Hump day

For those of you that dont understand the title, imagine the week as a hill, its uphill Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday you reach the peak, the hump, then its easy going down the other side to the weekend from there.  So today is hump day.
Much better sleep last night, got off to sleep around midnight, 2 o'clock obs happened at 3, 6 o'clock obs im still waiting on as the shift change is happening along at the nurses station, so they will probably come with breakfast.
I feel really good this morning, sleep probably helped, and no sign of the rash they expect today or tomorrow yet.

Sitting now after treatment ive just realised you are all probably only reading this for the food reviews. So, breakfast was porridge followed by sausage and beans with toast. Think they know me better now, I got an extra sausage and extra toast. 
Dinner was chicken and rice with a sauce described as tikka, it was nice so I dont question. Dessert was rice pudding, think thats all they do. So by Friday I will look like a grain of rice.

Treatment was a little slow today as the canular has come a little loose under the claggy tape after three days, but it get a new one in the other arm tomorrow.

No further side effects so far. They expect a rash today or tomorrow, but nothing yet.

Those are the wounds left by the canular I've had in since Monday morning.  Not bad eh?

Oh the obe annoying side effect I have had but not mentioned is indigestion and hiccoughs. Its not from the alemtuzumab, but the steroids. Its just an annoyance really. But if you are going to get high dose anti inflammatory steroids, be prepared for sleeplessness and heartburn.

Back to food, tea was vegetable soup and a hot beef sandwich with gravy. Lovely, and I got extra bread again. :-)
