All slight daunting, but I'm okay. I think the worst part was the cold cap. Your hair is wet, and run freezing cold water around your head. You have brain freeze for the first 10 minutes; it hurts. Helen and I played Dobble to take my mind off it. Beat her 29-24. The second game completely whopped her ass and won 39 - 11. The time went very quickly, thankfully. The nurse was great and went on holiday to Bideford.
I consider myself lucky as another lady there had a tumour of 30cm on her ovaries, and the chemo tried to reduce the size before operating. Thank god mine has been taken out. By the time all the drugs were in, I did feel very groggy and sick and red wee! The boys would think that is so cool! The wig lady came round, went and got my free wig. If you can be pleased with a wig, I am. It really does look like my hair. Same colour. I felt numb with it all until I Facetimed Em, and Mum had a tear as Mum started crying, and Em's voice broke, which set me off. Mum is so frail now and doesn't understand everything, so I have to be really upbeat when I talk with her.
Now at Home Farm, just relaxing. I was expecting a horse bucket next to me but got the mop bucket instead. I must be going up in the world. Still feel weak and a bit wobbly, but my mind is sound, if that is the right way to explain it. Had lunch, and it all has stayed down. Haven't spoken to the boys will do that tomorrow. Our little unit is so close; they know me, and I haven't got the energy to be Mum at the mo. All really good and just focusing on bringing past the next few days and then back home.
