Feeling good ish

After two days of Tiny Talk classes I feel tired, of course, but great!  It has definitely been the right decision to continue this term.  As one of my lovely Tiny Talk Mums said today, it's such a positive, upbeat environment that you can't not be happy.  What's not to love about being surrounded by cute babies and toddlers?  It keeps me feeling like I'm still living my life not having it on hold.

I'm not dwelling on Friday as much as I did the last two cycles, in fact I keep forgetting its this week...must remember to go to my pre-chemo on Thursday!

I had an interesting experience at the eye clinic yesterday.  I had been referred due to the pain on my left side,primarily behind my eye and also for my watery eyes which was probably due to blocked tear ducts. Obviously since the referral the pain as been put down to inflammation of the trigeminal nerve but I wanted to just have my eyes checked anyway.  The good news is all looked healthy inside my eye.  I then had needles poked into my tear ducts to try to flush them out.   Yes, it was as yucky as it sounds, not painful as I had anaesthetic drops put in first, but just not a great experience!  Unfortunately the conclusion was that my ducts are too small......could be naturally that way or dried up and shrunken due to chemo.  But it was not possible to flush them out.  I could go back and have them enlarged under local anaesthetic, but you won't be surprised to hear I decided against this!  I could do without yet another afternoon in hospital and have enough needles poking into me without some in my eyes!!  I'll just put up with slightly sore and sometimes watery eyes for now!

Job for tomorrow is to do my tax return - always the procrastinator, I could have done it six months ago but I always do it at the end of January when it is due.  I have to be slightly more organised than normal since I may not feel well enough the next two weeks to do it!
