Go me!! I have beaten the chemo at it's own game!! I started to get pain in my ankles again last night, it started to spread up my left leg towards my left hip and my right thigh bone so I took two pain killers at 9pm, I was tucked up in bed by 10pm and I slept through until 7am! My bed did look as if it hadn't been slept in so I suspect the painkillers totally knocked me out. My legs feel very wobbly at the moment but I am not in very much pain - the ankles are feeling 'crunchy' as is my left wrist but we are talking 1-2 on the pain scale not the 7-8 I got last time. I feel fine within myself, relieved that I now know how to manage the pain and I can sleep. I am getting virtually no pain in the liver area - I even managed a coffee yesterday which until recently triggered pains and there was nothing. I am going to rest up today and take it easy, I know this body of mine is taking a hammering so I am going to look after it.
It is now half six in the evening.. had an ok day, I just feel as if my brain has been sucked out through my nose. I feel stoned, even sending a simple text message seems to require a massive amount of effort. My legs are aching, my taste buds have gone AWOL and I am so thirsty. I want to sleep around the clock. I woke up again after 11am today and it took me half an hour to come round and get out of bed. This is only to be expected and I am not being hard on myself, I have just had chemo. For those of you who are reading this, please bear with me. I know I will be feeling better soon. I am not pushing you away, it just takes an awful lot right now for me to talk to you. Still love you.
