Tuesday's chemo 3:2 was a quickie , just 1 hour , once we got going . I'd arrived in good time so waited patiently for 45 minutes in the waiting room , avd 22, waiting for my turn. I don't mind waiting and drifted into a reverie watching a nature film on the TV screen opposite me. One after the other people got called in and disappeared with their nurse and I was still there . So, I checked. Turned out that nurse thought I was down for 14:30 not 14:00 and apologised. All's well after all.
Finding the vein went well too, but hurt more since she had to find a spot near my wrist and not take the nice vein in my elbow.
The hour passed by quickly. Had a sandwich while waiting for the Gemsar to drip in. Nurse told me that my bloods were looking good and the platelet count was 450 + also good. YAY !
Took the bus home .
At home more food .
Started with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
My stomach is a bottomless pit- this might curb the hunger .
My appetite for food that I like is INSATIABLE .
Even when I am full I want more .
What is this all about? I ask myself as I scoff my broccoli and mushroom pasta down..... with gusto !
craving more more more .
Tasted SO good.
Don't most cancer patients LOSE appetite and weight ? Not me .
Don't remember what I had after the pasta , but later on had a few ginger nut biscuits with a a couple of squares of dark 85% chocolate and tea .
Mmmmmmm
Did I have anything else to eat after that ?
Don't remember
Have blotted it out , deleted from memory and conscience
A few glasses of hot water , while watching Emmerdale and Holby city .
Television is full of references to food - subconsciously , I am affected , pulled in - but not by the nice glasses of wine being poured that look so good, but no, not tempted . Eye candy only . Thankful for that !
13: 52 As I look to of the window I can see a little blue sky and fluffy clouds just before sunset. Nice
Dressing gown day has been devoted to downloading MP3's onto my iPad , tidying and organising stuff on my computer, iPad and iPhone and listening to calls that I've missed Catching up. Restarting the computer cos I can't get things to sync and behave how I want them to. Control issues . *sighs* Would be great to be a techie whiz and just sort things out . A genie in the bottle - rub bottle and techie computer whizz appears " your wish is my command "
Bread dough is rising
Plan to make a chocolate cake too
Back feels fine apart from when I try to get up out of bed or out of my seat
Haven't taken painkillers
All for now ....TTFN.
