Saturday 20 July 2019
I was exhausted and dizzy, and had a sick feeling in my stomach on waking. I took some Omeprazole and Metoclopramide before my morning shot of Clexane. I stayed in bed, sleeping or lying still. My stomach was very uncomfortable, but I didn’t have any proper nausea.
Pia brought me some porridge with organic blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. That helped to settle my stomach a little. I took my steroids at the same time.
Everyone else went out for a while and I kept on sleeping. I perked up slightly around 2 pm and got up to wash some organic grapes to snack on. I stayed in bed, but after a while decided to try a bit of Lego building. I got out the half-built VW camper that I’d started three weeks earlier. I managed to get it finished, slowly completing the build over the next four hours.
I came downstairs for dinner. Pia had made risotto, knowing from our experience of the last few weeks that I would probably be craving it. She was right and it was delicious! I was feeling quite out of it by the time I’d finished eating. We took a little stroll in the garden after that, which was refreshing. Before going to sleep for the night, I watched a little television with one of the girls.
I’d felt pretty rough all day, but it was good to have managed to do a bit of Lego and to have gotten out of bed for a little while.
