#NFWHealth Just had a bowl of the most *wonderful* vegetable soup (not a carrot in sight!) made by a very good friend of mine here. She's made enough of vegetable and also tomato soup to last several days.
Some good food.
#NFWHealth So. Learnt absolutely nothing today, and it's taken a helluva lot of energy I just don't have.
Feeling really sick now.
#NFWHealth Well that was totally a complete waste of time and money. Both R and I travel all the way across town and back to pick up a piece of paper.
Have they not fucking heard of email? We're a quarter of the way through the 21st century for fuck's sake.
#NFWHealth I've been meaning to say this for a couple of days, but the dose of morphine patches I'm on now is doing a good job.
#NFWHealth The next Medical Bundle of Joy. What with everything I didn't manage to see my psychiatrist last week, as a consequence of which I have now run out of anxiolytics.
I have now idea at this point how I'll feel as a result of that.
I guess I'll find out soon enough.
#NFWHealth OK, I'm doing it. Time to ask for help. I can't eat solids at the moment, so maybe some friends could maybe make soup for me?
Am I being too cheeky?
#NFWHealth And that's it. Tumour zapped to Hell and back.
Back to the hospital on Monday for the results.
#NFWHealth First, R. phoned to ask if I could get out of the flat on my own. Well, you've been with me for nearly 18 months, what do *you* think??
And did he get my plasters and sleeping pills? Of *course* he fucking didn't.
Ouch.
#NFWHealth Home at last. Ever more knackered and nauseous. Just got to wait for R to finish whatever the fuck he's doing so I can get some peace.
#NFWHealth An increased dose of morphine patches. I'm not supposed to take the drops anymore, but let them try and stop me!
#NFWHealth Off to the Pain Management clinic in a minute, and then radiotherapy.
#NFWHealth
This week's slogan:
ZAJEBCIE TEGO SKURWYSYลSTWA
All done for today.
#NFWHealth Much better today with painkillers.
On my way to the hospital now.
#NFWHealth Home!
Feeling as sick as a flock of psittacines, but home.
Now just waiting for Ryszard to bring the morphine plasters.
#NFWHealth OK. First session over. The whole time, I was thinking - zajebcie tego skurwysyลstwa.
You can guess what it means.
Now waiting for the taxi home.
#NFWHealth Got the morphine drops (thank you, Ryszard!) and have had a mouthful. A bit of relief already, thank the Nonexistent Supreme Being.
#NFWHealth I'm waiting for the Death Ray and Ryszard's gone off to try and get the painkillers. I hope he finds them - I'm feeling absolutely dreadful.
#NFWHealth OK. Got the painkiller prescriptions. Now to find somewhere that sells them.
#NFWHealth Still waiting for the GP. I'm nauseous with the pain, and it's making my eyes water.
#NFWHealth Not really a health update, but I've finally managed to shave my beard back under control.
It's only taken 2 months.
Just trying to take my mind off the pain.
#NFWHealth The next 3 days without painkillers are going to be very tiring, but I'll try and enjoy myself as much as I can.
#NFWHealth "Even speaking in a second language can increase anxiety when discussing personal or sensitive topics. Research on multilingual communication has shown that individuals often feel less able to express complex emotional experiences in non-native languages.

This is not going to be fun. My morphine plasters run out on Sunday, and I've already finished my morphine drops.
Going to be a painful few days.
#NFWHealth OK, today was one of Ryszard's Most Useful Days. He managed to get the radiology department to give me a time for each day (which they'd previously said was impossible) next week, and has organised taxis there and back every day.
And hung out the washing and done the washing up.
#NFWHealth Having to deal with Ryszard without coffee should really be listed as a Crime Against Humanity.
#NFWHealth Finally taken the pills, and yes, of course I immediately feel sick.
#NFWHealth So yeah, high protein kefir, 2 Icelandic yoghurts, 2 nutridrinks, and 2 crumpets.
Might not sound like a lot to you, but that's the most I've managed to eat in 6-7 days?
#NFWHealth Well, I've had a lovely evening with a friend talking about this and that, which has been good, because I've been worried sick about #NFDad all day.
Now I need to take my meds (actually I needed to take them 3 hours ago) and go to bed.
#NFWHealth Eaten 2 crumpets with butter and Marmite. Not #Marmite, although she licked the plate clean before I could stop her. I'd forgotten how much she likes the black stuff.
#NFWHealth OK, some movement on the Ryszard front. Me, him, and my social worker are meeting on Monday to work out what to do about my assistant programme next year.
