BEING HOSPITALISED FOR A WEEK-MAJOR INFECTION

 Hey again, It's been a super duper long time since I last wrote. I was in the hospital. I got a bad case of side effects from chemotherapy. The side effects are: Vomiting Loose stool Feeling sick Dizziness Headaches Sleeping- like a whole lot.  Blindness Feeling cold all the time.  So, on Thursday night I started reacting badly to the chemo. I had to go immediately to the hospital. I was so out of it. I had to be on IV Paracetamol and Morphine/Oramorph. I had a super high temp. It was 38. something. Then I had to cool myself down with water. After that, I had my jab. It was in the stomach this time. It wasn't too painful as I thought it would hurt badly.

MY CHEMOTHERAPY APPOINTMENT TODAY

The nurse re-dressed my line. Took some blood from it. Did chemo from it. Also, the line cleaning bit hurt so badly. She peeled the sticky stuff off my arm. It's like pulling off a wax strip, but slower. She cleaned it with alcohol. Stung so badly. I was like 'geez Louise' and 'God.' It burned.  Next thing that was done was the nurse asking me billions of questions on a form. Then the doc came to look at my mouth. It was killing loads. Some symptoms that have happened are: Coughing. Shortness of Breath. Dizziness. Headaches. Cramps. Pins and Needles.  It's all part of having low blood count or something. Then my blood clot jabs are gonna stop. My steroids a...
