Well today I have to go to either John Lewis or the Apple store for an iPhone case. The Apple store is only a mile away, just past Lewis’s.
The case I have is too thick and bulky so I’m looking for something sleeker. Not sure £55 for a leather case is worth it but I’ll probably cave in. I’m either going for forest green or midnight blue or maybe red.
I wouldn’t have believed it if someone told me 6 months ago that this was all I had to bother about.
The good thing is,you are motivated to do some shopping,which would have been impossible ,when you were so poorly,…I haven’t had chemo,but my God it knocks the stuffing out of you,plus all those nasty infections you had,Ffosse,…I had a operation as you know,I was on a HDU,for a couple of days,I know what it feels like to be poorly,…I am so pleased to read you are feeling better,…hope things continue to improve for you,…because I just know,that you have been through so much,God Bless You!!.:hug:
Thank you very much - it’s nice to have people rooting for me.
I got a taxi up to the store (not thinking I would quite make it with my chest infection) but walked back which is all downhill.
I’m still taking this antibiotic course of pills. Apart from a bad cough, I don’t think it has sapped my energy too much. In the past I know I would have had a fever too, necessitating a trip to the hospital but, fingers crossed, I don’t feel too bad apart from a lack of sleep.
I cooked a small plate of bacon and scrambled eggs when I got home and ate an orange. I’m trying to stay away from bread and spreads - anything too calorific as I’m still a bit overweight.
Walking will help with that, though, if I only could get out a bit more. It was raining on the way back, just a few spots so I didn’t really need the umbrella I’d forgotten to bring.
Oh, and I got my iPhone case - forest green in colour. It’s much slimmer than the other one on what is already a bulky phone. It feels much better in my pocket now.
I wandered around the men’s section of John Lewis but didn’t buy anything. I was tempted by a jacket but it was £225, one of their designer ones and I wouldn’t pay that much for a jacket, anyway. It’s time I went back to charity shops in search of a bargain.
Glad you are feeling better Dreamy, you seem quite upbeat now.
Long may it continue. x
Woke up at 11. I’ve developed a habit of not sleeping well one night and oversleeping the next.
Oh well at least you are sleeping Dreamy.
Yesterday I woke up at 7 after a 9 hour sleep. By 10am I was so tired that I went back to bed and slept until 6pm. Then I went back to bed at 10 and slept through until 4am.
I’ve been up since then, I have a nurses appointment at 11:40.
Dreamy I was starting to worry about you.
Thanks for updating.
You obviously need the sleep.
Take care, and I am glad you are OK.
So today I have 2 appointments. First, a G.P. appointment at 10:30; secondly, a hospital appointment at 3:00 for an injection into my stomach.
I’m glad I managed to sleep well - too often I’ve slept badly the night before anything.
Glad you are sleeping well Dreamy.
Keep us posted.
Good luck for today.
Well, that took much longer than expected.
I wasn’t seen until 3:30 then had to take a Piriton and 2 Paracetamol. I then had to wait 45 minutes until the nurse began injecting the drug into my stomach. This took around another 15 minutes.
I couldn’t see any taxis so got a bus that took me into the city centre. I then walked home from there. I’m exhausted now.
At least you are home now Dreamy.
You just pushed yourself too far today. X
Yes, I should sleep well, a 2 mile walk during rush hour. There was no way I was going to get a taxi back as it would have been double the normal cost at least.
And I’ve proved to myself that I can walk longer distances without being too fatigued.
Don’t push yourself too much Dreamy.
Good Night my lovely. X
Had a walk up to John Lewis and back; I didn’t buy anything but got my exercise for today. I was out of breath when I got there but it is all uphill.
I’ve decided to make sure I get out each day for at least a 30 minute walk as I hadn’t been doing this; now my fatigue isn’t so bad the further away I am from the chemo but I’ll stop and rest for a while if I become tired.
Also, I’m only going to eat fruit until my evening meal. I’m a Stone too heavy and want to lose this.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the weight Dreamy. Glad you are able to get out and about. I am a little down at the moment, so I will just say - Take care. x
I haven’t done much today. I awoke at 11am still tired so went back to bed at around 2 but I couldn’t sleep so listened to podcasts instead. Have just got up again.
Nothing wrong in that Dreamy. Just let your body dictate to you.
It seems to waver between my feeling fine and having lots of energy to days when I’m completely knackered not long after getting up.
I think it’s down to the chemo as I’ve nothing else to complain about except a sore back sometimes.
You are doing fine Dreamy.
After all, chemo is poison.
