It’s a day of 10 hours of treatment today. Time to expect more nausea and apparently an itchy anxious feeling. But currently feeling 200 times better than last night. Bring on the downloads, Vanity Fairs and BBC antiques programming. Just been hooked up and none of the itchy feeling yet. Maybe one side effect i’m not going to have. I’ve also had an increase in anti nausea drugs and some stuff to protect my stomach as a result. One of the pills matched the colour of my t-shirt perfectly. Yesterday the t-shirt matched the colour of the drip bag covering the ‘poison’. I feel a theme coming on. My first visitor has also just left. Slightly awkward but so good to have a little normality to proceedings. I have this nagging feeling that people will now look at me for signs of illness and then engage on the normal level. I don’t blame them for that at all. At the moment i’d hope that there is no noticeable difference but have to acknowledge in the weeks to come that this will not be the case. I’m a few hours into the treatment now and, fingers crossed, no itching or anxiety. I’ve also had time to set up this blog. Yesterday’s entry was typed randomly on my laptop in the middle of the night so I could just cut and paste. 8pm and the flush drip has come out, i’m unhooked and i’m done for the day. No itchy feeling. Yay. Day two ticked off already. Yay. Have been receiving the best texts and emails from family and friends. It all helps to keep me upbeat and reminds me that the normal world is carrying on out there. That includes a text from a friend with a picture of her office desk just in case I was starting to miss mine!
