first cycle is over...leaving
seventeen to go and so far not a side effect in sight., well my feet have turned into cushiony puffy things but that is a keep them elevated ,drink lots of water fix - done that before.they have added a very tiny dose of steroids back into my mix, helps protect the organs from lasting damage and the anti nausea shot works beautifully so I will be taking the tablets diligently from tomorrow morning. Why throw up if you do not have to?
Now I am 'free' til wednesday when i get my blood test to check platelet, haemoglobin and white cell counts - all expected to drop but must not drop too far. My job? Keep the bone marrow producing rich, strong, highly effective immune system cells, keep eating well and rest with just the right amount of exercise.
Last night i danced , used both feet and just shook some booty for ten minutes which was when I started to wobble and falling flat on said booty became a serious possibility . Tonight I will push for twelve mins - try reggae rather than disco jazz fusion. The left leg had trouble keeping up.
Had trouble sleeping the last two nights which is actually better than falling asleep mid sentence! And people take drugs for recreation... yeah I know the drugs are different but there is a great similarity in some of the FX euphoria, nodding out, feeling really really good, strong, happy healthy and none of it is real.
My butt is still so numb I thought my left arm had stopped moving altogether while I was showering this morning, until I realised I was sitting on my hand.How the hand slides under my butt, behind my back, folds back along itself with no warnng well I am in awe. lefty the escape artist!
Today I caught sight of this rather fragile looking bald woman coming towards me only to realise it was my own reflection. so I have to work on my presentation - in my mind I am making smooth strides and if not exactly flowing at least moving smoothly as though my parts work - again it was the left arm rather aimlessly floating off to the side that interrupted the illusion and the role of Claw has been a favorite for quite a while, so anytime I take my attention away, the hand contorts and looks poised to just do someting on its own. it twitches spastically and points at people..not much else.
And there is not much else going on, the next two days will bring more information on how I am processing my particular set of toxins..the two feral cats that look to me fir food are sniffing rudely when I go near them so there must be a je ne sais quoi about my scent that they pick up. i taste salty to me which pushes the need for lots of hydration and
i am suddenly sleepy so I am heading for bed immediately.
