Thursday 17th January
Back into Coventry University Hospital outpatients today for the next dose of chemo. This is the last treatment of the first cycle and should only take an hour. They seemed very busy today though and it took 2 hours instead, the extra hour just spent waiting for someone to come and change the bag on the drip machine. You start with just a saline solution, then an anti-sickness, then a steroid to work with the anti-sickness before finally getting the actual chemo drug. They finish up with some more saline just to flush through so there are quite a few changes to get held up for. Next week we go back to the beginning for another 3 day stay and big dose. Dreading that.
Managed another decent walk this morning up Greenhill and around the orchards behind. 2.2 miles ( Garmin on again ! ) but quite a muddy stroll so not quick.
Once again, wish I was at skittles tonight. The lads are at Wickhamford, awful alley so a hard game to win even tough the opposition aren't great. Good luck to them.
Ben at climbing. Will have to go and pick him up at 9 o'clock which will be a bind as I am sat infront of the fire writng this, nice and cosy.
Hair update. Bugger, evidence in bath after washing hair, not much but bugger, bugger, bugger.
Bring on the snow. At least we don't have to travel at the moment.
Cheers
Tim
