So, I'm 1/3 of the way through now. I'm glad to have the weekend break now. I don't have specific pain as such, but the burnt tongue feeling has increased.
I ate some toast this morning and it was a lot more tricky. Can still just about make out chocolate but most stuff doesn't really have much taste, coke and Pepsi taste awful.
My tongue looks very white but I don't have ulcers yet. I find it stay to think that I've got the other 2/3 to go and hate to think what state my mouth...
It's six weeks and five days since my husband passed away. Every day a difficult one, every day a struggle, every day hollow and empty.
It's not possible to put into words how grief feels. Even if I knew every language in every country I would still not be able to find the words to absolutely convey the misery of loosing my husband. I realise that I had spent so long thinking about him dying that I hadn't really given much thought to him being absolutely gone - forever.
It's been a...
Things seem calmer in camp ginger on the relationship front. Since I promised to try not to be so snappy and he promised to stop making 'jokes' about me being tired and useless everything seems better. Obviously talking is the key to this grown up lark.
Loki (the kitten) went back to the vets today. He's had a bit of a rubbish start to his short life, bless him. He had an eye infection and a cold, then he had a swollen tummy and the vet has him on weekly appointments because he's absolutely...
Woke up today and felt fine. No nausea as yesterday. Got up and made tea first then breakfast for us both. Had been up every hour last night, passing huge quantities of fluid. Found I had lost 2kilos, (4lbs) in the past 24hrs and feel much less bloated. PU and bowels now no problem. No need for laxative today and I begin to wonder if I still need tamsulosin to help me PU. If not, first time in 2 years!
Food variable and suddenly feel I need an antinausea pill. Given maxolon by the chemo unit so...
Things are and aren't normal over in camp ginger. Conflicting information much?
I had my mum up to stay with us over the weekend and she was a complete love. I can only assume that having seen that I'm not likely to drop down any time soon has reassured her enough to be a smiley mothership, rather than an anxious 'freeze your eggs' talking one instead.
I was exhausted from my first week at work but with a couple of sly naps we managed to enjoy the weekend and make the most of it...
Well, the honeymoon period is over and the side effects have come as you could have told me they would.
The skeletal aches, in muscles and body bones, started yesterday afternoon. Uncomfortable to sit or walk or rest. Tiredness more than I've ever felt before. Couldn't settle for sleep last night in spite of all usual pain relievers. Tramadol just makes me so drowsy but doesn't really push me into nod. Rough night having to get up every half to one hour, just to change position. Tried...
