Hello! Tuesday came along and I done all the usual up for breakfast and started to have my shower when, bloop clump of hair, bloop... another clump of hair, bloop bloop, more so as I looked down into the bath, it was covered in hair and there was no way I was going to let it all go down the drain and block it up, plus I hadn't even washed it with the shampoo yet. So I washed the rest of me and tried to tidy up the bathroom a bit with all the hair lying about. Finally got that sorted to a decent state and went in to the wooden floor room to shave the head. But with the damp hair and the fairly old shaver it didn't make it easy, got there in the end though and any longer bits that I missed I could just easily pull out.
Plans had been made that evening for a leaving party for a girl in work at the Limelight, so I wanted to get down early as I wasn't going to be staying long, or at least planned not to, but when I got there to go into Katy's the queue was already near round the corner, there was no chance I was going to be standing around for an hour with all these kids, so I phoned one of them to let them know I wasn't going to be there and turned to head back home. Quite pleased I did in the end, although I was really looking forward to meeting up with the work ones again and Claire who is going away.
Got the bus home but instead of going home I went for a bit of a walk. The walk was great it was nice and quiet, not much traffic and passed only the odd person, think I'll go for move evening walks. Even passed the bus stop I fell asleep at before.
Wednesday morning when I was opening up the blinds, in the garden was our wee robin, first time I've seen him for this winter and will see him a lot more in the months to come. Today I decided to walk into town and on the way had a relaxing seat behind the waterfront beside some guy drinking his cider, but there were lots of people walking past which was a bit crappy ruined the atmosphere of the river and birds. Finally got up and went on into town and had a look around, wasn't after anything, was more just to get out of the house for a bit than anything. In the evening I started feeling a bit rougher, legs sore and just a little cold and feeling sore, but after the couple weeks I've had I can't complain and had to wear my neck warmer to keep my head warm when I was in bed that night.
Can you find the robin?
Next morning, Thursday, was something similar to how I was feeling the night before, legs seemed very clonky and sore and just generally felt as if I couldn't be bothered getting out of second gear, which I didn't seem to do at all, all day. Went down to Consy to get something or to look for something, but when I got there I didn't have a clue why, I got there and just ended up going shop to shop and never remembered and even now I can't remember, I think it may have been to check the prices of a couple of things in game, but I'm not certain about that.
In the Evening I met up with a friend for some coffee, but I've been off coffee, or at least really cut down on coffee since last October and have only had a hand full of coffees since then, was nice having a chat face to face rather than just over the computer, would be nice to do it on a regular basis but people have busy schedules and I'm me.
I was going to watch a film in the Insyplex but wasn't sure which film to watch, the choices where; Lost in Translation, Requiem for a Dream and Scream. I went for Requiem for a Dream as I haven't seen it before, it was a great choice, the film was incredible, it flowed a little slowly towards the start and I was wondering when it was really going to start then BOOM!! all this mental shit starts happening, not a show for everyone but I thought it was great. After the film I got the films sorted for tomorrow in hospital as I was going in for chemo.
Well then... what's orange? If this is red, I wanna know, What's orange?
Friday morning bright, or more dark and early, and an early trip over to hospital for my check up first of all. Got seen to pretty fast or maybe that was because I fell asleep, but there didn't seem to be many people up today. All the counts were very good, platelets still up nice and high, or normal for most, at about 369 white and red blood cells were also at good levels too. I had to remind him about the antisickness tablet and that I had to change it to another one as the one I'm on seems to make me sick rather than clearing it up. But when I went to get the tablets from the nurse she had the antisickness tablet there for me, but I didn't want to take it and went on out for lunch. But only a few minutes later I got a call about getting another antisickness tablet so I just went back and took that.
I just remembered what I went to consy for; it was to check out the price of FIFA 14.
Finally out and had a couple of hours to pass, so I went down into town and had a small fry in Boogaloo, It was nice, a little pricey but worth every penny, the bacon was especially tasty a strong flavour off it. But as I finished the fry and was drinking my latte, two in two days! I started to get a bit... stoned, this was either from the antisickness tablet or the fry, walking through town was interesting as my eyes felt like the size of, something really big and couldn't focus on anything so trying to look at things in the shops was interesting. I even had to sit down for a while to try and take the edge off it a bit, but while I was on my phone I checked the prices of FIFA and seen that you could get it for £16 on the PS2 so I added it to my basket but couldn't remember my password so I couldn't order it. Got back to hospital and had a seat in the treatment room, chemo wasn't ready yet but there was plenty of room for me. Then i went onto the kindle and FIFA14 was still in the basket for £15.99 so bought it, the price had went up to £20 if I was to add it again, so hopefully I will get this tomorrow so I can play that in the Insyplex.
Finally the chemo came and got that all done and got more out of it with the piriton, so by this stage I basically wasn't capable of thinking, everything went through ok and no problems. After I was done I phoned my dad for a lift home, he seemed a bit surprised that I did phone as last time I just walked home, but everyone seemed a bit pissed off with me for that.
Was feeling pretty good apart from the drowsiness, but I know I'm not feeling too great, I just don't realise it at the minute. Later in the day I was just sitting watching the Ulster match and was just gradually feeling a little more rougher and rougher as the day went on. After the match was over I went up to watch a film in the Insyplex and today was Lost in Translation, great show, think it was ten years ago when I last seen it, the night I had a mole removed on my back and I remember sneezing and it ripping open a little, vaguely remember watching dodge ball afterwards that day. Was the perfect show to watch for the mood I was in, just very tired and lethargic, dropped my phone at one stage and it took half an hour to be bothered reaching down to pick it up. After went and took my tablets and went to bed. Woke up at about 4.30 and wasn't feeling great quite rough and very nauseous, but lay on to try and get back to sleep again, but then my mouth done it's watering thing with a different texture as to normal saliva so I ran to the loo and got there just on time to throw up, felt much better after that though and went up to sleep again and that was me until morning.
Think the main problems were that I ate so much yesterday, I normally have a small appetite but I ate what a normal person would yesterday and I don't think I had enough fluids in fact I basically didn't have any!! So I must increase that on Saturday.
Saturday so far I got up had breakfast and took my tablets and they have whiped me out again, at least this time I was expecting it so I can't complain too much, I have a week of these ones too... think I might just use all of them ^^,
