Yesterday was very much a recovery day from the two sets of chemo the day before. Breakfast did not stay down for very long and I did not even attempt to eat anything for lunch. By tea time I was up to some soup and then a bit later a banana.
Medically everything appears to be going to plan, my zinc levels are a bit low so I am getting tablets to sort that out. My temperature is back to normal and infection markers in my blood have started to disappear. This will be due to all the antibiotics they are pumping into me at the minute.
Due to the lack of hair on my head I have decided to try growing a beard (assuming it does not all fall out in the next couple of days!). That way James will be able to call me the Beardy Baldy Man. Still early days, it may just fall out next week… Isabel is happy for me to grow one but has may it clear that I’m not allowed to bring it home.
Mum and John were down for a visit yesterday, it was a shame I was not feeling very good but it was nice to see them. Isabel and James came in with them for a little bit as well which was good.
… No exercise bike yesterday, hope to get back to it today…
