Day 44 - Still Recovering from Chemo

10:30
 I just got out of bed. Today I feel like a real cancer patient.
Chemo sucks.
I only got into bed last night after 00:00. I took sleeping pills, and they seemed to finally work. 10 hours sleep was a good thing. Now I am just stupid and tired.
I just turned on the geyser. I stink and need a shower.
My mouth is sore, and I am nauseous. I just took one of the doctor's fancy anti nausea pills. I asked her if it was like Enos. She said "Like Enos times 10".
I ate the last of the fruit salad I made a few days ago. It hurt my mouth. I hope it was just the chemo destroying my mouth cells, and not the salad being rotten.
I should be working on the beetle. I need to get it running. But first a nap..

17:30
I had a 3 hour nap, then felt ready to zoom and finish the beetle starter. Being clear headed and rested, I was able to get the starter in and working in about 2 hours. Now the beetle runs fine :-)
I cleaned up, then showered. I was feeling tired, and decided that the trouble to keep the compression stocking and dressing dry was just to much work, so I just showered, and got everything wet. It will dry. It was nice to take a shower like a normal person.

22:00
I just chatted with Maddie. She has been house hunting on the coast in a town called George.  She will move there within a few weeks.
The beetle seems to run OK. It needs brakes fixed, oil leak stopped, and fuel tank repaired.
 I want to use the beetle to go to the train station tomorrow early to catch a train and go to a computer fair in Pretoria. My friend's sister is giving a speech.
I hope I feel up to it. I am very tired.
I took a sleeping pill, and want to get asleep early.
Sorry if I sound stupid. But I am.
Chemo Sucks.
