CHEMO II DAY 264

Fight even if its only a tiny bit.

Tuesday after an appalling night. The post 28 day jab reaction has been ugly. I’m very sore and shaky when I wake up, I’ve no energy and I feel chilled. I just lay in bed trying to get warm and stay calm. Little by little I start to do stuff like check my phone and send messages. I check my accounts to find one of my pensions has gone in and then check my vitals. Blood pressure lower than normal for me but in the normal range. My son is going for an interview today so I message him and wish him luck. I watch an episode of Would I Lie to You on my phone after my partner brings me hot water, toast and my meds. I top these up with yet more paracetamol. I try to read for a while but eventually I begin to get hot and have to get up. So I am out of bed at noon, which feels ridiculous, and get to my end of the sofa and start the blog. It feels as if I have zero energy, not a spoon in sight. It seems to me that my reaction to my 28 injection is getting more pronounced and that generally my body will tolerate less activity. Its difficult to fight, thankfully my head is still good. I can do small head steps easier than physical steps at the moment.

The afternoon is spent doing crosswords and continued reading of The Book of Form and Emptiness. I give my feet a blast on the reinvigorater and continue to rest. I try to feel chipper but I don’t feel it even though I spend a bit of time ordering some feel good items. I eat tea and catch up with the blog before I settle down to watch football while my partner goes to have a coffee with a friend. I shall continue to rest and wait for my body to recover. There will be night meds and then bed. I’ve no idea how the night will go.

There is nothing but to keep moving forward.
