Round 3 - Day 4 - Home
It's great to wake up in your own bed - without anyone trying to take your blood pressure three seconds after waking up and wondering why it's lower than normal !
Had a good nights sleep - the default requirement to pee every so often is almost default now - I remember getting up at least 4 times but feel OK. The inevitable chemo blockage is still in place - but senna tablets were taken a day earlier this time round - so hoping that will sort itself out soon. It's bad enough being full of chemo and fluids without anything else !
Lewis went to work early with Dave to earn himself some cash and Nat went to work, so Ollie was home with me. Gaming day for Ollie on the TV downstairs, surround sound to the max - he loved it. I however fell asleep next to him on the sofa, tiredness is mad!
We went collect Lewis at lunchtime and picked up my umbrella from The Famous Green Man in Ewell village. Perfect sun protection for the summer - thanks John - top man.
Grabbed a sarnie on the way home and Lewis did some homework / revision and Ollie returned to his gaming after doing some reading. I had a lie down upstairs - hour and a half later, I'm awake! Clearly a tired day.
However, it put me in good stead for this evening, dinner with Alan, Justine, Harry and Joe in Guildford to celebrate Alan's birthday last week. They have just flown back into Gatwick from holiday so instead of the originally planned (before my diagnosis) Derby Day visit tomorrow - we met for dinner before they head home tomorrow. We will rearrange Derby Day for next year!
Was lovely to see them all and we are meeting up tomorrow morning at airhop for the boys to wear themselves out before they head home.
I'm now tired so it's off to bed. Mission accomplished, dinner out, red meat, green veggies to help boost the blood cells and a cheeky glass of wine.
Not going to be beaten. Happy Birthday for last week Al xx
