We had a bit of a scare yesterday, although it didn’t turn out too bad. I was sitting at my desk and came over very strange. I went very dizzy, very hot and couldn’t seem to function at all. Bill took my blood pressure which was almost nonexistent. After a quick chat with Isabel, Bill decided that I needed a check up at the hospital; so off we went. I was still feeling odd even at the hospital for some time and so we waited to get checked out by the doctor. She was great; she took my blood pressure and gave me an ECG which turned out to be normal. It seems that this is an effect of the chemo and I was advised to go home rest, put my feet up and take salt; not normally something I would do.
Today was a little strange as well but I think it was the same thing. Bill took me shopping as I wasn’t sure about driving and he wasn’t about to let me anyway. I felt in a different land whilst out; which could be a good thing as shopping on a Saturday morning is a bit hectic. After lunch I had a good sleep and now feel much better; perhaps chocolate biscuits helped.
As this is the last chemo hopefully I will start to feel better soon. I had the light headiness before the last time but this was the scariest; especially for Bill. I am definitely looking forward to feeling better.
