Hi Guys
Well I'm not long home from my first day work since before I had surgery 6 weeks ago. It was good to do something so constructive. I've got a temp job working for 2 weeks for a dermatologist in macquarie st, in the city. & it may become longer term, all their staff have left & the girl above me only started 4 weeks ago!!!
Im using a medical software I haven't yet used before called Genie - I like it!!
I had a quiet weekend, but did go out on Sat night to the Seymour Centre to see a show called 'Thank Gd its Xmas' hilarious!! really good therapeutic laughter. I've had a bit of nausea, but I find the Blackmore travel calm ginger tablets that work for me when I go out on boats or even water beds!!! work for me here too. So basically now that the stuff the hospital gave me to take over the weekend is finished, thats all Im taking, except I'm having the most awful headaches, not migraines, so I'm taking a few neurofen a day... could do with taking a couple now.
The only other annoying side effect so far is that my sense of taste has changed. I can eat things that taste ok & i had a coffee this morning (rare for me) that was sort of all right, but green tea tastes awful,. water tastes disgusting, fruit juice is barely bearable, I can eat a small piece of dark chocolate but that's enough. I think savoury is more successful than sweet, but water?? its slightly better very cold, but im meant to drink litres a day!!! I'm presuming this is all normal!!
Finally bought a digital thermometer, even when the kids were little, we didnt have a thermometer, I used my lips to assess their degree of fever!! But as it wouldnt be useful for me to get even the slightest fever now, I have to carry this damn thing with me!! I took my temp last night, was 36.9 C, so perfectly normal!!!
Bit tired tonight, had a snooze when i came in.
Hope no one feels that Im writing to elicit sympathy or worse that I might have deserved to get this horrible thing happen, as the amount of support is just so enormous, I hope I'm giving something back. I'm not doing this for any ones benefit but my own really.... just that someone has suggested it has been a good thing to get right now!!!!!

That is rotten that you can't even enjoy a glass of water...maybe some lime cordial would help. Is it like a metallic taste ? The side effects will probably be stronger at the beginning till your system adjusts, but it must be hard for you. Glad you are still getting out to theatre, cinema etc...how was "Lebanon" ? At least the weather is a big plus...you wouldn't want to be freezing your chotchkies off over here...it is baltic just now. Keep the chins up xxx
ReplyDeletetnx jeff, was thinking along that line too, need to get some more lime cordial!! yes the weather is a plus. lebanon was excellent, didnt u read my post - not a fun movie, but worth seeing.... xxx
