Chemo. round two .....

1 minute read time.

Or, as they call it, 1B ... ;)

Started the day by taking temp, tablet, & jabbing my tummy, then dropped off at the hospital by mum & stepdad.

All went well there, but back ache I woke with wouldn't go... dressing & wound checked - not oozing now it has a dry dressing instead of clear one. Waiting for results of swan taken to see if need antibiotics.

Back to mum's, back killing me, ate some lunch but not really hungry, wanted to lie down... did so, in spare bed, but then couldn't get warm...... asked mum to take me home earlier than planned so I could put warm clothes on - took temp - 37.8, half hour later  - 38.5... eek! Would I need to go in for antibiotics?? Called hospital - they said as I was not vomiting or bleeding (?? - from my tube??) to just take temp every half hour and if 2/3 times later it hadn't fallen, to call back ready to go in. Thankfully it was 37.5 on last reading!

Mum taken girls to hers for the night so I can have some peace n quiet, with the proviso that I call if I am even SLIGHTLY ill/hot etc :)  Tool 2 ibuprofen and back better too.

It has knocked me about much more than last time, though now temp is lower I am feeling more human. Surrounded by iced water and tonic water, book, TV remote, laptop, phones, thermometer, cushions, fluffy dressing gown and blanket..... all of that just in case! I am lolling on my Very Comfy Sofa too, so may not make it to bed lol!
All in all, knackered but smiling..............................albeit slightly feebly ;)

    Well done to you for being able to smile and joke when you are obviously feeling a little (probably an understatement) sore/sick/hot/uncomfortable.

    Hugs feel better tomorrow

    As I said that is one month down now :-)

    I had one of those digital thermometers that you stuck under the arm until it bleeped......except after having DHAP and suffering bi-lateral hearing loss I couldn't hear the blessed thing. My son and hubby would be shouting "You're bleeping"

    May not be on here much over next few days. Hubby suddenly decided to start decorating yesterday.......will fill you in on my next blog.

    Love and hugs xxxxx
