That’s good Ffosse, all going to plan, stay positive!
Just checking all is going well. x
I’ve slept most of the time, I’ve been so tired. There is a drip in my arm, just saline and bicarbonate of soda now. The cancer drug tomorrow.
I hope you are able to sleep tonight Dreamy.
Just came to say Goodnight.
I slept fine. Have had breakfast and a shower.
Will start the chemo drip in around 2 hours.
The Consultant just popped in to say hello, and I had nothing unusual to report to him. I’m getting a bit bored with being in hospital already and they haven’t started my Methotrexate yet.
He says I should get home on Monday which was what I was thinking.
The TV on the wall here is very small, it’s hard to adjust from my own TV.
I’ve now got cannulae in each arm which is going to be very uncomfortable when both machines are running. But the cancer drug is only for 6 hours. Still, it will make going to the toilet or eating difficult. They tried 4 times to get a cannula in my right hand along with the other but no luck.
Still, I’m feeling OK apart from that. And it’s been raining steadily all morning - can’t remember when it last rained.
Fuerza Fflosse .
Thank goodness I don’t have those cannulae things. I can imagine how difficult it must be having one in each hand, you’ll have to get those lovely nurses to help you!
I hate those cannula things!!! But they are necessary.
They have the same problem with me, getting them in my hand.
I do know how distressful that feels.
Thank-you for the update Dreamy.
I’m certainly having no problem sleeping - didn’t think I would after sleeping most of yesterday but I did again last night.
Just awaiting a cup of coffee and my breakfast now. The chemo is over and they are just monitoring me for a couple of days. I have a special mouthwash as ulcers are a common part of the side effects.
Good Morning Dreamy.
I am thinking of you stuck in hospital.
I’ve had my lunch - gammon steak with peaches and mashed potatoes, then ice cream.
I’m now back on the double drip for periods of 15 minutes every 3 hours, then it diminishes from there. Then I get ever more sophisticated mouth washes.
Poor you, my lovely friend.
My boys still get them. I have found out that is might be a vitamin deficiency,
The constant infusions are becoming tiresome. One is constant, the other every 3 hours or so. I’m told that they finish tomorrow. It’s just having a cannula in each arm is very restrictive.
Oh, Dreamy I have been thinking about how miserable you must be.
Tomorrow will soon come my lovely friend. x
One of them is due to finish in a couple of minutes, I’m going to see if the nurse can temporarily stop the other one so I can have a shower.
My hand and arms are aching from where all the needles have been.I won’t be getting out today but probably tomorrow. I don’t want to spend all day in here tomorrow and end up leaving at 8pm.
I can’t remember the first round of methotrexate being quite as grueling as this
You must feel drained Dreamy.
I hope you can get home for your Birthday.
Although if you don’t, I’m sure they will make a fuss of you.
I read that the TV is working now.
I know you say it is small, but at least it is something.
Thinking of you as always.
I might try watching TV as I’m fed up with reading.
