Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Well today I have to go to either John Lewis or the Apple store for an iPhone case. The Apple store is only a mile away, just past Lewis's.

The case I have is too thick and bulky so I'm looking for something sleeker. Not sure £55 for a leather case is worth it but I'll probably cave in. I'm either going for forest green or midnight blue or maybe red.

I wouldn't have believed it if someone told me 6 months ago that this was all I had to bother about.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

The good thing is,you are motivated to do some shopping,which would have been impossible ,when you were so poorly,..I haven't had chemo,but my God it knocks the stuffing out of you,plus all those nasty infections you had,Ffosse,..I had a operation as you know,I was on a HDU,for a couple of days,I know what it feels like to be poorly,..I am so pleased to read you are feeling better,..hope things continue to improve for you,...because I just know,that you have been through so much,God Bless You!!.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Thank you very much - it's nice to have people rooting for me.

I got a taxi up to the store (not thinking I would quite make it with my chest infection) but walked back which is all downhill.

I'm still taking this antibiotic course of pills. Apart from a bad cough, I don't think it has sapped my energy too much. In the past I know I would have had a fever too, necessitating a trip to the hospital but, fingers crossed, I don't feel too bad apart from a lack of sleep.

I cooked a small plate of bacon and scrambled eggs when I got home and ate an orange. I'm trying to stay away from bread and spreads - anything too calorific as I'm still a bit overweight.

Walking will help with that, though, if I only could get out a bit more. It was raining on the way back, just a few spots so I didn't really need the umbrella I'd forgotten to bring.

Oh, and I got my iPhone case - forest green in colour. It's much slimmer than the other one on what is already a bulky phone. It feels much better in my pocket now.

I wandered around the men's section of John Lewis but didn't buy anything. I was tempted by a jacket but it was £225, one of their designer ones and I wouldn't pay that much for a jacket, anyway. It's time I went back to charity shops in search of a bargain.

Glad you are feeling better Dreamy, you seem quite upbeat now.
Long may it continue. x

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Woke up at 11. I've developed a habit of not sleeping well one night and oversleeping the next.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Oh well at least you are sleeping Dreamy.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Yesterday I woke up at 7 after a 9 hour sleep. By 10am I was so tired that I went back to bed and slept until 6pm. Then I went back to bed at 10 and slept through until 4am.

I've been up since then, I have a nurses appointment at 11:40.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Dreamy I was starting to worry about you.
Thanks for updating.
You obviously need the sleep.
Take care, and I am glad you are OK.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

So today I have 2 appointments. First, a G.P. appointment at 10:30; secondly, a hospital appointment at 3:00 for an injection into my stomach.

I'm glad I managed to sleep well - too often I've slept badly the night before anything.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Glad you are sleeping well Dreamy.
Keep us posted.
Good luck for today.
