Jazz.... a quick update

1 minute read time.

Well it's chemo 5 on Wednesday and apart from the tiredness things have not been too bad, the numbness in hands and feet hasn't worsened since the first cycle so I must not complain too much. In a moment of what i can only describe as chemo brain madness I managed to drown my pc ... I spilt a hot cup of tea over it and it spluttered and died. So obviously I had to go and get a new one.. off to the shops and returned with a little red number... very nice indeed.

Had a mad coughing fit the other week, one of those where you think you have something stuck in your throat and you cough until you gag. Well that is what I did and managed to pull a couple of muscles....Talk about agony!  I am still very sore but it is much better.

The driving lessons are still going on... and on... I just need to remembwer what gear I am in... what the speed limit is.... which is left and right..... thankfully myy instructor was already bald when I started.... if he had not been he would have been by now!!!!

Popped into work with a new sicknote and was surprised at the lovely welcome I received good to now I am missed!!  Most people are fine but there is one lass who finds it so difficult. She hasn't spoken to me but the deputy let it slip that I make her feel unhappy.  She completely ignored me when I visited. Oh well we all deal with the thought of cancer in different ways. Me.. I give it as little houseroom as possible.

I am beginning to think my husband's brain is as bad as mine. On Thursday I asked my husband the date and got the right anser  30th March.... and instantly we both realised it was our wedding anniversary..our 37th! We had both forgotten! Well that has given me a new target to aim for....I intend being around for my 40th!! (Fingers crossed for that then)

Take care all x

  • Aw! Fancy forgetting! Can't blame you because this year (after 42 years together) we both forgot Valentine's day! We always made sure we bought cards and sometimes gifts but this year we both said, "Whoops, sorry!" and offered to go shopping for a card. You, have a decent excuse in having 'chemo-brain' - I'm just plain dotty!

    Fingers crossed for your treatment and for you achieving your driving licence.
