INJECTIONS 33 34 35

INJECTIONS 33, 34 & 35

I have not posted lately due to Internet problems.  Back on at last.  No major changes in the last few weeks tho the journey is starting to feel tiresome at times; not a plodder, I just plod on.

My platelets are down again and at my last hospital appt they still did not have the results of my CT scan, so what’s new?
My chest has got worse and the smallest of exertions leave me breathless and dizzy. Going to the docs this week to be referred to asthma clinic.
My mood has been somber so I have cut down on the codeine, which has put some balance in my troubled mind but at the cost of having the intense pain back.
I seem to have got used to the dry and sore mouth because I am eating better, getting quite fond of different flavored nails lol. At least my weight has stabilized.

Not too long to go now and I am more than glad to have stuck it through. Definitely worth killing this virus.

INJECTION 32

INJECTION 32

Another week has gone by and there hasn’t really been any major change.  The same old friends of tiredness, low mood, and the constant pondering of the priorities of life.  It seems to me that my life long constructs, understanding and emotions have been thrown into a large cauldron which I watch go round and change.  It helps to just watch it go round and accept what the stew turns out at the end.  I have changed, there is no doubt of that, but maybe it will be a more complete me that comes out the other side.
My chest is my major concern at present, breathlessness and constant pain on my left side, and I cant talk and walk at the same time; some tell me to ‘keep walking’ hehehe.

On the positive side, my appetite seems better and I am eating more regular meals.  I have called a halt on the chocolate and cakes as they didn’t seem to have a positive effect on my mood; fruit and veggies are back on the menu.

Number 33 due later.  The kids are coming later so I am looking forward to that.  At this point it is only too easy to isolate myself.
