Pain got worse yesterday, as did my blood pressure. The drugs they give you for pain tend to reduce bp so we got into a vicious circle. Eventually the pain, like red hot pokers in my belly, drove my bp up enough that they gave me 5mgs of morphine. That took the edge off but nothing more. So then they gave me 7.5mgs of morphine and that was fantastic! Haven't needed it since.
However my bp is still really low so a pathology team is about to come round to draw blood and see if it's a haemoglobin problem.
I'm desperate to get up and moving, get the catheter out, shower & use the loo. Depending on the blood tests a physio should be round to teach me how to move. All this should have happened yesterday. This low bp problem has been the bane of my existence since chemo started in January. Gargh!
Still, the foobs look good and I have a flat belly. All healing well on that front.
The wifi is excellent and the food's good here too. Brekkie. Smashed avo & fetta on sourdough:
