Hi everyone,
today is a day of rest...... I had my chemo into my spine yesterday....not pleasant and took 4 attempts...... I have another one tmrw... YUCK!
The food isn't getting better... I have ordered a jacket potatoe for lunch but I think I will have to ask Dave to bring me a goodie bag of some sort... or pizza later. When my blood count drops I will become neutropenic, which means I can't leave my room and have to eat certain things and avoid others...even black pepper!
My next chemo IV'd is on day 8 (Thursday) and its Vincristine, the nurse mentioned its a tough one and I would need rest for a few days before having it.... I took a sleeping tablet last night to knock me out but I have trouble sleeping on the bed... apprently its not the usual bed for the room.. so I have moaned and complained and hopefully they will swap it soon. I was awake most of the night. I will snooze today as they don't need to bother me with tablets and chemo.
Anyway looking forward to the snow coming... will give me something to watch out of the window! My TV aerial is terrible.. who ever designed and built this place should have thought about putting a large antenna on the roof and then linking an aerial into all the rooms... instead of patients buying and relying on a portable aerial that you constantly have to move around the room for a signal... its terrible!!
Bye for now
Ali

I hope you get the food and the bed sorted. I'm sorry your treatments been so horrid Ali, I hope the ones tomorrow won't be so bad and that you are rested.
