So far it seems as though this round is following the same pattern as the first. Got home last night and had fish and chips, well a little fish with no batter and a few chips, nice and easy to eat. I had hiccups for nearly 2 hours after leaving the hospital, then awoke with indegestion and heartburn, plus a barking dog. This kept me up for nearly 2 hours, but this time there se no deep and meaningful posts fom me. I know they can give me something to help, so next visit I will make sure I take it. Awoke this morning and made the kids lunches, and theu have now left for school.
I have also learnt another lesson I should share, in case any of you have the misfortune to have chemo, which I truely hope you do not, and loose your hair. I think it will only apply to the men, but you never know. As your hair falls out the scalp gets quite sensitive, almost like sun burn. Well before i shaved my head, the longer hair protected the scal to a degree, especially when sleeping. As I have now shaved my head, it does not have his protection, so when lying down, if I move, then it can be quite sore, just a warning for ou all. I understand once its all out this will go away.
I expect i will be quite quiet on here for the next few days, do not worry, I will probably just be sleeping and recovering. Will try and do a short update when I feel up to it
Calamine lotion (for the itching), Aloe vera (for moisturising) and a nice hat (for cushioning/comediec genius).
ReplyDeletehey dene,take care and feel all the love and hugs around you ,and on the head front, dave`s self induced baldness has compltetely ruined our leather suite, because he leaves a head imprint on the leather wherever he sits,that even the nice technician from dfs cant do anything about,so if you are sitting on a leather chair, cover it or you up!!!!!xxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteSending wishes of strength and support on this next round, Dene. Loved your cycling post and that you recall the first time you saw your wife when you were both kids! ~ Aimee

ReplyDeleteDene,
ReplyDeletekeep your spirits up mate - these posts are superb. Glad to hear the good news re the recent tests. Hope you rest up and recover quickly from the Chemo.
Loved the cycling post - you'll have to explain these 'combine' things to me ;-)
Hope to see you back round the cricket pitch soon where I can buy you pint!
All the best
Steve R
Stick with it Dene, woolly hat perhaps - might not impress Sarah very much!
