Today has been pretty much as yesterday. On the 10th they found my fluid level was low due to the diarrhea, so they were so kind and sling up a 10 hour saline drip after visiting hours. So today I woke up with that still running after a poor night's sleep. Not easy to sleep when hooked up to a drip - no comments along the lines of a drip for a drip - and having to make dashes (not so much a dash, more a hobble!) to the loo with a drip stand in toe.
This was topped of during the day with a two hour saline drip with potassium in it as my potassium levels were below par.
The rest of the day was spent on the loo run resulting in me having a very sore rear end. I shall be so glad when the test results return and prove the problem is a result of the chemo. We can then at last start treatment and I may then get some decent sleep.
Appetite is decreasing but I am still managing a good breakfast and an ice cream for tea!!
As I am very, very tired last thing at night (8:00 pm in my books) I have taken to writing this blog the following morning when I am at least half a wake.
Thanks very much to you all for posting comments as I fined them really helpful and uplifting.
A great big thanks to all of you praying for me.
Glad to hear all is going to plan. Ice cream sounds good but you mind that tooth! Will keep praying that your journey remains plain sailing and that the toileting becomes less frequent very soon.
ReplyDeleteReally John there has to be a limit to how much time one can spend in the throne room! Unless they are praying for you ofcourse!:-) Reading your blog sure puts a new perspective on binding & losing!!!
ReplyDeleteHang on in there bro' - we're all keeping the prayers going up for you.
Hugs Joy & Jona
Kept having to skip the bathroom narrative John old boy, as I am not able to deal with that level of detail. Despite self editing your blog due to a personality defect,we are thinking of you and wishing you the fortitude to handle each day at a time. Lots of love Caroline and Paul xx
