Where has the day gone?
Rewind to yesterday. I did get some sleep eventually. I even slept through the end of my chemo and most of my blood test only being woken to press the plaster at the end. We’d agreed Helen should get some rest and come in after the rush hour so she appeared later than normal for her hospital visit. Having learned about the free parking around the hospital she left every now and then to move the car. It may seem a bit pedantic but it broke the day up for her and she used the trips to do other things too. Including bringing me lunch from the public food area in the hospital. Nice.
The blood test came out fine so we were discharged late afternoon and back with the family by dinner time. Helen and I were both pretty wiped out so we bade an early goodnight and headed back to the flat.
The rest since then has simply been back to stuff. I won’t do a big long list as going has been a bit slower due to tiredness and chemical wooziness and I’m sure there’s only so many lists one can take. A few highlights though :
- We’ve connected with our cruising friends Ken and Lori from Trim who happen to be working a couple of miles from here. We’ve arranged to meet up upon our return from Brisbane. A lot to talk about from Palmerstone to Melbourne.
- Sorted out another visit to our friends Brian and Janine in January – perhaps just as we leave the country.
- I have ordered a Nexus 4 which may get to us before the end of the year – ahead of what the google play store seems capable of. If it’s not delivered I can cancel and get my money back.
I feel like I’ve responded pretty well from the latest blast of chemo. I’ve been a little confused/distracted from time to time but that seems to be fading. Had an afternoon nap which seems to have freshened me up a bit. A heatwave hit late afternoon so we’re now ‘enjoying that’.
