Not much change

I am getting really frustrated with this sickness. For a small period I feel like its getting better but as soon as I move it comes back again. Managed to have a shower  and get dressed in the morning but still only managed about 20 minutes downstairs with Mum at lunch time before going back to bed.

Still feeling rubish

Slightly better day, managed to eat a bit of lunch and a bit more tea. But still spent most of the day in bed. I did manage to get downstairs when Mum and Cath visited and spoke to a few people on the phone, but its really frustrating doing nothing and feeling sick all the time, and I really cant face visitors feeling like this. This has to get better soon.

Feeling Really Rubish

Sorry my mum didn't blog yesterday as her chemo has made her feel really sick, (maybe Saturdays bike ride didn't help) We tried to celebrate Mothers Day but it was too much so we had a picnic at home instead of out walking the dog and mum spent the rest of the day resting.
Today has been a repeat and tomorrow will probably be the same but at least this round of Chemo is over now.
Hopefully Mum will be back to blogging in the next day or two

Sophie

Good Bike Ride

Went out for a bike ride with the Triathlon Club this morning. Bradley Stoke to Wotton Under Edge.

Found one of the hills a bit steep but managed 17 miles there. Stopped for cake and a drink and met Sophie for my lift home. John and Phil carried on with them and cycled home as well. It was a really nice morning to be out on the bike.

But maybe it was a bit much felt sick again this afternoon in spite of resting a lot and then more Chemo tablets this evening

Missing Ted and more

I will be honest my mood the last week as not been brilliant, to say I miss Ted is the understatement. Being ill I have spent so much time with him. You see I sit in a chair where the feet come up, with a blanket on, the TV is in the corner and Ted was always in front of it in his bed, Teds mobility was not good, so if he needed anything he would whine for help. I miss watching him sleep, picking him up to go outside, he may not have done much, but he was there, he always has been. Some of the tears I have shed are for Ted, but it has opened up the floodgates and  allowed me to just cry, which I think has been good for me.
Today has been good. Janet gave me a lift to the leisure centre to meet Cathy, it is great going there and seeing people. It was great telling Helen about doing the Brown sea Island swim which Chris has got me on,  I am very very excited about this.  It is 2 miles and I am only doing half of the island but it is something I wanted to do, but never thought possible, but with Chris help I should do it. The old Julie was going to register for the full Island swim, then gave up on the dream when the tumour arrived. Sorry for rambling but  I feel in a chatty mood.
Cathy and I had  a cup of tea before delivering more money to Brain Tumour Support . Then home for a sleep. In the afternoon a dog walk with mum, which was just what I needed...
Chemo now, which I am not looking forward too, my hair is coming out again and my eyebrow are thinning, but I am still smiling...

Penny Bohn

We actually only did one day, why you might ask, while it was just not right for us.We did stay one night and met some wonderful people, but I was ready to come home after Supper last night. Sarah the nurse who was there supporting us in the evening was brilliant and she understood. There was people there from all over England. I  did learn a lot and I learnt a lot about myself and what I really believe in.
Back home today , a walk at Severn Beach with mum and dad, then this afternoon a small cycle ride, then a chat with Janet. A lovely day.
Chemo starts this evening...

hospital yesterday , going to Penny Bohn today

Yesterday was busy, I went to Glebe House in the morning for a visit with Bertie, Megan and Seya.
We stayed there 2 hours chatting to everyone, it was great.
I also had an hospital appointment, we thought chemo nurse, but it was the consultant, any way all is well for now, checking that I am coping with the chemo. I do find it very hard, but life was never meant to be easy!! The appointments ran late and by the time I got home , just felt to tired to walk.  I spent the evening in bed and fell asleep, just very tired....
Today I met Sylvia at the mall for a cup of tea, it was great.
I am now off to Penny Bohn with Sally so no blogging till Thursday!!
