As I mentioned in my last post I did a lot of kipping last week and I felt way more queasy than previously. Some of the extra napping could therefore have been a result of the additional Cyclizine I was taking to ward off this queasiness.
Some of the new queasiness could possibly be associated with taking a prophylactic {snigger} dose {snigger snigger} of Aciclovir since the Friday before starting this cycle last Monday. I have always found it possible to eat something even if it was just dry cornflakes.
Anyhoo, I napped on Wednesday, I think, other than my bum bag busting and walking Bud and something craftery I can’t actually remember what I did on Wednesday. I certainly napped on Thursday when I got back from the Royal. I remember this distinctly because B perpetrated an act so heinous I surely could have reported him to Amensty International.
I was curled up on the settee when B advised me that he was going to take Bud, who was curled up behind my legs, for a walk. B said later he realised I was tired because I didn’t get off the settee to wave them off (what can I say, I come from a family of wavers – it’s all I can do not to wave to B when he goes to the toilet). Despite this he left the TV controls on the floor at the other end of the settee than the one my hands were at AND he left Dickinson’s Real Deal on the telly – ARGHHHHHHHHHHH! I managed to raise my head and locate the controls and then it flopped back onto the cushion and I closed my eyes and hoped sleep would come quickly – fortunately it did so we’re still married.
Friday I took Bud for a longer than usual walk and then had a kip from which B had to rouse me to go the Royal to get the Doxorubicin detached. Now we normally go for lunch if we go on a Friday but since when we left the hospital it was raining and cold we came straight home and guess what, I had another nap.
I napped Saturday before going to Auntie Ann’s. I got through yesterday without a nap but I did only get up at 10:30. And today I napped after getting home from the Royal where I got my second to last Velcade. I am at this moment however feeling quite perky.
Auntie Ann phoned about half an hour ago and confirmed that I sounded perky, if slightly breathless as I had been tormenting Bud when the phone rang.
Speaking of Bud I thought since doing an impressive doggie impression of an emergency siren on Thursday night whilst running from the front window through to the lounge causing his Auntie Pat, who was visiting, to exclaim ‘Was that him?’ the urge to visit with the little doggie down the road had ceased. However during the phone call from Auntie Ann I had to excuse myself to find out what the noise was emanating from our bedroom. I thought Bud must have fallen off the bed or got tangled in the duvet but no, he was standing staring alertly out of the window at well, the tail of said doggie which was just visible above the vegetation. How did he know it was her? He’s only seen her once!
I hope the perkiness continues. I am having a tired day and only 2 more radiations YEA I can only pray that all this medication makes you have longer periods of being well.
Our dog can smell Lady Spaniel when she is still in their car, and the wind is in the wrong direction.
Enjoy those power naps! They are good for you!
