....................
Walked down to the docs and back again this afternoon.. went to renew my cyclizine and dermal 500 prescriptions .. one's an anti sickness remedy .. the other's a gentle cream to wash with. Thwe walk wasn't too bad .. a few little rests on the way there and back but not too bad. There was a nice feel in the air again .. the atmospherics were atmospheric I guess which made it nicer. It felt warmer than it has been too which was nice .. though I don't feel the cold that much and have been quite surprized occasionally when people have been saying how cold it is and being surprized that I've been out in a cardigan rather than a coat as extra to keep warm. Certainly didn't need one this afternoon or in the early evening.
Came back to the flat .. left me papers here then pottered over to Tesco. Will soon be cooking a little .. I've some lovely bowls that can double as plates from the league of friends charity shop at the hospital to use .. and some lovely mugs that look like half a lemon from the same place to have my soups and drinks in. They were a set of a jug and mugs but I guess someone wanted the jug but not the mugs as that had gone. I'd liked the mugs for a couple of weeks but didn't want the jug so was really pleased when I went in one day and saw that the mugs were for sale separately. Guess the person thought they would have their lemonade in glasses rather than mugs.
Really carried too much back from Tesco but still managed it. It was a bit on the heavy side I guess .. but the shoulder bag from the Spar shop at the hospital helps. My breathing wasn't too bad though. I get told off a bit about the amount I carry .. but I think it's quite good exercise for me as long as I don't over do it .. and most of the time I don't think I do .. though there are occasional times.
ho hum!!!
Anyway, so far it's been ok. I do remember the early days though when I just about used to collapse as I got in. It's much easier now .. though I did have one bad day a few days ago and that was my fault .. though I do get breathless quite easily. Today was ok though .. walking both ways and doing the shopping. It has it's difficulties but today, given that, was so much better.
Didn't do quite as much cleaning/sorting as I'd planned cause this morning wasn't so good .. was wondering if I was going to sneeze and end up back in hospital .. I have a little plastic folder with three days worth of pills in minus the cyclizine .. the cyclizine are on the ward trolley when it comes round anyway .. it's the MST and cellcept that I really need to make sure that I have with me. Next I need to make sure that I have a letter written so that the medics can read about my sneezing/spasms etc without having to talk about them. It's always difficult because it comes on so suddenly. Last time I was rather puffy when I got up in the morning and it didn't go down .. but I had no idea that it meant that I was due another stay in hospital. Didn't know that til the pain kicked in.
Infact I was calling an ambulance very soon after saying I thought I would be ok to go for my out patients appointment that morning. Can't remember if there was yet another sneeze or if it was to do with the previous one. Anything I say either way would just be guessing cause I really can't remember .. can't remember much once the pain levels increased except the ambulance guys getting me in the wheelchair and into the ambulance and off to hospital.
Anyway, off to bed soon .. do the note in the morning .. have a little plastic pocket to put that in too .. just like the tablets. Will keep them together in a larger one.
Wih I'd managed to do more today .. but there you go .. start again tomorrow.
