It's almost the end of another day.
I've peeded for Scotland, possibly even full GB qualification - though in the volume/endurance events, rather than the "how high" categories - that's a young man's game.
I've had lots of nice visits and am richer to the tune of one stuffed hippo, a book (thanks Bab's and Al - good luck tomorrow), a yellow smiley balloon (that will probably give me drug induced nightmares) and some almost rotten fruit with leftover bits of mass produced flapjack. Ta all. Well, all except Julie. Try harder FFS girl.
I've just discovered the bag of fluid I finished 30 mins ago, wasn't the last for the day and I've been given one more that'll be topping me up for 8 hours yet.
The Melphalan infusion went fine today, though, I've had a couple of bouts of nausea and vomitting tonight. I blame the mince and tatties myself. Luckilly, being Glaswegian, I've got the art of the 'casual vomit' inbuilt already.
Hoping for a good night's sleep. Tomorrow, Day -1, is marked down as a 'rest day'. After that, the door's shut for a wee while.
Laters....off for a pee.
Joe-sorry to hear about the puke. I've never told you this before but once when I was 6 and three quarters I too puked all over the back of my dad's upholstery on the new Ford Anglia. I say upholstery but actually if you cast your mind back-way back-then you'll remember that the Ford Anglia had not so much upholstery as a bench. Hard wooden bench, designed by Calvinists in Detroit. I'm not sure if it was the Ford Anglia or another such model that my parents used when they drove from Cumnock to Aberdeen on their honeymoon. And stopped off in Stirling for the night in order to 'break up the journey'. Imagine saying to someone these days "I'm off to Aberdeen but I'll spend the night in Stirling on the way there so as to not overstress myself." Wise people back then. No bewailing the fact that they were 'time poor'. Now you can 'do' Scotland in under 48 hours on a Contiki bus-and do most of the people on the bus whilst you're there!
ReplyDeleteNo Joe, you just got to 'savour' this time, a "time for everything" including puking and blogging. However nowhere in the bible does it mention anything about a 'time for filling up water containers with your own pee.' It might mention water containers in Genesis and now I come to think of it wasn't Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt when she asked the nurse for another container? I get mixed up wth this stuff so maybe somebody reading this might give an ecclesiatsical second opinion.
Anyway Joe got to go-keep your pecker up-just don't let the staff catch you.
Kenny
Oh Kenny,
ReplyDeleteYou've told that Ford Anglia puke story thousands of times. Thousands. Wee Alan just sent me a text, "FFS - Not the Ford Anglia Puke Story!".
I'm with your folks though. Aberdeen to Glasgow, we often treat ourselves to a wee nights stay in Cumbernauld. Takes the edge of the whole thing.
Joe.
