It was good to have a week off . It was filled with visits from friends and family. I have learned that The Universe abhors a vacuum , so when I leave a space , it always gets filled and it's always a surprise.
Today started early. A cold and dull day. By 10 am I was at the hospital leaving the usual blood tests before a chemo session. There were lots of people there so a bit of a wait and the a cup of tea and breakfast in the cafe. Brought my own sandwich with me this time , Went to check in at 11 and found that my counsellor ( Kurator ) and Oncology Doctor's appointment were both down for 2 pm . What to do with 3 hours to spare ? Decided to walk home ( exercise ) and then make my way back after lunch.
It was good to have my counsellor with me as I want her to know what is going on with me. The doctor told me that my platelet count was good and was up from 70 to over 200 . Excellent recovery after the dip. Results for the liver were down, but , since that sometimes happens after chemo , nothing to get het up about . Lungs, blood pressure , tummy were all fine. Fatigue is a side effect of the chemo the doc said . I am feeling very tired and finding it hard to think and focus . Had a nap when I got home , made something to eat and then another nap. Must also be the physical exercise; I walked home from the hospital.
I've had a hot bath now , watched Emmerdale and now forced myself to blog. My mind's a blank . Great for meditation but less great for writing something that makes sense and describing what is going on.
Will set the alarm for 6 am now and go to bed .
Thank you for reading .
Night night all.,,, love and hugs xxxx
