Day 9 The fidget

2 minute read time.

 

There is something new going on today and that's I cant sleep because I cant lay still.
If I'm flat I wont to be curled if I'm curled I want to be flat.
Continually on the move --so I got up visited the bathroom and I have taken painkillers and hope I might tire-- so writting my blog even earlier. 2.45 to be precise.
Its a shame as I had a great day yesterday.
We went to lunch with friends and had a good time.
We took Louis in the car and set off along to the sea front and while I stayed with our friends Ray took Louis for a great walk on the beach in the Rain-- so he has at last had a good walk -- then a great play with our friends Daughter who tired him right out.
Lots of soup and bread and chat and I really did feel better.
I was worn out by the time we got back home so had a sleep and everything was good.

A MHF friend has emailed asking if it would be OK to come and see me from Leeds in December and we would go out for a meal,but I cant plan a December meet up, as I don't know where I will be on the Chemo programme and how I will feel.
Makes me realize how messed up my life is as I would have normally said "yes great --of coarse" --I cant.
Not until this Chemo programme is finished can I do what I want.
I have trouble with even planning this weekend I want to go in the M/H to a Rally on sat and stay for one night but I don't know how I will be or if I can cope with a night away, I know Ray is worried if we go as he is always worry if I do to much.

We had  a dinner of Sweet and sour chicken, which I cooked for us, last night but I get so bloated-- never before have I had that feeling that I have eaten enough but now I leave the table feeling so full.
I made a rhubarb and custard during the evening much to Rays delight.
By bedtime I was so tired I dropped into bed and went straight off to sleep and then the fidgets started. Wiggle wiggle wiggle.
Oh dear I will go back and try to have some more sleep.

    I still wake up in the middle of the night almost every day. Not sure why but I don't want to go back on pain killers or anything else if I can help it. I just read for a while and have a little radio that I plug myself into until I fall asleep again (usually with the radio still on!)

    Hugs all round

    I was the same to start with on chemo, my other half did offer to smack me round the head with a lump of 4 by 2, by I declined his offer! Then I had the opposite promblem I couldn't stay awake! I couldn't plan anything either. I hope you sleep tonight my sweet............love carol x

    Seems like many of us are nocturnal. I usually wake up between 2 -4 and there's no way I can get back to sleep. I usually switch on the laptop and within an hour I;m ready for a sleep. It's so annoying though to wake up every night. I'm hoping it's the chemo and everything will go back to normal once I've finished. Is that wishful thinking?

    Fingers crossed for a night of peaceful slumber tonight.

    That's what I like about this site. You soon find out that whatever the strange effect this thing is having on your body that you are not alone!

    I'll be thinking of you all when I wake up in the middle of the night again...
