Who else can't sleep?

@JJ70 that is Bl**dy awesome so nice when we get to do that 

OMG...last night I slept right through from 10pm-6am. WTF?? Can't believe it....so nice. Sorry...I am trying not to gloat. :p

Chemo is a good reason for procrastination!

@sister I bet they enjoyed it though!

Still in bed. Procrastinating. Chemo at 9am...

You have to be careful with melatonin too as your body stops producing it when it is taken as a supplement :( I was awake 5 times last night ,its driving me crazy. I want to get back into mindfulness and am going to try some specific sleep inducing yoga moves. Nameste.

We had some strong discussions about it.  She absolutely wanted a sleepover so it was limited to 2 friends (one of whom I knew would be no trouble) and they're going home this morning on the school run (they've got a student free day).  I told my daughter that I could not do a full day after as I don't have that sort of energy.  And it was a last minute decision to do it based on how I was feeling.  Given that her actual birthday falls right in the yuk zone, I'm relieved to have it done.  My other daughter is still waiting to have her new high school friends over for hers which was a couple of weeks ago.  But at least we did her 2 best primary school friends - Sunday brunch at the Pancake Kitchen - so sophisticated!

Woke repeatedly through the night of course but was disciplined and turned over to try to get back to sleep without picking up my phone.

Oh you are brave @sister! I've found the longer chemo has gone, the less I've been able to do. My daughter turned 15 a couple of weeks ago and asked to have a party & sleepover this coming weekend. I'll be at the lowest point with killer fatigue & bone ache on Saturday so said no. She was so disappointed that I began to reconsider but my husband jumped in fast with absolutely not, bless him.

Sounds like you've been busy @kmakm - choc mint biscuits...yummmm.  Hope you've gotten some good sleep and that the reflux and nausea remain contained.
I, on the other hand, have been awake since 2:15am.  My youngest (about to turn 12) has had a couple of friends over for a low-key early birthday sleepover as I will be in the dark depths of chemo hell when it is actually her birthday.  I made the mistake of thinking that I was fit enough due to my morning walks, to supervise a similar length hike through the forest next to us then back down through our place.  It's mountain goat country around here.  One particularly steep part, I was sure I was going to be sick.  Took hours and Ativan to feel human again... Fortunately, my husband entertained them with the little motorbike after tea so I could recover my equilibrium a bit.

I've taken two Temazepam. Eyelids heavy... See you on the flip side.

Not too sick this time with the Dex, just a bit nauseous & refluxy. Oh those burps... Made the most of my last energiser bunny day. Walked 5kms (first time this cycle), did laundry, two trips to the supermarket, baked mint choc chip biscuits to thank the chemo nurses tomorrow and even did the washing up for the first time in weeks. Now, if only I could sleep...
