Sunday (4 days on)
Today is always 'weird' day. Everything dodgy seems to happen 4/5 days after. My mouth is strange and thick, nothing seems to get rid of the taste. Food and drink is very unenticing. No energy to share either and watching tv seems the only option but the noise becomes annoying. So what to do - sleep, listen. I realized I forgot to get my e-reader organized before today, but not sure that would be successful either.
Mum is here to help, God bless her cotton socks! and has washed every piece of fabric, and sock in the house possible, I've never seen my laundry so clear for a long time. So she finally is sitting and reading the paper. Mum arrived the night before my appointment at 'The V' and came and sat through the duration with John by my side. It was a long day starting at 9 am and finishing at 2:30 pm before going home to bed for a nap.
I came home to some special surprises on my doorstep and a delivery of a homemade dinner, which all put a smile on my face to go to sleep with. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and kind gestures.
Charlie, the cat has been particularly clingy - not sure if he is being more intuitive than normal or if he's just looking for a warm body to cuddle up to with this cold Melbourne weather?????? Hmmmm...either he really cares or he's just a user! Getting lots more cuddles from Alexander, Andres gives 'side' cuddles so he doesn't 'hurt' me.
Of course you never stop being a Mum. So regardless of how I feel, I've still got to make sure they've got the right uniform for the day, if they have fruit and some 'verbal encouragement' to get ready in the morning.
Sleeping a lot more this time. I hope that these symptoms will go away with the new drug for number 5 dose. I have 1 more to the half way mark! Gotta be excited about that.
Looking forward to feeling 'normal' again.....any day now!!! :)
Every day is another step closer to the end of this episode of your life. Keep reminding yourself it won't be like this forever. Go with the lack of energy for now - milk it for all it's worth - "sorry I have to rest". Your usual efforts will be noticed more now!
