Kezzerbird........am I asking for to much or What!!!!!!!!

2 minute read time.

Hellooooooooooooooo all my mates out there in Macland. Yes the next installment of the Kezzerds chemo journey UMPH!

It all started with yours truely getting out of her pit at 5 am, It thought, right take Etopeside (chemo tablet) wait for an hour then have a bowl of rice crispies and several buckets of tea, wash face, clean teeth and get clothes on, black leggings, pink low neck top, cardigan and boots and not forgetting to put my undies on of course. It was rainnig buckets outside and there is moi waring a low top! I have to ware a low top, not that I want to expose myself but my portacath is low down and the nurses have to get at it! Um what hair shall I ware today, curly me thinks, yep. Right the bird was ready to go. Kev 'the wig stand turned up at 7 from doing a 12 hour night shift and asked me if I had a confirmation phone call from the hospital transport, to which I answered no but I had spoken the the cancer nurse on MONDAY to check if chemo was going ahead and that I needed transport, I was told she would deal with that for me for yesterday FRIDAY. I should know better by now. Kev and the dog went up to bed. Now I needed to be at the hospital tp start treatment at 8.20, it was now 7.45 with no sign of transport, so I tried to phone the hospital 15 phone calls later from a very red faced bird with steam coming of her wig finally got hold of someone......we have no record of you needing transport ARGHHHIHHHHHHHHHH! My treatment began at 1.25 and I finally left the hospital at 9pm and got home at 10. OH JOY.  I was hoping against all hope to finally be able to complete one full cycle of chemo, 3 sessions over 3 weeks, I was told to have a rest for 2 weeks then go back and see my Onc, WHY says I, we don't know, came the reply. " You lot don't know very bloody much do you" Opps red mist desending !!!! So this morning there is a grey mist desending here outside but the sun is coming out, so the bird is going to have another bucket of tea, sort all the crazy animals out and spend the day in the garden. I shall be checking to see if the little furry gits have been continueing their munch fest in my green house with my seedling again. So think of me in my garden being sworn at by Kezzer the chicken bird (my African Grey parrot!) all day, bless her. Love and hugs to those who want them Carol the am I asking for to much Kezzerbird XXXXXX

    Oh Carol,

                   What a day! We all hope that our appointments and chemo sessions will go smoothly, but to have a load of hassle before AND after you get there is too much. I  am lucky in that I have a very good friend who drives me to the hospital, but once I get there I have had missing blood results, mis-read scans, appointment mix-ups etc, etc.

                    Hope you feel more relaxed in your garden although I think you may have had to recurl that wig after letting off all that hot steam.

                     Take care and feel well,

                                  Love lizzie xx

    Hi Carol,

    What a carry on you've been having. I've been to 3 appts last week at diff hospitals and saw a registrar each time. now I've nothing against them as such but having to wait while they check with main consultant what they'd just said was ok at half hour to forty mins a time is a joke and the last one if he'd said unfortunately one more time I was ready to deck him.

    As they say I had a very large sense of humour failure. LOL.

    Take care, love and hugs.
