I have taken some pictures of my bed and the view (I have another window bed) but I can't get them to upload so it'll have to wait until I get home and have access to tech-savvy daughter.
So the chemo started after lunch and will finish at 2:30pm tomorrow. It's a violent yellow colour - looks pretty toxic. So far no ill effects other than the constant trotting to the loo occasioned by the fluids that I am getting - 1 ltr/4 hours mixed with sodium bicarb to keep the blood alkaline. I had a couple of visitors around lunchtime (thanks Tony & Avril and Kate) and spent the afternoon reading. Sadly I have lost the ability to catnap, so the prospect of being disturbed at 10pm, 2am and 6am for observations and 8:30pm, 12:30pm and 4:30pm to have the fluids changed doesn't especially appeal. I will appreciate my own bed when I get home!
The staff on D6 all remember me (good or bad thing?) and it is lovely to see the familiar faces. As usual I am very grateful to be relatively well on the whole - other people are not. Bless you all for the support I feel flowing from you.
