Manageable day

Today has been manageable.

I have kept my drugs up and drank heaps of fluids to help flush this through. I have been feeling not to bad. Body is hot as my immune system fires up under the influence of the rituximab. I like this fiery feeling, it’s the body working hard to destroy the tumors. Not passive.

Nausea under control at the moment which is a bonus. Veins in my arms are really sore and they have just about had it. One more cycle left in them. They have “chorded”. Hard and sore and feel like chord. Not good.

Have been eating heaps of fresh fruit and vegetables and this helps with other bodily functions.

I worked a little till midday and then relaxed all afternoon reading and listening to music. Had a Nanna nap around 4 pm before family dinner. Dinner was quiet and relaxed. We listened to music, sang a bit and talked. Nice.

In bed early tonight and watching the football. Hoping for a similar day tomorrow.
