if this were the place

Less than one minute read time.

if this were the place; i would tell you how ill  I have felt for the last week, bbb awful

feeling sick and desperate for some sleep  but just lying in this massive bed  like a six acre field. Thrashing round  it top to bottom and hanging over the side it dont make any difference suddenly it all feels lumpy and orrible.

saturday at 03.00 i was changing all the bedding . not that it was grubby in any way i just needed that crispness of fresh sheets and pillows. IT never made any difference exept I couldnt sleep in nice crisp bedding any better than the stuff that had been on for three days execpt that after changing the big sheets and twelve pillow cases i was nackere and breathless . and more unlikely to sleep than before. 

Oh and I,m doing it again not sleeping I mean niot on Sunday or tonight by the look of things and i feel realy poorly.still this isnt the place so i,m saying nowt!!!.

    I've not slept properly for years.Like you I am alone in a large bed. Then like Mike and Anna said I discovered Horlicks. I can't sleep if I don't have it now but if I do then I sleep like a log and wake up feeling rested. So try it Skip, Good luck. Love Julie XX

    hello to you all my good friends

    AAAAAHHH ive just rung yth4e chemo room and spoke to Helen who suggests that it is the usual effects from the chemo mind i never sleep for long i suppose its spending a lifetime on watches. Your body clock gets used to these strange waking hours and doesn’t change easily after many years of time abuse

     She was nice enough to tell me it gets worse as the number of treatments goes up, ive had three now so a few to go I suppose, something to look forwards to?..

     Well I cannot have a baf cos I aint got a baf just a 12 foot square wet floor shower room without a baf fitted in it yet .I want a corner baf with whirlpool  ect and can not afford one yet so the space is there waiting for it.

     But the shower is a very powerful machine and attempts drowning me  every day so I isn't mucky ducky. I have quickly learned not to bend down init to pick things up cos it fills your nose with water and who knows where the water been before it gets down to me snout’s so  its strictly snout up when in here. Singing  is done excepting the risks of a gob full of soapy water Anyway I don't much feel like singing at this time.

     Sleeping pills have no effect on me but make the next day a bad asthma day so their out of the running my temp is now 36*5 so I hope that’s ok

     My left leg is still hurting me like hell; a doctor is  coming here tomorrow to look at it but they don't know that yet!. We are not going down the antibiotics road again while things get worse NO THANKYOU.

     So there you are pals I guess I am a fully qualified cancer Walla now three nights of snarling and huffing and feeling sickly, not getting up till noon, thankfully BENN GUN isn't here cos he would have learned swearing all over again.

     He would have been giving his dying bird impression laying down on his side, in his cage and saying Get up you old fart or worse. He’s best away when im ill for his wing dust.
