The morning after chemo 3

It's just gone four in the morning and I'm having a post-chemo wakeful moment. The day went fine yesterday. Cliff took me for the first time and Naomi came along with him. I was concerned that it would bother them since neither of them like hospitals but they seemed to cope alright. I was more strongly affected by the drugs this time and became very tired almost immediately. That meant that they had very little conversation out of me and what they did have didn't make a lot of sense. We managed to get there quite early and so I started on the chemo just after 10 and was on the way home by 2:10.

I haven't written for a few days because life has been so hectic and I've been trying to rest up in anticipation of yesterday's treatment. Both Naomi and James, and my friend Melanie from Kansas City arrived on Boxing Day. We also had a visit that day from another friend, Bernard and from Emma and Mike. It was quite a full house!

More later. I'm going to try and go back to sleep now!

1pm

Yes, I did sleep but not for long. In fact I'm already to try and sleep again. I've continued to feel sick but I haven't thrown up. Thank Heavens! Melanie has already left for Germany and Naomi has just gone for the train back to Swansea. We are on our own again! At this moment I am typing and trying to watch an Australian film called Australian Rules. (4pm: I didn't finish it. I wasn't really into boy coming of age movies. Maybe later.)
