The weather suits my mood this morning. A bit dreary and tired, not sunny, not stormy, just plodding on. As I learned the first time round, days 5 through 7 are the low point, and so they remain. Different this time in a few minor ways but generally just something to get through as I…

Blood test results were fine so dose 2 is going ahead on schedule. It’s been solidly pouring with rain all morning but we drove slow and arrived safe. No trouble with veins today, got it right first try, helped by a few days of extra hydration in preparation. The sun has now come out here…

It’s been a week now since I posted about taste, and I’m happy to say that my tastes have returned almost to normal. Granted I’m going to ruin that again on Tuesday, but the worst of it really only lasted a couple of days and then gradually improved so every day is different. Speaking of…

There’s a stereotype that pregnancy causes all women to experience weird food cravings. That was never my experience, I had no cravings with either pregnancy, but with my first I did experience intolerances. Jut the thought of red meat while making a shopping list could leave me queasy, and I could smell salt at a…

Ask me yesterday and I would have been quite dubious about how much work I would achieve today, but overall I’m pleased. I got in 6 hours, which I think is respectable. Not that it was easy; the task I wanted to do would have been straightforward except the website I was relying on has…

It’s Day 5 and I’d hoped to start feeling better now I’m past the days of extra medication, but it seems that’s backwards: I’m guessing now they were actually cushioning me a bit. In news that will be no surprise to anyone, this isn’t fun. My taste buds went on holiday in time for dinner…

3 medications, 2 sunburnt cheeks, and 4 hours of insomnia. Day 3 is proving rougher than day 2. Yesterday I worked a little in the morning then needed a rest. I would then have been fine to go back to work for a bit but it was getting too close to my district nurse appointment…

That’s one less dose to do! We arrived just after 9 for the 9:30 appointment so in plenty of time. The staff were all very welcoming and soon I was in a comfortable chair with my crochet and a fresh cup of tea. Then the waiting started. First the oncologist wanted an ECG done and…

It’s officially winter now but our garden doesn’t seem to care. I already posted photos of the hibiscus, so here are some of the other flowers popping up. I don’t know what they are, generally, other than pretty. I’ve captioned the ones I do know. As for fruit, well our couple of surviving cherimoya are…
