All the days are starting to blur. Every day feels like a Saturday ...
Fortunately though, a good number of my friends seem to work
at home, on shifts, or have leave to use so I will never be short of company if
I want some.
I’m also feeling MUCH better. I do still get slight stomach
twinges and head pains but nothing like the horrors I experienced earlier in
the week.
So it means I can actually ‘do’ stuff. This morning I get to wait in for four hours (woo-hoo!)
for my phone line to be fixed. It had
been broken for several days before I realised so apologies to anyone who
thought I’d gone AWOL.
And then I’m off to lunch with Mrs M. Not seen her since
before Christmas, so it will be nice to catch up. Managed to get out yesterday too. Met another friend for lunch and then
pottered round the shops for an hour or so.
So I am getting about. My energy levels are generally good
until about 4pm but then they start to fizzle and by 9.30pm I’m doing the
blinky ‘I-can’t-keep-my-eyes-open’ thing.
It’s meant some adjustment in our eating times too.
I’ve also noticed that certain foods are a no-no. Bless him,
Mr P. made me a really nice sweet and sour chicken the other day with the
smallest amount of chilli in. It really wasn’t that hot to the taste but it
really made me stomach sting – that’s how tender my insides are feeling. So everything is still very much trial and
error.
However, I’m pleased to report that Penguin biscuits and Strawberry Split lollies hold no such hidden
dangers ... ;-)
Hi Kate, this is Phil from the AAT Assessments team.
ReplyDeleteJust want to say "hello" and let you know, as I'm sure you know, we're all right behind you.
I had cancer myself many moons ago and did six months of chemo. Chemo turned me into a smoker but its amazing the inner strength you can find when life is testing you. Keep on blogging!
Cheers, Phil. K x
