Sitting here at 4:15am (CST) after trying since 2:30am to go back to sleep and finally giving up, yet again... Wondering who else is out there this morning, and most mornings at this time?
My exercise class finishes with 15 minutes of mindfulness meditation. Yesterday, we'd only got as far as thinking about our breathing and one of the ladies behind me started snoring and continued for most of the session. I bet she lays awake at 2am or 4am - at least she got a few zzzzs at the class.
@Finch - I only take Dex and and then they give me my anti nausea drugs through the drip. I have some to take at home if I need it but haven’t really had to. I’m trying to keep myself motivated as I know I probably won’t do much from Thursday onwards. I’m off to work Tuesday and Wednesday so hwve to take my extra pill bag with all my anti nausea, pain relief and thermometer. Luckily the bone pain from my white blood cell injection doesn’t start kicking in till Wednesday night. Stay curled up while u can probably much colder down there.
I'm 10, but I don't have my anti nausea medication .I'll call the oncology ward after 8 and see if I can get it and take it as soon as I arrive. I've done pretty well so far with chemo 1&2 and don't want to compromise chemo 3. Youre making me feel lazy @"Kiwi Angel" I'm still lying here in the dark. Im reminding myself I'm resting my body and can take it easy today in the recliner . I hope to do some shopping chores on the way home but expect the steroids to still be doing there thing so I'll be marching around Bunnings and the supermarket :) im not expecting much sleep until Tues night at the earliest.
That was me the first round @Finch, second round I slept ok - this time I dozed off around 11.30ish but tossed and turned all night. Maybe I should recline my chair st chemo and have a nap. @Sister that’s great. Normally I sleep pretty good when not on the Dex - I have yet to be hit by bad chemo induced hot flushes thank god. I’m just having a strong coffee and some peanut butter toast. It’s getting cooler here in Sydney too - 12 when I went for my walk but is supposed to get to 26 today. What times your appointment @Finch - I have to be there at 9.
