Day 3 Chemo 2 A wet Lettuce sort of Day

2 minute read time.
All my friends have gone to Firework Rallies this weekend and I feel real left out.
My MCC Kent Group are at Blackheath for the big firework display that happens every year. It is always such a great meet at the school there where on the Saturday you have all of Greenwich to visit and boat trips into the middle of London. I always go and have a great time.---not this year.
This year I spent Friday between getting up and sitting on the settee and going back  to bed.
It was a day of total lack of energy day.
Ray went shopping to get me anything I fancied that I would eat.
When I let him do that he comes back with loads of chocolate so I have stored all that away for when I'm better and for when its Xmas, The rest of the shopping was very good though and we packed it all away. 
The dog kept asking to go out for a walk, but as I didn't go once again, it wasn't very long before he stood on his heels and Ray had to bring him back.
 
They are doing road works in Faversham Road and Ray is fascinated by the fact they have closed the whole road off and there is pandemonium trying to get the traffic to divert up to small lanes to the Thanet way.
So all day Ray kept me informed about the state it was all getting in out there.
I just laid where ever I could feeling like a limp lettuce leaf.
My eyes seemed extra sensitive to the light so Ray suggested I put my Sunglasses on in doors, which did help but I went back to bed and had a sleep in the early afternoon woke up, had tea and went back again.
 
The dog kept nudging me for  his last walk so I had to ask Ray to take him and off they went, just as the heavens opened and the Rain Poured down. Oh no I thought that will get Ray into a bad mood, but no, he still came back enthralled with the way the traffic was still in chaos out on the main road.
It is going to last for some day,s so I hope it keeps him amused for all that time. I bet the drivers are cursing out there though.
 
I have been asleep then from 10.00 to 5am which has refreshed me and I feel human today.
I was sick 3 times but to be honest I felt better for being so, it is like it does really need to clear the body.
But the tablets do work as this is nowhere near like the first time.
I feel today might be a better day.

    Thinking of you, I hope you feel better for the rest of the weekend. I love Bonfire night and usually have some fireworks at home, ( Just me and my partner) we are like big kids. Anyway on thursday I was third day chemo and felt lousy just like you Mavis. Anyway it is my birthday next wednesday so we have decided to have them then. Just the two of us big kids together. Take Care Love Julie XX PS I hope the traffic keeps Ray occupied for the forseeable future. X
