Night Howls

All fun and games last night. Went to bed at midnight, since it was so hot. At 1.30 am Les wakes me up and says get up, we got another one! I stagger out in my singlet and undies to the front veranda where hubby has the light on and gets me to catch a 5ft python which had come over the rail searching to eat poor Arnie bird inside the house. Snakes are tricky to get all of their length in the bag so while I held the head and most of the body in the bag I was telling hubby to 'put it in, put it in'. Mission accomplished, snake caught and taken for a beach walk up to the wet lands. Not sure what our neighbors must think of our nocturnal activity.

hahaha Glad he got it in!! Not sure I could do that Brenda!! You are a real GEM!
I had a sort of 'twilight night' last night - didn't really sleep at all .... just dozed! Very annoying. Yawning a bit now! Quite a bit!1 -
Awake four times, twice from hot flushes, once at 0445 by daughter leaving for camp and once by an incorrect alarm which I've now fixed...0

@Brenda5 You know how to have dramatic nights!
We had a power blackout here last night from about 8:30 until nearly 11 pm. Candles and lamp out. It was stinking hot. I put iced water-soaked washer on the back of my neck and ice packs on my aching knee and ankle. That helped cool me a bit, without fans or aircon. No wifi of course and I didn't want to use data on 4G so it was a matter of just sit and think. Of course a lot of that thinking was about my appointment today with the surgeon, to have re-inflation of expander after radiation - and all the questions I have to ask. I'm anxious about that because last time all I got was "We'll just have to wait and see. You need to be patient." GGRRRR.
I eventually slept but had another nightmare - which is becoming a regular occurrence.

Look, at the risk of repeating myself and boring the socks off everyone, I'm here to have a rant/vent.
I'm farking PISSED OFF. As it's after midnight, today is the one year anniversary of my diagnosis. I'm lying here starkers with the doona off, sweat gathering in every crease, because I'm having the fourth nuclear grade hot flush of the last ninety minutes. I've had to take a Targin to cope with the pain in my joints, I've sprayed magnesium on my ankles, swallowed a glass full of fibre additive to help with the cholesterol raising properties of the AI, and in front of me is a night of repeated waking and probably bad dreams. GARRGHH!
A year and a day ago I had NO pain except a sore lower back from a bulging disc caused by a big baby. And I managed that pretty well with regular walking.
It's been a derailing disaster of a year. Another one. I dread what the next year will bring.
I know, I know, I'm alive, healthy (though it doesn't bloody feel like it), clothed, housed and fed. But bloody hell I'm pissed off. I'm in permanent pain, depressed and anxious. And tonight I'm very cross and grumpy about it. F**k cancer!
Goodnight and I hope you sleep well. Hurrrumph...0 -
I hear you kmakm, Tonight I'm angry at Fracking Cancer . Lost one this morning and another told Chemo aint working no more ! Today Tuesday need to put on my happy face As I host the local BC Support Group Christmas Luncheon. Instead I want to punch the stuffing out of Cancer. All I want for Christmas ~ Is a Cure or vaccine to Stop Cancer! Maybe a vaccine to return to Pre chemo health. No Aches No Hot flushes, and denial of our mortality. May a cool wind bring peace and sleep. Soldier crab

@kmakm and @SoldierCrab I wish I could give you both a hug. Not that it would make any difference. Cancer is shit!! It fucks with our bodies and our minds, as do the treatments for it. My condolences soldiercrab, on the death of your friend.0
