Last night was a poor night for sleep and I have no idea why. Just one of those things I guess. I do hope for a better night to night, but maybe not - read on.
Today has been a hectic day. It started at 6:15 am with the introduction of chemo tablets and supportive drugs. There are a total of 8 tablets that I get every 6 hours, so that's 6 am, midday, 6 pm and midnight. Now tie that in with ops every 4 hours at 6, 10, 2 and 6 and you can see that getting any large amounts of uninterrupted sleep is going to be somewhat difficult.

7:15 am I started 2 units of blood which finished around 10:30 am. This was followed by a 30 min chemo, flush, 3 hour chemo and flush which was completed at around 3 pm. Then a dash down to Costa for a coffee with the family.
Add to this the doctor's round, the consultant's round, visit by sister, bed clothing all changed and bed remade along with room clean and man to check the water in the bathroom it has definitely not been a quiet morning!!!!!
My tablet count is now up to 38 and some are definitely of horse pill size. [No chance Mary would swallow them regards of how long she tried for]
The chemo is now doing its job, counts are dropping hence the blood transfusion and I am feeling more tired. I think only one or two more days of escaping to the food court!!!!

What a hectic day?! No chance of getting bored then? It was great to see you last night in your palatial suite - very impressive indeed! So much for a good night's sleep then........... ? Hope you get a better sleep tonight or even some shut-eye during the day tomorrow - that will be our prayer for you tonight. Take care - God bless love Val & Dave x x
ReplyDeleteHi John - Tizzy is doing a great secretaial job! Wonder how you slept last night? I was awake having a cup of tea & saying a prayer for you at some siily o'clock hour of the morning like 4am. How good it is that God never slumbers or sleeps and watches over us night & day & pokes us to pray for each other in the night too.
ReplyDeleteHang in there bro'- we are all holding you in our prayers. Hugs Joy
Hi John
ReplyDeleteI thought you should know that your wife tried to remove the water cooler from the school staff room today - because it was bleeping - and dump it in my office. The plan fell apart when she and her Accomplice realised it was connected to the water system and plumbed in. What am I to do with her? lol! Hope you are ok although I hear the tiredness is creeping on now - keep positive - it is temporary and will get you where you need to be - full health & strength. Keeping you in prayers and thoughts. love Val & Dave x x
