My stomach continues to gradually settle down, the tube site still aches and my stomach muscles feel tender still but the gas seems to be slowly easing. It *is* bad though, the trapped wind is the absolute worst. It even woke me up last night, sitting here now I can feel my shoulders start to ache which means another attack is imminent.
I have been getting daily visits from the district nurses, they are very nice and do the daily cleaning and care of the tube which needs to be done. I'll say this form this damned peg tube, its taken my mind off those imminent treatments. I can't believe I start them in a couple of days.
I'm as prepared as I can be, I could do with some more dissolvable paracetamol but that's about it. I'm using the radiance cream three times a day and I have my supply of mouthwash ready too. I know the first couple of weeks will be easy enough, but each day things will slowly get worse. I think this is going to be worst part, knowing that it's going to get worse before it gets better. Knowing that I have, most likely, several months of poor health ahead of me before I get back to where I am now.
Good grief I _really_ hate cancer, what a total bastard.
