having some quiet time

this last week literally gave me sharp stabbing pains in my head so I hunkered down to medtate and keep my stress levels down.

My sister's whiplash is improving but my car is still out of commission and I am trying to let go all thoughts of the radiographer's report on my cat scan. They would not let me look and the glimpse i managed to catch meant nothing to my neurologically uneducated eyes. So i have to wait until Tuesday. The first day of my last chemo cycle. It is true what they say, this too shall pass.

Yesterday i finished mock ups of four print ads for the radio station and i think two of them are actually good while the other two are okay, just a bit pedestrian but really good artwork could make them - unfortunately my own sketching/painting is intermittent, occasionally inspired generally just run of the mill.

It has been four months since they nuked my brain and i am dizzy and feeling oddly weak again, the scary thing about radiation is it works slowly and makes edits in your system without warning, sits for a while and then starts up again, a bit like a flower blooming.

I am doing my best, went to a fishfry last night and going to the beach in about an hour. I went last week, walked into the water and fell flat on my face. The sea, the only place to fall, even kinder than love!

How did your Mum fare in the accident Dorielle? and how long is the cycle of chemo going to last?

Fingers crossed for Tuesday

hi Trish, my mum was unhurt and continues to annoy both my sister and me successfully - she could write a book on reasons why other people should be getting us to the hospital etc and bemoaning the fact that neither of us (me or sis)feel much like cooking so lunch and dinner no longer just appear at regular intervals.

I am working really hard on my attitude...really!
Bless your heart!! Most of us cannot imagine what you have been going through and continue to experience. Seems that you post only the brightest/bestest news in your blogs, so I'm concerned that you aren't taking full good care of yourself--maybe? Even though you tell us here that you are taking care (?), I remain unconvinced. Please take time to be completely, totally emotionally selfish and overwhelmingly self-indulgent! Please?! For us fellow CS'ers? (And, know that you DESERVE that!)

Glad you went to the fish-fry yesterday and are planning a beach trip today. However, we hope that you watch yourself carefully in the sea; don't let it lull you into a sense of false security/comfort! (It's the Sirens, you know!)

Take good care of yourself, Dorielle. Those of us here can wait if we need to!

Love,

J & D kiss kiss
She is probably tut tutting and thinking that you are both just being wilfull laugh wave
