Friday 18 December - a day to be quiet

The chemo finished last night and I am now taking the folinic acid which should clear the rest of it out of my system.  they do blood tests twice a day to check the levels of the drug in my system.  It has to get below a certain level before they can let me home.  I am still being pumped full of fluids to help with the chemo clear out.
As last time, I have been feeling rather queasy and slow today.  I had a visitor and a phone call but have otherwise been quite quiet and snoozed a fair bit.  I brought in the Lord of the Rings films to watch - excellent for hospital as they are so long! - so will watch the 3rd one later.
I continue to admire all the hospital staff who keep the place running and remain cheerful and helpful even when things are difficult.
