I get my drugs correct and have a good day

Short and slow morning walk
I wake before six, satisfied with good sleep.  A side effect of the anti-nausea injection is drowsiness, which was good for me after many nights of broken sleep.  I write my drugs timetable, and BLOG before getting up.  I am allowed to eat food today, because I have an afternoon appointment on Wednesday.  This corresponds with an appointment with my consultant.

I go for my morning walk.  It is a beautiful morning; it is warm and sunny.  I am a bit slow, but happy to be out and covering a couple of miles (at the most).  For those that know the route, I walk into the meadows up the straight path, then turn left at the red bridge, and head towards home along the stream.

Martha and Katy go out to play with friends
We have a lazy morning.  I make Martha an egg white toasted sandwich.  Katy enjoys cocoa pops (the Aldi version of course!).  I encourage the girls to get ready to go out.  Katy gets ready; Martha needs a verbal helping hand.  Somehow they have an argument that leads to Katy knocking a pile of Martha's clothes across the floor in her bedroom.  I help her put all of these away and ignore Katy.  Katy goes to play with Rosy Wilson - Dad picks her up for a picnic in the park.  I walk Martha around to Anna's house.  Martha is riding her bike, ready for a trip out on bikes.  On my way back, I can see Katy sitting in the park having her picnic; I choose not to disturb her.

I receive a beautiful double orchid from my god parents.  Thank you so much.  (I will add a picture tomorrow).

I have a sleep.

Hospital Appointment
The appointment is very late again.  It is tricky because you have to arrive at the correct time.  I tell my radiologists that I have taken my drugs correctly today. 

After the appointment I meet my specialist nurse, who checks out how I am doing.  She has a checklist:  any changes to my vision?  any headaches?  are any of my original symptoms recurring?  I tell her about my sickness from the day before, and that I have learned that I have to manage my drugs properly.  Friendly, she tells me that many patients have an experience like this during their treatment programme, and she knows that I won't make the same mistake again.

Back home for a rest
I am able to rest when we get home.  I have home made butternut squash soup and wheat free ciabbatta, which is delicious.  I then settle to watch ARGO.  I have signed up to a free trial with Love Film, and this is my first film delivery.  I haven't finished watching it yet, but I am really enjoying it.

Katy is home at 6pm and she cooks flap jack, while I cook a lasagne.  My mum went to Aldi this morning, so we were stocked up well.  Lush Lasagne for dinner tomorrow night.

Thank you all, loads of love
