I'm so over being sick, we can stop now?

Have you ever had one of those mystery stomach bugs that lands you in bed for a week with only constant trips to the bathroom to break the monotony?
Now add to that a good dose of chemo and you may get an idea of how I feel.
I'm over it.. sigh.

On the good news front my temperature has now stabilised at around 36C and I should be out of here in a couple of days. Of course that doesn't mean I won't be back within days with a new infection. One can only hope. It's the naturally occurring bugs that live within me that are the problem. Other peoples coughs and colds are apparently not a threat.

I haven't really eaten much since Friday, I can't bear to even look at food. The stuff they serve here isn't all that great and at home I've been eating really soft food to protect my mouth. In hospital the "soft" food is just the normal menu put through a blender.

So I got Sarah to bring me some "Up & Go" meal replacement drinks which she put into the little fridge outside my room and marked them with my name. That didn't stop them from being stolen within just a few hours of being placed there. The staff were quite annoyed about it and with my room being in the isolation part of the ward it can only be assumed that another patient's visitors have taken them. I can't imagine what sort of person would steal food from cancer patients. Grrr! Had I been strong enough I was tempted to check the other rooms bins for the empties.. but hey I guess that's life. Sarah will bring me some more and I will remove the straws from the packs and only place them in the fridge an hour or so before I need them.

Ok time to put the laptop away, I think I just reached the end of my string and need to rest for a while..
