day 4 chemo 3 A good day

2 minute read time.

 Today was a good day and I like them like this.

I got up later after a good nights sleep--Ray said I really snored.
I didn't hear it so that's ok.
We had a lazy breakfast and then I had a shower but it found a leak --whoops so Ray had to Re-Mastic a little bit.
Our other central heating leak is ok now so we don't want anymore.
I did house work while Ray was busy just doing a room slowly and a bit at a time I got through it all.
Put the washing out in the windy sunny day and even cleaned the windows.
I haven't over done anything you just pace yourself and it is exercise to, I seem to be in the Chemo fidget anyway as sitting still is very hard.
 
Ray put the light up out the back that he bought the other day, when my neighbour came round for a chat which was a very nice as she has been away in Buxton and as they came home, they saw the snow ploughs going in, so they had got back and missed the snow there today.
We have made arrangements for a Christmas drink before we both go away to our different families Christmas . 
 
After lunch, of Sausages and bubble and squeak, I said I really felt like a walk so off we went much to the dogs delight.
I took my Trekking stick and I needed it but we did have a great walk --I wore my new M&S coat --oh so warm against the colder wind and it has a Fur edge Hood for the really cold weather to come.
I will wear a scarf over my mouth, in the coldest winter winds, as Lynne advised in the comment today.
We got back in doors and snuggled down to a great sleep for half an hour, so refreshing and so needed.
Then I decided to write all my Xmas cards which filled up a lot of time, and hurt the brain as I have to remember names and address's, but I also realize how the list gets shorter where we have lost friends this year--that's all a point of getting older isn't it.
Well I had cheese on toast for tea and I have watched X Factor and now the Jungle.
 
It is pouring hard tonight so Ray and Louis have gone out for a quick walk --hope they don't get to wet.
I will get to bed later and have a nice snore --He! He! Ray don't get upset xx

    You have motivated us into starting our Christmas cards.Better be early if there is going to be more postal disruption. Your daily blog arriving in my email is becoming something of an obsession with us & its usually a race between my wife and myself to find out what culinary delights you have prepared for yourselves. I am also keen to follow your chemo progress as it will probably be my next move although hoping to postpone it until after we return from Cyprus in January. Thank you for your cheerfulness & enthusiasm.

  • Hi

    this comment really pleases me as if im helping just one person then that makes it worthwhile.

    I write about what I eat to let others see that the appetitite stays good.

    I eat and eat but also I love fruit juices.

    Tomato was todays one and then orange.

    I know i talk about the sickness but I find that I feel better afterwards as if Im passing the chemo out.

    I do get constipated also as if it all passes through the system and than you feel so much better.

    Have a great holiday and come back afresh and then start chemo thats what i did and to be told its gone to sleep is the most brilliant news.

    I know there is no cure YET but there might next year there might xxxx

    Love Mavis
