Iron Lady

I’ve been so sleepy this week that I missed blog day! Too tired to muster up the enthusiasm to write something. So so sleepy. I walk up the stairs and feel I need a nap, I have a shower and feel like I need a nap. It’s just one big nap time over here at the moment.

I personally blame my GP. Oh yeah, thats right, the one who I have previously slandered on here for telling me all this was just a migraine. Well, he called the other day to tell me that my blood results are anaemic. Now, google says 80% of chemo patients will become anaemic during their treatment so thats fine, but the reason I blame him is since he told me this it’s like I feel so so anaemic! As if anaemia is a now a feeling. People ask how I am feeling and I want to answer with ‘anaemic, I feel anaemic!’ So it’s his fault. I was happier not knowing. Ignorance is bliss and all that.

As a result of all this iron deficiency, i’ve not been up to much really. Lots of resting and trying to recharge my batteries, but feeling like a crappy iPhone after you’ve owned it for a year. You have it on charge all night, leave the house saying it has 100% battery and 2 hours later its back down to red! Wow, what a metaphor.

The highlight of my week was on Monday, when Tracy and I went over to see Ann and Alex. We had lunch and heard all about Alex’s Kilimanjaro climb. I unexpectedly got a present from Alex. But this was not just any ordinary present. It was the most thoughtful gift i’ve ever received, a box of absolute joy. It was a hamper, filled with lots of amazing, thoughtful gifts. I absolutely loved it and it also had a box set in it which has kept me busy for the past 2 days and that is ‘Girls’. Watched the first 2 series in 2 days. I love it.

I’ve also had my glam squad in. The one man band consisting of a wonderful lady called Kelly, who kindly comes and does her best to keep me pretty. Not as easy as it used to be folks! She did my hands, my feet, my eyebrows and even put a special potion on my eye-lashes. A bitter attempt to cling on to them just a little longer!

Thats all from me and my low in red blood cell’s self. Sorry for lack of content again, I blame the lack of iron. I’m going to get some sleep now. Prepare me for my day of naps tomorrow.

Hope
