Feb 18 - Wasted day

19:30
Yesterday's 15th Chemo was nominal. I chatted lots with a fat lady. She had lymphoma cancer.
Afterwards, it was pouring with rain. I couldn't even see the parking lot from the doors, so I sat in the hospital cafe and ate lots.
I had a bad night after chemo, and only got to bed after 3:30. Lots of Phantom Pain. I think the physio session made the pain worse.
It works much better to just stay up till I am falling asleep, then go to bed. That saying "bed is for sleep only" works well.

I only awoke this morning at 10:30. I have had many 1 and 2 hour naps today. I had a long list of things to do, but I never even got my leg on, or opened the front door. All I have eaten today is one peanut butter sandwich.

I need to start getting ready for the George trip. I wanted to start the beetle, get the tool set out of it and put it in the Atos. The Atos horn stopped yesterday while I was using it.  Internet says probably bad steering wheel airbag ... $$$. I'm hoping for a loose wire.

I laid down after almost falling out of my wheel chair at 15:00. I try to stop the wheel chair with something soft in front of me. I just got up at 19:00. Sleep will be hard to come tonight.
