First feed through my tube tonight and i am so nervous...

Firstly if anyone tuned in to watch me on look north tonight i appologise but it had to be postponed til Mon nite due to the snow. How dare the snow be more interesting than me lol. I have just put flash dance on to try and distract myself from waiting for my first naso feed. I bet your thinking i am bonkers getting so nervous when i have had chemo and radiotherapy. I would hate to be the nurse right now cos i am very scared. The new room is smaller but i have a huge bathroom which makes up for it. The tv doesn't work but the internet does so i am happy to have one until i go back into a normal room. I will be in this room until i find ot the result of the swabs and if they are negative they can't move me til another patient goes home. I think though i am going to enjoy it in here cos right now i am using the bathroom lots and this one is perfect for me and my dripstand. If the swab is positive then i will start treatments which the nurse is going to discuss if i do need them cos thery are meant to be a bit nasty. I looked at my mouth earlier and it is full of blood and cuts and like open wounds on my tounge so that explains why my liquid medicines are burning my mouth out.

Dr Smith is doing the ward rounds this week so i gave him an update of how i was today. I just explained about my mouth being the problematic side effect at the moment. He had a look and said i am keeping it very clean which made me feel a bit better. I was worried that i wasn't using the mouth washes enough but i obviously am lol. I made him lagh as well when i explained that one of my meds tasted of vomit last night. Dr Smith will be back over the weekend to check how i am getting on and that is fine by me lol.

I am going to go back to my film now and wait for my feed
tik tok tik tok....

  4. Well Lauren, at least you have something going your way; a better bath room. Its amazing how a bath room can be such a priority in a womans life :). I don't like sores in my mouth, so what you are going through must be awful. In it all you give us something to be proud of. You are handling this soooo well. Well done girl. We love you. xxxx
