Day Thirty Two

I am feeling really great today, slept for nine hours last night all the way through - no more 2am wake ups hopefully! I think I can put this down to the fact that I am no longer afraid of what to expect from the chemo. It really was not that bad at all. The back of my right hand is bruised from where they tried to insert the canula the first time - I bent the canula! Made of very strong stuff! The nurse was brilliant, very patient. You get to have a hot blanket over your arm to keep the vein open, cosy chair, soft pillows, everything. The dull ache has already gone from under my arm for the first time in weeks. My hair is feeling a little drier today but still there for the moment. Had a good talk with my little boy about it, told him what to expect. He thinks it's odd that the medicine is going to make me feel poorly to make me better, but other than that, he is fine. It's nice to know I don't have to go to hospital for another three weeks, that I can get on with my life in the mean time. I am not going to kick the backside out of it though or I will get my backside kicked!
