Wow, the difference between waking up to a lady with a needle trolley and your 3 beautiful sons is incredible. So incredibly happy to be home at last.
While in hospital I met people who have been there for months at a time, their strength amazes me, I have no idea how they do it. It makes my 2 weeks pale in comparison.
The trickiest thing so far is keeping on top of the "drug regimen". Someone going from never taking medication to some ridiculous amount of tablets per day that I have to take at certain times then add to that nebulisers and "mixes", it's all a bit foreign. I used to wonder why people needed pill boxes but now I get it!
As for the anxiety I managed to get through the first day without trying to take over the household again let's see if I can keep it up. If Jason has anything to do with it I'll have no choice but to be couch bound with everybody waiting on me hand and foot.
As for how I feel today physically the cough is getting worse again, I'm 3 days after Chemo and still no vomitting but I think the fatigue is starting. Emotionally happy to be home but still can't comprehend my new reality.
By the way, bought a you beaut juicing machine and plan to use it tomorrow so I will let you know how it goes. Apparently juicing is considered to be a great way to get nutrients and vitamins when you are figthing cancer.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP xxx

Judy,
ReplyDeleteYour strength is amazing and I hope and pray that you get through this... I have nothing of real importance to say..I can't begin to understand what you're going through firstly as a woman and secondly as a mother. Surround yourself with good people, I am sure you have lots of support.. I'm thinking of you...xx
Hi Judy,
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know that if you need a "Mummy" to hug you during this journey of yours that I will be there in a flash..
Love and Prayers are with you and Jason and the boys..

Hi Judy,
ReplyDeleteBoth Julius and I were terribly sad to hear the news from David. You are one of the most sweetest, kind, caring people we know and we hate to think of the pain you are going through. But I also know that you are incredibly tuff and you will fight this! If there is anything we can do to help you or Jason please let us know. We pray for you and your boys. Love to you all. Nat and Jules Rolph xoxo
