I am out of bed today  ;D

My birthday yesterday was rather a washout but I've decided not to mark the event anymore. The obligation to have a "lovely day" just because it's a particular date is a bit silly. I'm not sure I've ever had a lovely day just because it's been my birthday; I always have plenty of other lovely days though. And doesn't a gift mean so much more when it's not been sent because it's felt necessary? Every day has its own special moment; sometimes it's simply a cup of fresh coffee in the garden. Sometimes it's a sneaky snog in the wine ailse in Waitrose. That'll do for me...always has and always will!

We took the stinky dog (actually he had a shower today but is still stinky) for a very gentle, short stroll this afternoon around the block. It felt good to me to be out of the house so I guess it felt good to Ralph, too.

And now I have a new Kindle Touch to play with after dinner...and I am really looking forward to cooking dinner, I miss doing that so much.

Again, thank you for all your messages, ladies xx

I know its frustrating Yasmin, as you say the chemo fog :hug:

I am sure in the next few days you will pick up and things will really improve by day 14.

You are doing the right thing not trying to fight it :hug:

Hello everyone

I think we shall be putting my birthday on hold as my second chemo has really knocked me out. It's day nine now and I've been mostly horizontal since day one with no sign of it changing. I'm giving in to it though...no point in trying to do anything.

What's pi**ing me off the most is not being able to plan anything, not even from one hour to the next and I am so bored! I'm unable to concentrate to read so I've downloaded audio books to my Ipod but can't even keep the chemo fog from that!

And poor Ralph is getting the brunt of it. One more chewed letter or crazy barking at the local cats and I'm putting him on Ebay. I know I'm reacting to him because of how I feel and not because of what he's doing and it's so unfair on him. I've told him I will try to shout at him less and we'll go for walks when I feel up to it...I hope he believes me. All that said, when he senses I'm feeling bad he doesn't leave my side and I love him so much for that...I just wish he could do it quietly!

Is it your birthday this weekend Yasmin?  If so, am hoping that it turns out to be a fab time (in spite of all the "urgh!") and sending you special birthday snoozles from me and Ross for the forthcoming celebration.

(And if it's not your birthday this weekend, still sending the snoozles cos they never come amiss!)

Afternoon, Yasmin. A bit quiet at work today so I thought I'd send you a quick one of these  :you go girl:

I posted your blog to my friend in California: you now have a cat/wildlife/food/culture/music/art/G&B chocolate crazy Hawaiian/Finnish woman following your blog too. She had a nasty run-in with TB a couple of years back - another survivor just happy to help ;

Rock on, Yasmin.  :hug:

PS as my username on Wordpress is tuftysmum, I thought you'd like a photo of my Tufty being, well, Tufty.  :Luv:

How you feeling today Yasmin?  Hoping all is still good and you're not having to spend yuor time horizontal again - at least, I hold that hope for the next few days, as I think this weekend approaching is your birthday weekend?  If so, got everything crossed that you don't feel wretched and can stand up, dance, eat chocolate and smooch with the TB.  :hug: :hug:

Good morning, everyone and thank you for all your messages.

I shall sort out a post on the blog today about the second chemo. It was ok in a "this is not ok but it kind of is" sort of way. I was shattered yesterday but am up and about today although plans have been scuppered by the arrival of "Aunt Flo". The Chemo Guy told me my periods would probably stop but I think I filtered out his "probably".

ToyBoy has to work for a couple of hours this morning and then if the sun hangs around maybe we'll sit and canoodle in the garden.

Morning Yasmin - I think today is your next Chemo session?   We're thinking about you, and sending you lots of warm and cosy vibes to keep you from feeling the chill.  Ross sends a snuggley snoozle which he says is as good as wearing a balaclava, socks and mittens (and it is - there are nights when I've had one and have roasted like a chestnut!)

Big hugs to you.    :hug: :hug: :hug:  Once this one is over - you're two down, and well on your way through the treatment.    :hug: :hug: :hug:

Hope the blood test went well, Yasmin.  Sending you big hugs this morning - no snoozle from Ross today as he's getting ready for the vet (pom-poms off today - big moment in his life) but he'll be back later to give you an account of his trials and tribulations.  Hoping yours are all manageable today.   :hug: :hug: :hug:  Thinking about you.
