Good day

The cold/sinus infection is easing.  My throat isn't sore anymore.  Had a headache most of the day.

Canadian men won their first game at the Worlds in Victoria but the Canucks and Whitecaps disappointed.

Much better

Dozed most of the afternoon.  Feeling better.  My throat isn't hurting as often and I am coughing less.

Must be on the mend as I just spent a couple of hours on a new caching challenge.

GP

Saw my GP at 4 today.  He said I have a sinus infection and put me on antibiotics.  A headache was starting but I still stopped at my mini Safeway to fill the prescription.  The pharmacist said it interacted with one of my cancer drugs.  Luckily, the Dr. was still in the office and changed it to Amoxicillin Trihydrate.

I was done in so just came home and took a Tylenol.  My head was fine by the start of the Canucks game and I had some soup for dinner.

Rats

Felt better yesterday but not today.

Mae wokeme up at 9:30 and it took several minutes before I could figure out who it was.

Throat and mouth still hurt but everything else seems better.

Sleepless night

My leg kept me up until 5 and then the pain just stopped.  I slept most of the morning.  Now it is starting up again.  Cold is a bit better.

Jen had her baby last night, Jack Thomas Ryan.

Bad night

Went to bed at 11 and woke up in pain at 2:30.  My left groin and leg again.  A tumour somewhere is pressing on nerves.  Stayed in my chair the rest of the night with a hot compress.

Coughed and blew my nose all morning.  At least there was curling, Canucks and Whitecaps.  Only the Canucks won.

Leg painful again tonight.  I'll try the bed again.

Venturing out

Needed to take a prescription to the Cancer Agency.  Had to wait 40 minutes as they were busy.  I have enough refills for a year so I can phone ahead in the future.  Trip did me in. Got a headache and sore neck so came straight home.  Dozed a lot after that.

Am feeling somewhat better.  My eyes aren't weeping as much but my throat is sore and I am working through a couple of boxes of tissue.


Eyes irritating

Another quiet day yesterday.  Went to bed before 10 as it was getting too hard to keep my weepy eyes open.  This cold is one of the worst I've had.  My compromised immune system?

Still sick

Felt a bit better this morning, but not tonight.   Coughing a lot and my eyes are burning.  Think I'll go to bed so I can close them.  Trouble with doing that while watching TV is that I keep falling asleep.

Groceries

My cold is still hanging on. Lori went to Oakridge Safeway and had a pile of groceries (and a latte!) delivered.  The first thing they do is ask where my elevator is.  Lori also picked up Pam and 3 friends at 3:30 am to take them to the airport.  Pam later emailed from poolside.  Life is tough!

Still croaking

Slept on and off from 11 to 10.  Kept waking up to cough.

Felt a bit better until tonight.  Throat sore, eyes watering.  Kept dozing off all day.

Canucks aren't helping.

Sunshine

Blue skies this morning but still cold.

Slept poorly as I kept waking up coughing.  My other eye was shut this time.  Both are bad tonight so I'm going to bed early so I can shut them.

Running out of stuff so might try Safeway tomorrow.  Will need to do the laundry soon and need a prescription filled at the Cancer Agency.  Too busy to be sick.


Weeping eyes

Now I'm weeping.  No, not over the Canucks.  Couldn't open one eye this morning.  Hot compresses feel great.  Still have a sore throat and cough.  My feet hurt a bit but are much better.

Dozed on and off all day

Quick outing

My feet weren't so painful this morning so I made a trip to my micro Safeway.  Picked up a prescription and a few things I was running out of.  Stopped at the White Spot for take-out.  Had chowder for lunch and a Caesar salad for dinner

Still have a sore throat and.my feet hurt more tonight.

Test results

Dr. Called to say my tumour marker test was the same as last month.  It had been dropping but I was off one of my drugs for 3 weeks.  The CTScan was fine except one tumour behind my kidney that had grown.

Still stuffed and talking like a frog.  Feet are worse.

Sore feet

You'd think my feet would be happy that I'm losing weight.  Instead, they hurt with whatever  bug I have.  My throat is sore and I'm stuffed up.

Stayed in front of the TV and drank a lot.  Watched five episodes of Body of Proof.  Got a tweet about the pope and watched for a while.

Achoo!

Went to bed at 10 and slept until almost 7.  Cold is worse.

Saw Dr. Geddes at 8:30.  Not all my tests were back but she thought I looked a lot better - in spite of te cold.  I've lost more weight even though I'm eating more.

Picked up some juice and fruit on the way home.  Must do a big shopping run soon.  Was so tired when I got home I just sat for a long time before putting the food away.  Later I slept through the first period of the hockey game.

Tonight I'm sniveling and my feet hurt.

Still sick

I don't have a full blown cold but have some systems. What a pain.

Stayed in to watch TV, read and doze.
