Day 66

Slept all the way through last night from 10pm until 7am after having a pain killer last night. I felt my ankles starting to ache last night before I went to bed and sure enough as soon as I settled in bed my right ankle started to hurt - but all I had to do was wait for the pain killer to kick in. Beating this at its own game. The only downside is that I now have the side effects of the pain killer! I cannot believe that I should be taking 6 of those a day, I am getting by on just one a night but it leaves me feeling stoned. My breathing is heavier as well at the moment, I actually woke myself up because I was breathing as if I had run a marathon. If I move my head too fast I feel dizzy so I am going to take it easy today - I have no choice in the matter! Even typing this is fun! Mt left wrist is quite painful as well - that seems to be a left over from my first course of chemo as it used to hurt then too. I am ok in myself, I need to concentrate on getting better at the moment and I know that all those around me want the same for me as well so I better get on with it!
