Monday 24th March to Sunday 30th March

Day +83 - Monday 24th March

Good evening everyone, I hope you had a good weekend.

It’s the start of week 13, the magic 100 day mark is nearing.

I slept well but again woke up feeling tired so I decided to have a total rest day and try to recover from whatever virus I have.

No stretches, just breakfast and a shower, then some work. I’ve been in two minds all day about what I should do and also being apprehensive about doing things because of my stomach, and worried about getting another virus, though my stomach has been much better today. I decided to be safe and do nothing but rest. I’m glad I did as I do feel better.

Early night as an early start awaits.

Good night all, sleep well.

Day +84 - Tuesday 25th March

Good evening everyone, I hope you’ve had a good day.

I slept well, woke up very early, no time for stretches, just breakfast, shower and straight out of the door, work to do and what a busy day it’s been. I feel okay, my body is now beating the virus and I’m more stronger.

I’m still very careful with my diet and also forever either washing my hands or using hand sanitizer.

The evening has been nice and easy, and now time for an early night, same again tomorrow.

Good night all, sleep well.

❤️🙏🏽

Day +85 - Wednesday 26th March

Good evening all, I hope your week is going well.

I slept well, again an early rise so no time for stretches, just breakfast, shower and straight out of the door, more work today and we met up with T, J & B, good to see them, and B is always glad to see me because he knows there’s snacks coming his way!!!

I’m feeling tired this evening as I’ve been quite busy and lots of driving so a huge dose of relaxation is coming up.

Time for bed and much needed shut eye.

Good night all, sleep well.

❤️🙏🏽

Day +86 - Thursday 27th March

Good evening everyone, I hope you’re well.

I didn’t sleep too well, my stomach has become very sensitive recently, still no idea why, we’re trying to identify what’s causing my discomfort, so far we think it’s deep fried foods or anything cooked in excess oil, I’ve also cut back on carbonated drinks. Also, not sure if I’ve completely recovered from the unknown virus because I’m still getting tired much quicker.

It’s been a relaxing day, quite chilly outside as we found out playing a very different and very short version of pitch and putt over 9 holes, yep, I won, I won’t embarrass Dr N with our scores 😜. Playing pool didn’t go well for her either 😂😂.

I’m feeling much better this evening, even my stomach is behaving.

Early night as I’m really feeling in need of sleep, not as tired as I thought I would be.

Good night all, sleep well.

❤️🙏🏽

Day +87 - Friday 28th March

Good evening everyone, I hope you’re ready for the weekend.

I slept really well, stomach didn’t complain either.

We’re away at the moment, we wanted to get away for a few days before my appointment with the consultant and before my chemo starts again. Shower and down for breakfast, a bowl of fruit followed by a lovely bowl of creamy porridge. Today, Dr N decided we’d climb a mountain, well we’d go up and see how far we could go, but we weren’t sure if I was fit enough because of all my current ailments. We drove there and started climbing, the first 100 metres were hard going but rather than turn back, I kept going. We followed a set route and managed to get about a quarter up the mountain. I could have gone more but didn’t want to push myself too much as the path was steep and strenuous. We managed a total of 2 miles which was excellent. I felt good when we got back to my car, no aches or pains.

Back at the car, footwear changed and off we set on a car adventure to a couple of other towns.

Before long we were back at our hotel to play another round of golf, a frame of pool, yep, I won, and a game of table tennis which Dr N won. I managed quite a few things today. Tiredness did eventually kick in but that’s not surprising considering I haven’t been exercising recently. I’m glad what I achieved today. My stomach does feel better, I’ll keep a track of what I’m eating.

Time for bed, I’m sure to fall asleep quickly.

Good night all, sleep well.

Day +88 - Saturday 29th March

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you’re having a good weekend.

I slept really well, the long walk really made me tired in a good way. My legs did feel sore.

Shower, breakfast and we were straight out doors, we walked approx 6 miles in total today, over half was climbing hills and mountains so very steep and strenuous. All in all, it was a day full of workouts and although hard, I felt good at the end of the last mountain. Views were spectacular so worth the hard work. My fitness is getting better so I didn’t really need to worry when I wasn’t feeling well.

Now back in our room, I’m feeling tired but happy with walking about 8 miles in 2 days and most of that being up hill.

A nice relaxing evening, then a lovely 4 course dinner, all healthy. I’m feeling good, positive and just a little tired. My stomach is feeling so much more better.

Early night, clocks go forward as well so a hour less sleep, and have a long drive back home tomorrow so need a good sleep.

Good night all, sleep well.

❤️🙏🏽

Day +89 - Sunday 30th March

Good evening all, I hope you’ve had a lovely day.

I slept well again, no aches or pains, just stiff legs which I can live with.

Shower, breakfast and then we checked out ready for our 5 hour drive home, well, 5 became over 6 because a key A road was closed so we had to go around the houses to eventually get home. Such a lovely sunny day as well which was a bonus, just shame about the cool breeze.

Eventually we arrived home, I was totally exhausted while Dr N was more active as she had slept for most of the journey home.

I’m feeling tired but good, before diagnosis I would have been shattered after driving for so long yet today I’m feeling really good, yes exhausted but still capable of doing anything.

Early night ready for an early start.

Good night all, sleep well.
