Hello Lampwork, what'cha knowing I've come to watch your flowers growin' Ain't you got no rhymes for me? Doo-ait-n-doo-doo, feeling groovy Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy   Welcome back. How are feeling?   My sleeping patterns are off so I found you and Claire as soon as you post.   Get some sleep people! Your lives are upside down!   😒 😞 😴   ... View more

Hi Claire   Sleeping is for the healthy and wall flowers. Makes it difficult for the family to visit when it suites you though. You may need to work on that.   🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗   I thought I had an emoticon for Jazz hands, but I think maybe it's a hug. Not inappropriate though.   🤥   I'm off to bed now. My family is here at home with me, so I guess I'm on their schedule. Hopefully we will both see a white carpet outside in the morning. You may need to trade in your pumps for uggies.   💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃   Keep on smiling, keep on dancing.   Ciao ... View more

Hi Kate   Thanks for the reading material. Is this this your revenge for me sending all those empty virtual books to @Lehiatus  and @Lampwork54 ? You have to send me content! 🤓   Well done. Better effort than I. This should keep me away from Dr Google for a bit.   The chemo has been mostly tame since the first day. I've been feeling a bit over stimulated today. I think it may be the nausea drugs, only for two days after the oxaliplatin. I was told it was a stimulant and couldn't take it close to bed time.   🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨   We got snow in Canberra tonight. So cold on chemo-ridden fingers, but worth it. Nice treat.   Cheers   Phil ... View more

Ginger Rogers,   Welcome back. Good to hear you're up and about. Been curious. I hope we brightened your middle of the night.   I'm wide awake. Fell asleep a few hours ago watching a movie. Now up and about. Not chemo related, I don't think.   It snowed in Canberra tonight. Exciting stuff. It started settling on the ground but only a little. Unfortunately because of the chemo, the door handle was so cold to touch. And the snow was like electricity falling on my fingertips . Weird!   Take care Ginger! Try to sleep!   Yeah! I know! Right? ... View more

Hi Sch   I knew about tingling in fingers and feet. The feet was a shock first time this morning. I step off the bath mat and it started to feel like I had insects crawling under my feet.    My treatment is only 3 months long. They did tell me that longer treatments take longer to recover and excessively long treatments may never recover.   Now that my hands are warm, my nails are back to normal colour .   Cheers   Phil ...

Hi Claire   I think your thread has been hijacked. I hope you and Lampwork are enjoying the photos. Lots of cuteness been thrown around.   I hope you guys are resting well.   After a crap chemo initiation, I'm dealing well today. Keeping warm to fight off the tingling fingers. It's annoying that playing guitar makes them cold. I can't play for long, but I have seemed to have lost precision which is nice.   Take care and get well soon.   Cheers   Phil     ... View more
