I struggle to get up this morning. I have to get up early to have breakfast. If I stay in bed, I cannot eat, and I am likely to become sick. I have to talk myself out of bed, and coach myself through making porridge. I eat half of it and go back to bed (full of pills of course!).
I get up to take Martha and Katy to school. Luckily, they have both been self sufficient in getting ready for school. When I get home, it is time to go to Christies.
My scalp is really painful. It has woken me many times in the night. I cannot sleep on my left hand side - the sharp pain is unbearable.
Radiotherapy appointment is fine. I have my ipod back on David Bowie Album. I didn't fancy the Famous Five again! I need to synch it with my PC, but iTunes is not working correctly on my PC; I haven't synched it, in case I lose everything off the ipod. Most of my tunes "cannot be found" on my PC.
Mostly for the rest of the day, I have been asleep or lying in bed. I have picked Katy up from school, and my mum drove me to pick Martha up from a party.
A maths friend of mine from Chorlton High (Anna) came round today. I completely forgot about this - I wrote my BLOG last night, and missed this out. Short term memory? Or simply tired? I think this is just me being tired. She is 39 weeks pregnant. She looks amazing - slim, fit and well - with a giant bump, of course. It was great to catch up. Thanks also for the aromatherapy candle - I will enjoy it.
I have been in tears a few times. It never feels connected to anything, even though I know what is going on. I plan to start a timetable for after the radiotherapy. Here are some initial thoughts:
1) Polates classes
2) My morning walk (after drop off at school).
3) Time to research volcano trip
4) Time to write outline for my book
5) Other stuff like read, watch film, dressmaking.
Max, Chris (running mates for 2015 London Marathon), I saw in "The Week" that someone has planned marathons that go past live volcanoes. Fancy it? (only joking)
love you all
