HOSPITAL DAY 1-FIRST SESSION OF CHEMOTHERAPY

 Today was a full on day. I woke up from 7 or 8 o'clock. Took my meds. Ate Breakfast. Got ready to come to the hospital. Checked into my room. The room is amazing! It's quite spacious, there's a bed, table, chairs, sofa bed, bathroom, cupboard/draws, and side table to put food on. The nurse came and asked me about myself and my vision and other health stuff. Then she did blood pressure/temperature. The blood pressure was slightly high due to my hyperness. Then I took paracetamol as my arm was killing. I had the first bit of chemo through the line with some blood being taken. It was really cool! Then I had to be attached to a drip. I had 2 chemos through the drip. It wasn't a fun experience as I couldn't move around easily. It was so annoying1 i was able to do everything I needed to though. 

I reacted to the chemotherapy quite well. Cancer isn't easy with my other condition. I guess I am just taking it one step at a time. That's all that matters right? I was annoyed at the beeping noises that the machine made while I was speaking on the phone. It was quite scary at first, but the nurses and docs are all super friendly. I had like 3 different chemos that day. I was just chilling on the bed though. I even ate and drank while hooked up to the drip. It's quite a cool machine though. I press the buzzer to call them to stop the beeping. 

That's all for now though.

I was okay because they gave me anti-sickness through the line. Then I was just chilling as the last chemo was like 2hrs long. I jut talked to my squad- you know who you are. Also a nurse came and told me I could donate my hair to the wig people, as long as it's nine inches. You just need to tie it into a plait and cut it with scissors. It's really amazing that they use real hair to make them. Next I had some new meds. Then at lunch time the food came nice and warm. I had pizza, chips, and onion rings. it was delicious! Then another nurse came and told me about some diet stuff and not eating food that has germs in it. Or food from the microwave. 

I had dinner. That was amazing. It was a veggie chicken burger, and a chocolate sponge with ice-cream.

    Ooh pizza and chips sounds SO good right about now :P those machines beeping away can sometimes be a little alarming, I feel immune to the sound now as I have spent a lot of time with family members in hospital and also used to volunteer there. It is amazing that they make the wigs using real hair - glad you have your squad to talk to and help pass the time :D

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 ...
