Wednesday 21st August

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a wonderful evening.

I slept well, the chemo tablets only slightly affected my sleep.

Stretches completed, breakfast eaten, next is a shower and then gardening. The steroids are still kicking around my body so I have a bit more energy. The next couple of days will be a test to see how much energy I have. No headache but lightheaded.

Just completed 2 hours of gardening, now for some lunch to keep my energy levels up. Feeling a little tired, no headache but still a little lightheaded.

There’s a pigeon who visits our garden on a daily basis, it’s a crafty one because he’s after the new grass seeds and so it walks around the garden pecking at insects with the intention of getting to the repaired lawn area. It keeps checking to see if we’re around and when it sees me, it stops and it’s like a standoff. Then it walks towards the patch and I walk to the patio door. It stops, I open the door, it stares at me, I walk out, it doesn’t move, I walk towards it and it flies off onto the shed roof so I keep walking and it finally flies off. It will be back, for some reason, it’s more scared to me than Dr N.

Nice relaxing afternoon, dinner was quick and healthy.

I’m still feeling tired with heavy legs and still a little lightheaded.

It’s time for bed, the evening was nice and relaxing, I’m feeling the same as before, I hope I have a good rested sleep.

Good night everyone, sleep well well.

Thursday 22nd August

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a lovely evening.

I slept well, having an extra 30 minutes in bed before I step out. I feel ok, heavy legs.

Stretches and breakfast completed, it’s raining here so no gardening, maybe this afternoon, so it’s chore time.

I’m feeling better, a little tired, no headache, just lightheaded and heavy legs.

Lunch was lovely, followed by an hour in the garden, we have so much moss and weeds, I’ve just dug up 6 patches which I’ve aerated and now will need seeding and soil. That’s for another day.

It’s been raining on and off all evening. Dinner eaten and now to relax. Feeling tired and legs still heavy.

Time for bed. It’s been a weird day, even though I’ve been tired, I’ve had energy to do the gardening, legs are achy and heavy. No headache but still slight lightheaded.

Let’s see how I feel after a good sleep, I have things to do so need my energy!!

Good night all, sleep well.

Friday 23rd August

Good morning everyone, I hope you’re all well.

I slept well but too many bathroom breaks. I’m feeling tired this morning, no headache just a little lightheaded.

Stretches and breakfast completed. Can the weather decide what it wants to do??

Had a shower and fatigue has hit, I feel like I have no energy, my muscles feel weak, and I’m mentally tired.

Lunch was our version of a lovely tofu, okra and spinach gumbo with pearl barley, ultra healthy.

Still feeling the same, it’s as if all of my energy has been sucked out of me.

It’s been a lazy day, even walking to the kitchen is a chore today.

Ate dinner and now a movie.

It’s been a real struggle today but I’m still smiling.

Time for bed and a fresh start tomorrow.

Good night everyone, sleep well.

Saturday 24th August

Good morning everyone, I hope you slept well.

I had a good sleep, I’m still feeling fatigued but not as bad as yesterday. Stretches and breakfast completed. It’s going to be raining all day so we’re stuck indoors.

The fatigue should lift so let’s see how today goes.

Showered and it’s still raining.

Just had a very healthy lunch of fillet of sea bass, mashed herb potatoes and parsnip with peas and spinach. And it’s still raining.

I’m feeling less fatigued but arms and legs are achy, head is a little spaced out, no headache. I think today will be a rest day.

I have a little more energy, so I put it to good use and set up my bike trainer so now I can start some cardio. I managed 5 minutes which is really good considering how bad I was yesterday.

Dinner eaten, watched a movie and now just browsing channels.

Feeling a little tired and light headed which makes a change when I was so fatigued yesterday. It’s amazing how one day I’m ok, next day I can just about manage a walk to the kitchen and then the following day I have energy. Each day sure is different.

Time for bed and a good nights sleep.

Good night all, sleep well.

Sunday 25th August

Good morning everyone, and what a chilly morning it is. I hope you slept well. I had a good sleep, feeling a little tired and lightheaded. Stretches and breakfast first then a haircut and shower. As yet, no plans for the day ahead yet.

Just got back from a 3 mile walk, it’s a bit chilly out, in the sun it’s nice but you do have to wrap up. It was a nice walk around a local park. I’m still feeling a little tired and lightheaded but doing ok.

Lunch was a healthy tofu and bean salad with a lovely yoghurt dressing.

It’s been a relaxing afternoon, I’m feeling tired, have a slight headache and still lightheaded.

Quick dinner with lots of fruit, papaya, cherries, banana, fig and grapes.

Watched a movie this evening, still feeling the same, but more lightheaded, sometimes it feels like I’m floating, just got to take things easy.

Time for bed, I need a good sleep.

Good night all, sleep well.

Monday 26th August

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a lovely evening.

I slept well, feeling a little tired and lightheaded with a floating feeling.

Stretches completed, now breakfast and a shower.

It’s a nice day, I’ve just spent an hour in the garden seeding and adding soil to the lawn patches.

This is an experiment to see if the grass seeds germinate. There are lots more areas which need the same process.

Only managed a few minutes on the bike today but carried out a quick service so it’s working well.

Lunch was pearl barley risotto with asparagus, spinach, shiitake mushrooms and salmon fillets. Always healthy.

Still tired, and lightheaded. I now intend to relax and be ready for my treatment tomorrow.

Eaten dinner and have been taking things easy. I’m more lightheaded this evening, feels like my head is floating.

Early night tonight as I’ve got an early start, 3 things happening tomorrow, bloods, bone strengthening infusion and chemo injections.

Good night all, sleep well.
