Terra Firma

After the malaise of an unwanted early morning start I had some breakfast, went back to bed and managed to regain all the sleep that I had "lost".

The effect was dramatic as it now feels like I am more or less through those first few nasty days.

It's not like returning to "normal" but everything feels easier and much more in control.

I have just done half an hour chi-kung in the garden and the ability to stay still, relaxed, focused and controlled for that length of time gives a confidence of me being back in charge rather than the drugs.

In reality not a lot has changed but the world looks like a completely different place to the one at 6:30 this morning. I've experienced similar moments in all of the cycles of chemotherapy that I have been through and they have all led to feeling progressively better.

I assume that is just the way it works for me.

  1. Im glad to see that you are feeling better because you always feel like sh.. for the 1st few days.I have to ask you something which has been bothering me for the last few months.
    Are you turning in to a miget because to me you shrinking and if you carry on the way you are going ,I will have to contact the circus and get you taken away and fired out of a cannon each week.Im scared that if you get any smaller I will tread on you or drink you by accident out of my budweiser if your sitting on the edge.

  2. Yes, Notoplip, we have to be careful especially in these times when our relationship has hit the big screen in Shrek3.

    Rumpelstiltskin and Shrek is all the rage at the moment.

    I'll be the winner of this game
    The Queen will never guess my name
    She's going to lose and I'm going to win

  3. Hi

    How are you doing, sorry not been in contact for the last week or so but we took ourselves off to the lake district for a bit of R&R. Weather was a bit iffy (plenty of rain) but at least a break.
    See you are having a bit of a rough time of it at the moment, hopefully this course of treatment will work and you can have the op.
    Keep us updated and we will both have our fingers crossed for you (and Kitten).
    Take care

  4. Thanks very much annstonefamily and hope that you had a good holiday.

    We have adjusted to taking the scenic route with this illness but there is still reason to feel that it can be cured (not least because my general health is still holding up very well).

    Obviously this current course of treatment is pivotal, but Kitten and I are in good spirits and still very optimistic.

    I rarely take route one!

    I will be in touch off-line.

    Hope that "Mr" is going from strength to strength.
