I had a visit from a physiotherapist yesterday as I've peripheral neuropathy in my feet and wanted advice on what exercise I can do. She gave me some simple exercises to do: standing on one foot, walking up and down the bottom step and sitting on a yoga ball. As it was a bright day, my husband came with me for a walk along the street. I managed 1000 steps with my walking stick. I used to regularly do 8000 to 10,000 steps but I feel this is a thing of the past. I'm quite concerned about it really as exercise is important.
I've forced a mince dinner meal down. Everything tastes horrible even one week after EC. I can only describe it as furry. I've been drinking water with mint leaves or cucumber. The filgrastin injections make me feel sick. I've had half a jaffa orange. An early night tonight in my compression socks with 2 x gapapentin.
