GETTING DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL

 It's me again.

This was the best day of my life. Going back home was amazing. I ate my toast and honey first. Then I ate some sandwiches later on. Drank my water. OMG in the morning, I had all my meds. It was actually an enjoyable experience. Also, a nurse told me you can't do piercings after 3-4 months. A relative has been banging on about it for ages. Also, with chemotherapy you can't get pregnant. It's a risky thing. As well as that, I can't sit in the sun for long amounts of time. I have to be in shaded areas. I have to put SPF 50 on, which protects the skin. 

There was a whole thing about eating food. It was called an Neutropenic diet. This is a diet, which allows the red/white blood cells in the body to repair themselves. This could be to fight infections or get blood around the body. This diet will help me to make my immune system stronger. I will have to eat the freshest food out there. I can't eat take-aways, as some restaurants might not serve food that is fresh.  I can't reheat food in the microwave too much. If it's fresh and not left in the fridge for too long; then I can eat it from the microwave. 

The docs came and asked me how I was doing. They checked me out, and did my observations. That's blood pressure, heart beat, and temperature. The whole medical team came to see me if I had any questions to ask before I went home. Teamwork makes the dreamwork! Then another doc came to give me some better anti-sickness meds. Before I left the doc came and explained how to do my after-care at home. All the jabs/meds I needed to take. 

Then I just chilled, prayed/talked to God. I had to wait for my dad to come pick me up. I was super excited to go home. I missed the family. I'm gonna have to go back to the day-care for more chemo though. It's going to be next Tuesday. Can't wait to see the brilliant docs and nurses!

I got home and started doing some planning for uni. Used my software for the first time. It's called MindView. It's really cool. You can make mind-maps on it. 

Guys, read on and enjoy this little bit of writing!

Sit back in your hoodies/joggers and relax yourselves.

RINGING THE BELL

 Hey guys, Ringing the bell was a special experience for me. It was all about celebrating how far I'd come as a survivor of cancer. I got to the hospital and in the waiting room I was waiting for my sisters and brother and nieces. I wore a pink dress as pink is the main colour that represents cancer. I had to read a poem and got a certificate. I rang the bell and everyone cheered. Then I took a whole bunch of pictures with my siblings and mom and nurses. It was really exciting to get to do this as I have been waiting for so long. Now it's on to the next chapter of my life. I'm grateful for everything the nurses and doctors did for me so I could get a clean bill of health. I went home so proud of achieving this moment, which I'll remember forever.  That's all I've got for now. Enjoy.  Vote. Comment. Share.

BEING HOSPITALISED FROM 8TH TO 14TH OCT AND 19TH TO 21ST OCT

 Hi my amazing readers, Long time no see. I ended up in hospital cuz I wasn't feeling too great. I kept sleeping and my whole body was on fire. The pain was crazy. I went in and was admitted straight away. I was put on IV Paracetamol, fluids, had blood transfusions, had some medication for my sore mouth. Basically I had the full shebang. I had to be hooked up to machines, which wasn't fun, it was like Linc the Sink in Prison Break all over again. Remember when he was in the electric chair? I hated it, but it was making me better. I had to be moved to a bigger bay area where I had to share with another girl, I didn't talk much cuz I didn't want to get too attached. It's sad because you don't know what could happen to a person on your ward. I was constantly sleeping due to being on Amitriptyline, This is a medicine, which knocks you out so essentially it takes away all your pain. Then I had this jap called Deltaparin, which stops you from getting blood clots. The ...
