Good morning bunnies
Absolutely glorious morning in my bit of the country. Am sitting in the conservatory with the sun pouring in and feel very very glad to be alive.
Tracy, great to here you are almost human again. Sounds like your OH really stepped up to the mark.
Chris, have read that other ladies found that by clipping off their hair, it stopped the soreness, so go for it girl!
Elaine, I live quite near the seaside too and often walk for miles on the beaches with our dogs. However, it's a seasonal activity as round here they ban dogs on the beaches May to October. Makes me cross, I always clean up after our dogs which is more than can be said for many humans who leave all their rubbish behind!
Lots of bunnies yet to get their bunny pics uploaded, so come on, we want a thread full of bunny pics:)
We have 2 Jack Russell terriers, Max and Paddy who are one of the major joys of my life. They are now 3 years old and great fun and company. Anyway, we have decided that we would like to have another one so have applied to rescue a 9 month old bitch called Tilly. They are coming to do a home inspection this week so do hope they don't find me heaving in the bathroom.
I was wide awake at 3.30am so could have kept you company Tracy. Soon as I awoke, my head was off with veins and chemo. Veins because of the portacath procedure. I have this visual, like those medieval paintings of hanging drawing and quartering, you know where all the intestines are falling out. I imagine I will be laid there with yards of veins falling out and they can't quite fit them all back in. OH says I need help. Humph, it's not his veins they are poking about with.
I haven't been told to bring anything with me on Wednesday, so the £220 chemo bag still has a solitary packet of tissues in it, though I have got a notebook to write down any instructions.
A question to those who have started, I know I will be given Emend intravenously before the chemo and then tablets for the first 2 days at home. Does this mean the sickness only happens in the first 3 days? What if we are sick on day 4?
Mother rang this morning:
M: can you remember that woman who used to walk past our house in that purple mac?
Me: no
M: yes you can, her husband had a trilby
Me: no, don't know who you mean
M: they lived in that house with Snow White and the 7 dwarves in the front garden and a rabbit pushing a wheelbarrow, you used to go wave to them when you were little
Me: who, the woman in the purple mac and her husband?
M: no! Snow white and the dwarves, and the rabbit, you used to stop and wave to them. The rabbit only had one ear.
Me: oh, yeah, can remember the dwarves. They had toadstools as well.
M: well they haven't now.
Me: what, they got rid of them?
M: they got rid of more than Snow White and her pals, yesterday morning a lorry smashed into their house, straight through the front garden and into the front wall of the house. Great big crack over the front room window and the door caved in.
Me: goodness, was anybody hurt?
M: no, but they only had their uvpc's put in last October and she got all new curtains
Me: well I expect they are insured.
M: that may be. Anyway, I'm telling you to cheer you up.
Me: cheer me up? How does that work then?
Me: we'll you haven't had a lorry come through your front wall have you so think about that when you are having your injections, at least you haven't got all that muck to clean up.
My mother has the ability to give absolutely everything a new perspective. So all you bunnies, feeling ukky with SEs, just be grateful, you haven't got a lorry in your front room. Shame about Snow White though.... Though Grumpy always had a real air of malevolence and I long suspected him as being the one who had the bunnies ear!
Have a wonderful day bunnies.
Much love
Pixie xx
