A**ehole - a steroid moment!
First wet walk
Max and I start the morning with a walk. This is my first wet walk - it is raining, and we go out in gortex waterproofs. The good thing is that I have no doubt that the only thing to do, is to go out for a walk. I want this routine to fall back on if I am feeling poorly.
We walk down Edge Lane today, and up through Longford Park. We drop into doctors for a prescription, chemist, and the parcels office. We return home, exercised and satisfied with doing jobs along the way.
Drugs timetable
I am then tightly tied into my drugs timetable. I cannot eat after 09.50, so set about making a good meal to tide me through. I make a delicious fish pie, using the Pembrokeshire potatoes that my Dad sent me in an electric pump box (I thought it was an electric pump). I am full and very happy.
I then need a sleep and go to bed for an hour (after antibotics). I wake to take the anti-sickness tablet. Chemotherapy tablet goes in my bag for correct time.
The Bank
On the way to the hospital, we drop into a bank, so that I can pay in a refund for a jacket of Martha's. After this, Max is driving back towards the hospital on roads that she doesn't know. I say straight on, and Max starts to pull into the left hand lane, however this takes you left, so I advise her to stay in middle lane. A van then passes my open window and the driver shouts out "you are clueless". Max does not hear this at all. All Max can see and hear is her usually polite and restrained sister, shouting "A**ehole", with her head hanging out of the window. I have never done anything like this, ever. It must be the steroids. So, Max and I are laughing, and screaming at what I have just done. Very funny indeed!!
Wig
I then decide to accept the offer of a free wig.
My appointment
This is reasonably on time. I have taken an Abba CD and found it reasonably comfortable today. The CD helps because I can judge the time by the number of tracks. I emerge from the session singing "Waterloo". Max and I sing this all the way to the car.

My new wig!
I took Max to a scarf tying session, but unfortunately it wasn't on. Maybe tomorrow. While there, we found the wig department. I don't want to wear a wig - I think it will be uncomfortable and hot, however, we decided that because it was FREE then maybe I should get one. I can wear it for fun at any time!! Here are my trials. Which one would you choose?
Longer and dark.
I chose the longer and dark. She is called "Melody". Maybe I will meet you when wearing my Melody wig ...
