After chemo on Monday I was more or less bouncing around for the first 3 days, on the whole, feeling pretty good. On Thursday I began to feel very tired and had a bad taste in my mouth. I dozed off a lot. The feeling of tiredness had already somewhat abated on Friday and today, Saturday, I feel fairly bright.
On Thursday or Friday I experienced some ringing in my left ear for some moments and at another time, some type of zig-zag shimmering effects in my vision. Both these experiences were very brief, the ear noise probably a matter of seconds, and the vision distortions disturbed me for some minutes.
Since my previous posts about pain, I’ve been there and back again. It has been quite a constant problem that seems to move and vary in intensity and character around mostly my right lower torso. I walked a kilometer or so on Friday and wasn’t happy about it at all. At the moment it doesn’t seem possible to be comfortable for extended periods, although I am basically functional and still sleeping well. I will be trying a new pain control regime tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

While you fingers are uncrossed and tapping away on the keyboard I need a memory jog please – access codes for syscp – when you can – apart from that interruption I hope you have a restful Sunday in preparation for the next chemo session on Monday.

W, I just sent you the global warming cartoons.
A bit of a worry that you were feeling fine until I visited on Thurs, don’t you think? %-\
Hopefully you have been able to maintain the Friday improvement.
