So tired after final chemo this afternoon
It was a quick fix .
Saline solution and Gemsar , taking about an hour
Atmosphere at the hospital was a bit nonchalant - not the usual TLC that I 've become accustomed to .
Instead , nurse calls out my name and tells me to go along to room 2 -' I'll beright there ' she says .
Ok
By now know the drill , and get settled on my bed waiting to be hooked up to the meds-
Nurse asks the usual 'how have you been ? ' questions without really bothering to hear what I have to say . She inspects my arms ad decides on right arm , inside elbow as the safest bet . There are bruises everywhere on both arms from previous puncturing .
That done , I am all hooked up to the meds and monitor. nurse leaves and I close my eyes and drift off into partial sleep .
After half an hour or so, the monitor alarm goes off so I press my red alarm button expecting people to come running but nobody comes.
10 minutes later still nobody and the alarm sound is making me nervous
I catch the attention of a passer by who promises he'll find my nurse
When Maria finally arrives she tells me she was distracted her way there.
A few more minutes and i'm unhooked ready to go home .
The first bus is full and so is the second one.
At home I grab a banana and then make myself a cheese and tomato sandwich ... and then another one , followed by orange juice and then a glass of hot water followed by another glass of hot water as I am very thirsty and very tired.
Bath, relax and now for a nap
Peace zzzzzzzz
