Day 13 after chemo 2

Day 13 after Chemo 2, Wed 17th Feb. I thought by now I was on the home stretch of recovery and wouldn’t need to do daily updates until next chemo dose; think again. Climbed into bed last night so tired I thought I could sleep until midday the next day even. Nope, bone pain and muscle cramping galore! I eventually staggered out and took a long acting pain reliever (pity it’s a pill and not alcohol) and after about an hour got a fitful nights sleep as I had menopausal hot flushes just to make things more interesting. Covers on, covers off, covers off, and covers on. I woke to a hang over head ache and bones that cracked when I walked like an old woman. Panadol to the rescue and I am feeling half alive now but I dropped out of walking the dogs this morning. I should be ok by this afternoon for their sunset walk.

  • Oh, just when you think it's safe to relax....bugger!

    I learned along time ago to just take the darn pills! and even preached it to my dad and M.I.L...don't let pain get the better of you, it takes so much longer for them to work...

    Rest up lovey and hopefully you'll get to do your sunset walk...
