Hi on day 7 I feel better but its only 4am. I cant sleep and I went to bed so much later that I thought I would sleep into day. It is always this bad taste I have that wakes me up. Its not metallic anymore but not very nice it till makes me queasy.
I really cant drink Tea or Coffee only milk shakes or fruit juices and thank goodness for my mouth wash as that really helps.
Well yesterday was a much brighter day with me holding conversations with Ray and the dog.
I tried to take the dog into the garden for a minute but I was so shaky I felt 100 years old.
The Dustmen took our old mattress away, terrible really as I offered it to the Salvation Army as it was brand new but they said that health and safety says they cant have them now.
Shame I would have loved it to have gone to a charity for the homeless.
Ray managed a big shop and he bought a 4 slice toaster so lots of toast can be made now as I seem to have a passion for toast.
He also bought 2 new pillars so we had extra for me but hadn't realized they came in packs of 2-- so I have an extra 4 pillars now, mmm luxury.
I ate real fine yesterday when he made the fish pie and Broccoli and I added lots of prawns into it that was really nice and then I got to really fancy something so I had a Banana mashed up with sugar and put it into a sandwich.
I really wanted to walk the dog on his last walk at night but I just haven't got the strength so maybe today I will be able to get the tinker on a longer walk but he did have a game with me as I threw his toys around so he had some exercise.
Oh dear looking at my watch and its still only 4.30 I wonder if I can go back and have a nap for an hour.

Hello - glad to hear you are getting through your first cycle so well. Two top tips for a nasty taste in your mouth - instaed of mouthwash (which washes away all of our natural flora in the mouth) try chewing gum - even for two minutes as this stimulates saliva production and helps the mouth freshen naturally. Also in most supermarkets in the toothbrush section you can get a tongue scraper or brush - I find using this when I brush my teeth helps keep the tongue fresh and I can taste my food much better too. I only use mouthwash IF I get an ulcer - my Dentist advised mouthwash could create more problems rather than prevent them !!
Good luck and hope you manage to get a walk with your dog. Love Jools xxxx
