Final day as an in patient today.
I've seen the Olympic Torch go past on the Thames and i'm counting down the minutes on Baxter (currently 47) until I can be unhooked and go home. After this I only have two more Tuesday 5 hour sessions to go. Then I have an 'end of term' scan, as my consultant calls it, to check that all the bad cells have really been killed off.
This week has been pretty hard and I can't get rid of the horrid metallic taste in my mouth that's meaning i'm not really eating as much as I should be. But i'm sure some good home cooked food from the Husband will sort that out when I get home.
I'm waiting until everything is signed off before I start making any plans for the future. It was all supposed to be sorted after the operation in April but the little bugger made a run for it so no counting chickens.
I'm also pretty tired all the time but that's to be expected when you've been pumped full of poisons for last two months. Two months already, it really seems to have flown by. Not sure whether that's been in a daze or just denial. But I am sure that it's not flown by for everyone that's had to sit next to me during that period. Thank you.
I've also finished first bit of the project, it's helped to pass the time as well but who knows if it'll ever see the light of day.
Right, time to pack up my room now for clear out and collect my injection for tomorrow. It's a little like a diabetes injection but with a longer needle. I need to do it the day after treatment as a booster for my blood cells. I've elected to do it myself and this is one thing that the Husband will not help me with. He is not a needle man. Wuss.
Signing off for now. 34 mins....
