Despite trying to stay positive and enjoy this week of feeling well (other than said cold), I can't help feeling a sense of impending doom with Friday, and chemo 3, rapidly creeping upon me. Now I know what's ahead it's actually worse than not knowing. I can tell myself it may be easier, they won't ess up the medication this time and it might make a difference. But, I know deep down what is to come. It's only ten days of feeling rubbish, but it seems like a whole lot longer at the time. I am REALLY not good at being incapacitated....watching 'This morning' five days in a row actually depressed my so I'm sticking to DVDs this time. I can't read for the first few days, unfortunately, as the drugs mess with you brain and eyes and just about everything!
Anyway, must try to put next week to the back of my thoughts and enjoy this week. The Christmas tree as gone up. Isla was super excited and it was very cute.
Here is our massively over decorated tree!
And some Christmas love:
......and then some very special tanturms, it all just became too much for 7pm on a week night!
What about Audio books? This time next year, the Chemo will be a distant memory. Where is the ankle curl report?
ReplyDeleteDo you have ear defenders/ If so bring to the carol concert a week Monday.
Big Hug
Hadn't thought about audio books, good idea, would save me from the soul destroying daytime TV! No ankle curls but been working is week, each class is like a work out so I think I'm doing ok. Might not get a run in this week due to my cold but I'll be doing yoga Thursday night. Really looking forward to the carol concert, I'm sure ear defenders will not be necessary!
DeleteLove these pics. Sending all my love your way for chemo 3. Lx
ReplyDeleteIrene has got some good ideas, audio books would keep your mind busy while your body recovers. I wonder if you could get any rya books and you could learn your knots in your brain and then practice them when you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteDaytime tv has its own special way of unhinging you. When I broke my ankle and had enforced immobility Homes Under the Hammer etc etc nearly drove me stir crazy. I took up knitting and managed an Arran jumper for Hannah (to be worn around the house only due to certain design characteristics )
I'm in usa at the moment with my dad who isn't very well but I will be back for the Most Fabulous choir performance.....I will try to learn my words .....
After this chemo you will be half way there, the awful 10 long and miserable days and nights will pass and you will be back on black pearl before you know it
Bamboo hat delay, I have run out of yarn. Hope to complete by the weekend. Thinking of you over the next few days. Be strong. Susan
