CHEMO II DAY 87

Fight, hot or cold, day or night.

Sunday and I wake after yet another restless night. I get up and as its a Sunday I weigh myself. To my surprise I weigh in at 96.8 kilos, that’s a weekly loss of 1.7 kilos. I’m pleasantly surprised and pleased that my more moderate diet has worked. Breakfast is simple and is accompanied by my meds.

I spend my morning and afternoon switching between watching rugby and sorting out more boxes of documents and photographs from my sisters estate. It feels as if I am at last getting to the end of this task. With this task almost done with I start to fill the new DVD storage that has been delivered today. I just have enough time to finish the organising of the new storage of the house DVDs and recycling the packaging before tea.

My evening goes by with a rugby match and an episode of The Woman in the Wall. One gem in the day was a friend alerting me to the fourth book in the Before the Coffee gets Cold series, Before we Say Goodbye, by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. They are some of my favourite books, which I know I will devour as soon as it arrives. Its a pre-order so I have the joy of anticipation like knowing I’m going to have one of my favourite meals. Delicious brain food, No wonder the house is full of books. I down my night meds and draft the blog. The coming week brings some early week drug admin before I slip away mid week with my partner for a short beak away in Suffolk so there will be pre trip admin to do.

Ah water, to swim in or stand by.
