Well I slept loads better last night after taking a Phenagran at 7pm ish. I did still wake up but I didn't stay awake. It was stingy around my picc dressing where its been changed so much, twice on Thursday than again yesterday, feels a bit of a combination of sunburn and burn from oven. Hopefully it will ease again soon.
I eventually got up and made a cuppa, again, this is becoming a habit, then afterwards had to get my husband to help fit my waterproof Picc cover, I had a shower, you don't realise how helpless you are when one arm is restricted whith what it can do, needed help with washing hair, my upper body privates and especially my back. I have a shower seat, so atleast I can do a little bit. Feel silly needing a hand to dry off afterwards and to dry my hair( once that falls out it will be easier)
Had some fruit toast and tea, I could taste the mixed peel which was really nice.
Went for a short walk just to get some fresh air and get out of the house, it was chilly but I was wrapped up well.
Ate pork chop smothered in 5 spice with salad leafs I could taste slightly, but tomatoes, olives, gherkins were just textures, Had an aldi vanilla protein yoghurt for tea it was yummy, cool on my tongue a bit of creaminess and my favourite food now, ate a few chips and some cheese and prostutio, almonds and some nougat.
Feeling a bit useless, today, but doing my best. Had my Filgrastim injection, will take Phenagran again tonight.
