It's Tuesday morning and I have chemo at 11:30 and then lunch out then check into the Royal between 2 and 3 this afternoon. All my plans to get ready early have evaporated and I have been running around packing. All the stuff I thought of taking is looming large so I may cut back and get Joyce to bring it in in smaller batches. It's a bit embarassing how much I have set aside. The help I got from Angela and Jacky&Tony with things to do have left me overloaded. I have coloring books, paints, puzzles, books, crossword and suduko for years not weeks. Thanks guys. I've got pictures from home, pictures I have printed up and pictures in a funky film strip like frame. I have party lanterns, PJ's in coordinating colors, slippers and shoes.....bags and bags full. I also want to take all my medical notes and books, the 'dr talker' of course. That's a excercise book that we have written notes about all the meeting with doctors, nurses, Judy etc. so that later when someone asked "what did so and so say" I can remember.
I'm still feeling no repeat no effects from the four days of chemo I have recieved, No nausea no ....other stuff. that they though I may have. Nothing. It's a bit scary that I doing this good. Now I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth but still. Will shower shortly and get out to get Jo's computer sorted for wireless broadband, she is working at a distance and this in hampering her ability to get some stuff done. So I get to play computer geek one last time. Unless of course the hospital needs some work.....hhmmm.. I may take my multi tool just incase.
They have discouraged my thoughs of taking a piece of piano wire to fix my catheter. They definitly put the boots to Gene and Jo's idea of hooking me up to a 'gurney' to blow it out. Shoes actually started telling us how to turn the body so that an acidental air bubbble in the cath can be sucked out without passing throught the heart to lungs. Little bubbles are okay I've watched several working their way down my IV and into my body. shoes says there are a few things they will try when I'm in the hospital to try to get the fibrin flap off the end of the cath. But it may be that they just have to jab me for blood tests every day! As a techy, not having my device working to spec and then jabing me is adding insult to injury. Sheesse.
Just saw larry shirt Joyce pass by.... watch for commnets with photo's shortly.
more later

Can't believe I'll be in Brisbane in just a little over 2 weeks! In the meantime...lots of hugs to you and Joyce!
After a day of WRIT (Fundementals of Writing) lectures, I have noticed all the little mistakes in your blog. It is very annoying. I was almost tempted to print it, edit it and resumbit it for you until I realised that my lectures are obviously getting to me.
And no. I am not so sure that that is a good thing.
Yes. I am a square. Yes. My anal-ness is annoying me. Yes. I realise that pointing out your spelling/gramma mistakes is probably not nice/clever/encouraging.
I am in a mood. The mood that makes me want to find something solid and fleshy and then beat it to a pulp.
It's not a good mood to be in.
Anyway. I shall see you in cyberspace.
(Is your good chemo luck making up for your bad luck with timing/waiting in waiting rooms?)
We'll find out next week on chrisgohere.blogspot.
hehe. I am such a square.
Sian.
ps. I realise that my own english is not perfect. It's the opposite in fact.
Can I say hypocrite? Yes. But I can't spell it.
xxoo
