Today I just did not want to wake up, I slept till 9 I think and only because thats when they brought my breakfast in. I was totally wiped out, I slept all night and I had fatigue. The I CBF to even roll over or pick up my phone fatigue. My right leg and arm (which is affected from the MS) were aching and weird and I was feeling it today. Eventually I made myself move and ate my breaky, and was hooked up for my final day of chemo therapy! I managed to get the kids at a good time and Dom layed there looking and smiling at me for the first few minutes which was lovely, but then as siblings do they started to annoy one another and they were off playing again.

I finished my insfusion laying down and resting as I was really feeling zapped of all my energy. I am surprised that I didn’t feel anything until now, but I am definitely not complaining. They give you a shot of a blood thinner after the chemo which is leaving some nice marks on my tummy, (sorry not attractive I know) but at least I wasnt reacting to it like Joe did when he was on the thinners he had welts.

I needed to ask for pain killers for kidney pain today, I could feel the chemo going through and it was uncomfortable enough to request some, not excruciating but about a 3 or 4 on the scale of 10. I also felt nauseous with it so some paracetamol I think and a little lie down. It soon passed and lunch was here however I didn’t eat anything as I wasn’t feeling up to it and was a bit green around the gills.

Lucy and David came up for the arvo so I could say goodbye to David as he is off back home tomorrow. When it was time for my 5pm infusion the nurse made me go back in my room to have it, lucky its only a 5 minute thing and I was back out able to say goodbye before dinner. It was a pleasure to meet you David, take care.

Dinner didn’t smell all that great but it tasted ok and I managed to eat it. It was just some vegetable stew thing a bit bland but it hit the spot. I opened a pack of shortbread creams for dessert which are usually my favorites, but they just didnt taste the same. Very disappointing lol. I had the 9pm infusion and it was another early night for me!
