Monday , Tuesday Wednesday

Hello Bladder Blog and faithful readers

Wednesday today , I think . What happened to Monday and Tuesday ?
Let's see


Monday : 6/10
A full day
Didn't want to get up out of my cosy bed, feeling weak and drained from two days of diarrhoea .Emptying shit . Imagining all the while that 'all that I no longer need is going down the toilet ' made me feel good.

It wasn't so bad once I got dressed and got going.
Took the bus and then a short walk up the hill to the hospital .
First the lab to leave bloods before 10:30
Sat down to collect thoughts and answer the phone
Next appointment with counsellor Birgitta in the bowels of the earth ,  -2 floor,  at the hospital .

Useful tips : Be gentle with yourself . Listen to your body and whims . What applies now , may not be true a little later. Go with the flow . Keep asking yourself :  " What do I need right NOW ? " throughout the day . Let your friends know that the effects of chemo will be affecting you . In a way it is like being pregnant . Rest .

Enjoyed the mindfulness exercise at the end of our session. A bit like a workout for the soul .

12:30 Jill picks me up outside the hospital. Lunch , chat and sushi . Miso soup tasted fab !

14:15 Lena and I go in search of wigs . Found a lovely one . Brought it home with me to try on at leisure . Haven't got round to that yet. Have it till Friday to decide , keep it or not.

Tuesday 7/10

Second chemo
A cold and blustery day . Perfect for chemo , said Alex in his text lol
Gun arrived with greetings and flowers from Magnus and Julia . I am touched and overwhelmed.

The session at the hospital,was actually quite enjoyable . Fun almost , thanks to Gun keeping me company . There were delays, a few cups of tea and by 5pm we were both ravenous . Pizza to the rescue , then bath and bed and 10 hours sleep straight through . Amazing

Today, Wednesday   8/10 :

15:30 . Christine sent me healing . Felt a surge of heat and energy. Had to lie down for a bit to breathe , allow and receive

Time to eat again ,  So far today , I've had a banana , 2 egg omelette , tea , vitamin C and a few chocolate biscuits .

Thank you all for love , blessings and healing energy support.

Catch you later .......

Love love love ...
