           THANKFUL! THAT TODAY I am a lot less nauseous, in
            a lot less pain, had the strength to get up, dressed, made
            up  and  even  tidy  up  a  bit!  Might  even  get  a  bit  of
            Zen tangling done at this rate....

           OK now I’m shopping from bed - luxury bed linen and
            pyjamas. Still struggling to find anything I like as much as
            the Agent Provocateur Tuxedo set in black silk but £500
            does seem a little bit much for PJs. I have found a sort of
            alternative for £250 in John Lewis....... There could be an
            economic  rise  out  of  the  third  loop  of  the  triple  dip
            recession by the time I’ve finished all this chemo....

           You should consult your Doctor if you have been "looking
            pale or feeling tired" I’ve been like that for 4 decades! It’s
            on an actual patient information leaflet in some of the
            post chemo drugs they’ve given me. I’m thinking flipping
            ‘eck  after  the  amount  of  shite  they’ve  given  me  we’re
            doing well if a bit tired n pale is a worrying symptom. I’m
            thinking  I’ve  had  horrific  stabbing  pain,  hot  sweats,
            freezing cold and virtually no blood circulation dizziness,
            loss of sensation, visual disturbances...... but I’m not that
            pale so should be fine!

           Pitch  Dark  at  6.30pm  :-(I  don’t  like  it)  Maybe  I’ll  face
            winter  and  chemotherapy  and  surgery  like  the  dark
            chrysalis stage to endure and then I might emerge in the
            summer renewed and re-beautified like a Butterfly?..........
