Jodie ! :)

Unless I can't stay awake, my brain decides to go on holidays or I'm carrying a brown paper bag, I will be going to work.  I need the constants in my life to continue.  I am just getting my books for uni at the moment.  I'm going to have to work my assignments around the down weeks (the week after each treatment) and the multiple medical appointments.

On a bright note, today I went to my hairdresser.  He is young, 20, and I wasn't sure whether he would want to shave my hair off when it starts to fall out.  I asked him and he said yes of course.  So there you go, you can't judge a person's character and not ask the question.  He and I had a giggle about certain things pertaining to hairlessness and I told him that in the future I would drop my wig in to him for a wash, cut and set and collect it after I had done my shopping.  :P 

We can do this.  The long days I'm doing at the moment are fine but the bras, even though they are light and stretchy, become a bit tedious by the end of the day.  I wore one for far too long today, from 8am to 7.30pm.  I could hardly breathe by then.

good morning Jodie,

hope you are feeling a little better today.

As for working, I did work through chemo, (desk job)  I usually had about a week off afer each chemo session.   Not sick, but the fatigue would get me,..and sometimes "chemo brain".    .  Like the other lovelies have mentioned, I had the hand sanitiser in my bag, (waterless one), and I had the antibacterial wipes on me at all times.  I was really aware of infection, and tried to stay away from where there were lots of people.  I did fly to Melbourne 6 days after my first chemo session. (it was pre arranged) for the tennis.  You will know if you are up to work, again, just go with the flow.....and be kind to your self.........:)

Jodie :)  How are you feeling this morning?  I'm hoping you're a lot better and ready to kick that infection?  I thought I was going into shock or infection or something yesterday as well.  I kept getting hot, then cool, then hot again.  Turns out the air conditioning where I was was being worked on  lol.  The workmen kept turning it on and off  hehehehe....  and here I was getting all worried about myself.

I agree with whomever said disinfectant wipes however I would just carry some of that hand cleaning lotion and use it at every opportunity.  Isn't it interesting to read some of the posts?  I now know that I'm not going to be wonderful in the week after chemo.  I can cope with that now that I know and work around it.  As long as my head is in the right place, I'll lie on a bed for a week with a laptop if necessary.

Go and buy something online today even if it is something tiny and ridiculous.  1. you don't have to go out with germy people 2. you'll have something to look forward to when it arrives 3. most of the fun is in the looking anyway.

Cas (thinking of you) Huge hugs (no germs) XX
