Wednesday. Had a very good nights sleep after the chemotherapy of yesterday. Trying to get to grips with all the drugs I need to take to relieve the side effects. I have two types to stop me being sick I take two 2mg tablets of Dexamethasone 3 times a day with food, this is a steroid which helps the other drug 10 mg of Metoclopramide Hydrochloride 1 tablet 3 times a day to work better plus my blood pressure tablet 5 mg of Amlodipine and finally 15mg gastro resistant capsules of Lansoprazol which has to be taken thirty to sixty minutes before eating breakfast, tricky one that. Had a good day and started cleaning and rubbing down the paint work on the windows above our garage door ready for re-painting managed to get two coats of primer on by the late afternoon/evening, 6 hours before a re-coat.
Thursday. Went to a prayer group in the morning up at Chrisie's. In the afternoon had to go back to SWRU to have my bottle pump taken off after 48 hours. I caught the train and only after I had got to Teddington did I realise that I had no money and no wallet with my travel card in it, would I get caught by the ticket collector how would I get out of Norbiton station without showing my card or swiping it to open the gate, luckily the gate was open when I got there so I just walked out and arranged for Wendy to come and collect me at the Hospital when I had finished. The removal went OK and and they did a clean up of the PICC line today to save me going in again the next day when it was due. We are on holiday next week back on Friday so I can have it cleaned then as it has to be done every week.
As we left we decided to go and have a quick look at the outside of the 2 bed ground floor flat that Paul and Nicola have made an offer on. The flat is in Hook and because of the traffic problems in Kingston it took a while to get there and by the time we had given it a look round we didn't get home 'till after 7 pm.
Friday. Quite a restful day after what seemed quite a hectic couple of days. Managed to get a top coat on the windows over the garage door, good idea as they are forecasting heavy rain on Saturday. Paul and Nicola came round to dinner and updated us on the flat they are buying they are quite pleased to have found somewhere so quickly and are hoping to move in before Christmas if all goes well. they left at about 8.15 pm to drive up to Lancaster for a wedding of one of Nicola's cousins on Sunday. Alison also came back from her break in Sheffield but missed them by about 10 minutes, the traffic is quite heavy now as it is a Bank Holidy weekend and everyone is going somewhere and everywhere.
Saturday. Woke up very late today after a very disturbed night when I kept waking up and couldn't get back to sleep - probably due to taking one of my drugs too late in the evening, anyway waking up at 5 past nine can't be that bad, except it makes breakfast a bit late. The weather man was right it has been a dreadful day pouring down with rain but still warm. We had to post a parcel to Roy so drove down to the Post Office, on our return it was raining so hard we stayed in the car for 10 minutes until the rain abated. Tomorrow we are off to Matlock in the Peak District for a short break so it might be a while before I can update the blog depends on Internet access mainly. Still raining outside what a wet day!! But thankfully I feel good just hope I get up earlier tomorrow fresh and ready for a 3 hour drive.
