Grateful List

So I have been hanging out in chemo land for a few days now. There are somethings that I am very grateful for:

• Robinson's Peach Squash. It is not as acidic. I have been able to drink it. Yey.
• Gnocchi. Those potato nuggets meant I could diverge from toast and cornflakes.
• Cadbury's Chocolate Buttons. I know we aren't supposed to buy Cadbury's any more now it has gone yank, but I am allowed concession's in my state. And mid afternoon that little bit of chocolate has kept me on.
• Ann and her anti sickness drugs. Upped and upped. Nausea still present but not been sick once. This helped massively with hydration.
• It is the Tuesday after the Thursday before and I made it out of the house this morning. First time out in under a week post chemo. Even to lay on my mat in my class... paid for it later with an afternoon in bed but was worth it to get out.
• Food deliveries tastic for Jonny. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
• Jon calling me from work yesterday to suggest a 3 day spa weekend over the Easter weekend. And then coming home and booking the entire thing. The rest and change of scene for both of us is much needed.
• Love.

So it is no laugh a minute, not by a long shot, but it has been better than last time. And the not so nice stuff is private and not for blog world.

So I will sit here and dream of my Easter mini break. I'm sure Bridget has a great line on that one. But my chemo brain can't remember what it is.

Sleepy Head

I have spent most of today asleep. Can't really remember anything else or what I did yesterday.

We have had lots of nursing support which has been great. Had no idea it was available. But have had two phone calls from the community matrons today as well as the visit from the my hospice nurse, I mean Ann, yesterday. So having felt very lost at weekends and generally a few weeks ago, we do feel a lot more supported. And we are very grateful.

In my waking hours this evening I am alarmed by the amount of rugby on the TV. I have done well over the years to learn about football I think. But rugby I struggle. I know that won't be a popular call but just the way I am.

How long until Wimbledon is on until I can get my own back?
