Day 13. Unlucky for some .... But not too bad for me today I'm happy to report. Didn't feel quite as fuzzy as yesterday. I started too and just as I thought it was going to get worse it didn't. Yay !! Had fizzy knees and arms and a bit headachey in the pm but all in all not too shabby. My working day wasn't so flash, but I think the shit should get sorted out. Fingers crossed on that one !!
Our beautiful new deck was finished today. OMG sooo gorge !! We love. We now have a proper area to access the pool. Things are beginning to shape up nicely. But unfortunately I got so caught up in work, the closest I came to a dip today was watching my friend soak up the sun whilst I slaved away inside .... Sigh .... Oh well it's nearly the weekend. I've been told not to sunbathe too much as I might blister ( another side effect of the chemo) but so far so good !! Oops :-)
Now .... Maverick (our puppy) is into chewing EVERYTHING .. Grrrrr ( that's me not him) he ate a mozzie candle tonight. I thought I'd put everything that was remotely edible out of reach. But noooo obviously glass & citronella are a tasty treat to a dog. He has all the toys a little puppy could need ... But leave something out for just one minute ..... Will be an interesting poo when that one comes out !! Hahah ouch !!! Whinge over !! Full stop !!
My mum is currently sitting at her oncology appointment as I write this. She just txt me to say that the appointments are running 2 hours late due to someone being sick !! (aren't they all sick ??) A phone call to advise would be nice ... Before they left home ... But I guess that's the NHS !! Hope it all goes ok mum. Love you xxxx
It's amazing how things change so quickly. I've just got back from the shops and some lovely retail therapy. Purchased a beautiful little Thomas Sabo charm for my bracelet & also a lovely little top from Saba. Felt fabulous and happy. Then within 1/2 hour got crabby & irritable snapped at the love of my life :-( now I feel awful. I totally blame the drugs ... It must be them. I was fine when I walked in the door..... even got a glass of wine and a big kiss & hug as soon as I walked in. So I had nothing to be grumpy about. I'm now sitting here writing this taking deep breaths willing the nasty attitude to pass. Music is on so shouldn't take long ..., although I'm not sure Dirks taste in music is really going to help.... Ok so I just fucked up again and asked hom to take the shit music off. Maybe I could have put it a little nicer ... but nooo I chose to be blunt !!! Aarrggghhhh someone help me please. I think I'll go and cry now ..... Oohhhh Coldplay :-) that might help.
I think it's time to have another sip and chill for a while now. Time to chillax. And time for the Thalidomide..... Ho hum ....
Day13 ....
On 24th January 2012 I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. This came as a complete shock to me and my family. But once diagnosed I decided to put fingers to keyboard and record the journey. Hopefully helping anyone out there understand the side effects of the chemo and drugs involved, but also to be able to share my feelings with my family and friends who are spread across the globe and can't be by my side......
