11th Jan 2009 - Better Days

Delaying my treatment was definitely a good move and I'm improving each day. It's really nice too being able to enjoy my food and drink for a few days, so I'm making the most of that. I'm really not looking forward to being in 'crappy land' for a couple of weeks, but hopefully if I can stay clear of any bugs, I will have a week or so when I feel reasonable.

The only thing that's bugging me at the moment is a painful arm, which I'm guessing is phlebitis, or inflammation of the vein. It's been sore since I had the cannula inserted on Christmas Eve, but now it really hurts if I stretch for something or forget and rub my arm. I've got another four treatments to go, so I hope the veins are going to hold up - we'll see on Thursday.
