest since this is one of the more powerful chemo drugs
Back home its a good shower and a phone around to Mum and Uncle Barry. It's a wait now to see if when or what side effects I suffer. The one I have been warned against is infection so I have to monitor my temperature on a regular basis.
At least I have a warm bum to snuggle up to tonight.
