Thursday and I wake up to the first day of chemo cycle 26 so I take my vitals, which are good, and then check my socials and messages. I get up and get breakfast and take my morning meds. With that out of the way I find a message telling me my car insurance has been paid, which is a bit of a surprise to me. I hunt around and find my policy and check the App that I had used. Sure enough my policy has been renewed and I am covered again till June 2026. So I download my new documentation and print off the most important ones. So having done that I, I move on to sorting out my new debt card, the one that had been compromised by the Netflix hack. Finally my admin was done and I head for the garage and the rower.
It’s been two days since I last trained so this session needs to be an hours session, so I get on board the rower and get some training music into my ears. I know that this is going to be an effort so I start off quite slowly and gradually build up a rhythm. Its a tough session and I do not quite make my 12 kilometre standard but it feels like it is a useful session.
I take time out to record the session and then rest for a while before showering. My partner returns and we chat for a while. I look at her watch whose touch sensitive face has come adrift, and superglue the screen back into place, which seems to have worked. When I check my messages again I find have been sent a date and a time for another bone scan, it is not unexpected and I am quite relieved that it has come through so quickly. So I will be spending another half day being irradiated and scanned, during which I tend to nap.
The evening arrives after a rain curtailed by visit by the garden guy and I move into my master plan to watch football and eat and Indian take away. The Indian went well but the streaming service wanted money to watch the match, so I draft the blog while easing myself into “rom com” night but so far there has been a murder and there is little sign of either “rom” or “com”. I shall be working towards the evening meds and an early night. It’s not been a bad first day of Cycle 26.
