Anaesthetic Wednesday

In keeping with my current tradition of anaesthetics on a Wednesday I will now be having a Port a inserted tomorrow, and chemo Thursday. This better be the last reschedule or I may be forced to go postal somewhere!

  • Oh sorry to hear that.  Not something I have gone through but my cannula hurt me today but sure not as bad as yours did.  Hopefully my veins hold out for my more.  You will be so grateful for the port a cath from what I gather from other girls.  Hope you nurturing yourself tonight :-(

  • Oh, me too! For a normally (somewhat ;) brave person, I turn into a trembling jelly at any thought of dentistry.

  • Hey Dan

    You are a real masochist but honest truth it is something we should all do before we start chemo.  I thought about it but it was all too hard to organise being in the country etc. so didn't happen and I am paying for it now.  My teeth are not travelling as well as expected, surprise surprise.  Not saying that a scale and clean would have solved my problems but they may have seen where the chips and cracks were forming and filled them  prior to chemo but now I have to wait till this chemo stuff is over and then maybe get it organised.  Do you know if you can visit dentist and have treatment while you having raditotherapy?

    At least your smile will be even brighter now hee hee

    Have you had Dex like me???, is that why you not sleeping or just too much going on for you to sleep properly at present.  I am buzzing.

  • It is so frustrating when things don't happen when they are supposed to isn't it?  We have been renovating and waiting for tradespeople over the last 6 weeks - Now all finished thank goodness!!!!  I had to work on the theory "It will happen - and it did"  So fortunately it will happen for you too.  Patience is something we all learn on this journey.  Best wishes to you.
