The local anasthetic kills though, I was squeezing the bed covers when I had the million locals I had today!
Ooo ouch I can imagine.
You are doing so well Hev. You are a brave lady. Have a hug xxxx

Currently laying in a hospital bed, fully clothed listening to everyone snoring. Only came for (another) dressing change as i was still bleeding so didnt bring an overnight bag. I have phlebitis(sp?) in my arm, doc is worried i might get cellulitus, and i am still bleeding! Got here at 11pm, and they only just decided to keep me in. Got to have antibiotics and be reviewed in the morning!

Thanks you guys.

I was discharged about 1pm today.
Got about 4 hours of broken sleep.....the snoring didn't stop.
Had 1 1/2 slices of cold soggy toast for breakfast......!

Had my arm cleaned and dressed last night, and AGAIN this morning, and it's STILL bleeding.
It's not going to heal, because it's in the crook of my arm, every time I move my arm the line moves in and out, which is painful.
My arm is seizing up and quite painful because i'm having to hold it in a certain position. Got a hot pack on at the mo to try and help.
After chemo on Monday, i'm making them take it out, I deffinately cant deal with it any longer.

Thanks Vicki & Ailsa.

Well, if anything else can go wrong for me....it will!
Felt crap last night, and have developed a rash on my feet and hands. Worse on my feet, and just small raised bumps on my hand.

To top it off, we had to have an electrician out today (£40 for an hour!), as our electric kept tripping out all night. It turns out it's an appliance, so i've had to unplug everything, and test EVERYTHING 1 thing at a time to find out which it is.
We thought it was the cooker at first, cos we were using it when it tripped last night, but I think i've got it down to the tumble drier now.......which isn't as bad, cos at least it's summer.

Trying to smile and be happy

The rash sounds like hand foot syndrome..its one of the things my Mum's doctors told her to look out for..its a reaction to the chemo!
