Re: I've had my chest x-ray
Ffosse, we pay to have jobs done around the house. We paid to have our TV and sound bar installed. We realise most jobs are too physically demanding, so we pay someone else to do those jobs for us. It's only money after all and we sometimes have to prioritise what needs doing first.

Going anywhere involves a taxi - and, even though I was fortunate enough to be awarded PIP, I still resent the taxi fares.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray
OK - I just received my Tesco order and it looks like a tiny amount of food for £44 or thereabouts.I've been online here since about 9 this morning and have done little else. Tomorrow I've got my nurse at 11 and they want some blood. Not quite sure why this time as I don't have chemo for another 13 days.
Right about now is when the pain kicks in, mostly my left neck, shoulder and back. I'm not taking any tablets until bedtime, though as today I'm having wine with my meal. I've just opened a Malbec - half today and half tomorrow before it goes off. I'm having it with sausages in onion gravy, baby potatoes, tenderstem broccoli and some carrots. All fairly easy to cook.
Just had a sip of my Malbec - nice and smooth. I know you like white wines - do you have a favourite?

I’ve been trying to plant some geraniums this morning, I only had a dozen but had to do them in two stages, I was so out of breath. I have my chemo again tomorrow so I think I will ask about this breathlessness, I think it’s one of the worst side effects.

At least you are eating well.
