Thurs 25th Feb day before 3rd chemo

Thursday, 25th Feb. Yesterday was a pretty good day although long. I got dropped off by Les at 8.30am to my sis and she dropped me down later on to the GP Dr and blood test and picked me up afterwards to have lunch with her and I hung out at her place until Les picked me up again to go home just after 3. GP wrote me a couple of scripts for this and that of chemo side affects. Nothing exciting just eye drops and ointment for any skin infections and a Targin pain killer renewal. The pathology nurse had a throat infection and no voice much and she pulled me out of the others waiting for tests as she knows I still have good veins and I am a quickie job. No problems at all and she still has the magic tough and I felt no pain.

Today my wonderful neighbours made their shopping day Thursday this week especially so they could run me in to town for my oncology and physio appointment and they even took me to Subway for lunch first. Yum! Oncology Dr said I am good to go for tomorrow 3rd round of chemo and my blood work this time is very good. My physio wasn’t so lovely. I have been given a lyphodema sleeve and gauntlet and the gauntlet part make doing things difficult as its my do everything hand. You can see I spilled my coffee already by the couple of drop on my shirt in the photo. I guess I will get used to it and she said at least a few hours a day it must stay on. I will wear my favourite shirt tomorrow (I have a new favourite) to my 3rd dose of chemo and get the nurse to take my photo during chemo 11.30am till 3 or 4pm.
