I decided to have a nice shower and wash my hair lastnight, before I went to bed. What a struggle that is! It takes both my husbands hands and my one hand to get the Limbo on my arm. Then I am walking around the room making robot sounds lifting my arms up and down. I am thankful that I have a seat in the shower lastnight as I was feeling rather drained.
I had quite a good sleep, from 10pm until 12.30 when I needed a pee, maybe I over done making sure I was hydrated enough. I managed to sleep another 2 hours then up again, hubby was snoring but I did get back to sleep until...........5.45 ..yes, I have a new record. By 6.15, I decided it was time to get up and started my day, with a cuppa layer on the sofa watching last night's Call the Midwife.
I managed another 2 cups of tea before the district nurse turned up. It was a different lady from last week but she was just as lovely, and all 3 of us chatted while she first cleaned then flushed my picc, today I needed bloods taken too and she said that she would fill 3 bottles, the first which is discarded then 2 others a purple and a gold top. These bloods are going to determine if all is well for me second session of EC chemo on Thursday. After she took the blood the picc line is flushed again, and then the dressing was changed and a fresh bung was put on. I am so thankful that this is going done at home for me every Monday as its one less trip to hospital.
It's been a beautiful day again, so after a short walk we stocked the cupboards with food again. We got some spicy foods ans some different textured goodies to put in the cupboards incase my taste goes again next week.
I went out for another walk on my own as some new friends we made last year at our local bowls had a baby girl on 22nd Dec and I have been itching to visit for a big cuddle. She's sooooo cute as we were sat chatting she was looking at me, stuck her tongue out probably thinking who's this strange person rubbing my hand. She didn't puke on me, which her mum said she might, she obviously knew better.
I have felt totally like I haven't even had chemo, no aches, no indigestion, no anything even my sore mouth us feeling better. I really hope its a good sign that things will stay like this until Thursday comes again.
I'm going to enjoy as many nice meals as I can this week, I might even have a little G&T
