Well, I suppose that I should have expected something like this. It’s a long, hard road that will take me to the end of my treatment and it isn’t going to be easy.<\/p>\n
Well, never mind.<\/p>\n
… who was crowing yesterday about how well he was feeling and how the crisis might be behind him?<\/p>\n
Yes, we’ve had a relapse today, haven’t we?<\/p>\n
After lunch I was sitting down here in my room doing nothing very much by the way of anything, and suddenly I came over all tired. And not a simple “tired” where you yawn and go to sleep, but a huge physical “tired” that totally wiped me out. It was as if the batteries had gone completely flat.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t just a simple case of lying down on the bed either – I was under the covers totally flat-out and I didn’t have the strength to move even a finger. And that was that.<\/p>\n
First thing that happened when I awoke at about 17:00 was that I was violently sick. Having anticipated this (because I’ve been here before and more than once too) I’d brought the waste bin (which was lined with a bin liner) to the side of the bed. Thus we were able to avoid a catastrophe.<\/p>\n
I also had to struggle (and it was a struggle too) to the bathroom a couple of times during the evening.<\/p>\n
All in all, not a very successful second half of the day at all. I’m feeling quite miserable and depressed about this, just when I thought that I was doing so well.<\/p>\n
I had a reasonable (well, for these days) sleep last night but not the mega-sleep that I was expecting after my exertions of the last couple of days. An early breakfast, followed by a shower, and then to tidy up downstairs because it’s moving day.<\/p>\n
My new room, the one where I’ll be staying for the rest of my time here, is small and tired. But the bed is extremely comfortable, for which I am very grateful and there’s a sink. It looks out over the rear of the premises, which might be good in some respects but it’s also the point nearest the church and the flaming bells.<\/p>\n
Still, you can’t have everything, I suppose.<\/p>\n
Dodging the impressive rainstorms, I nipped into town for my baguette<\/em> for lunch – and then it all started to go wrong for me.<\/p>\n Well, I suppose that I should have expected something like this. It’s a long, hard road that will take me to the end of my treatment and it isn’t going to be easy.<\/p>\n Well, never mind.<\/p>\n
