Measurables

It's been an up & down couple of days. Monday - bad. Day 6 and my stomach had no idea which way was up, whether it wanted food, drink or nothing, whether it wanted to keep sustenance in or get rid of it in the most expedient manner possible. I was trying to put out symptoms left, right & center and head them off at the pass. Any pass, I wasn't being picky!
My eyes are feeling different - I think that my vision is changing but the nurse suggested not going out & getting new glasses because they could keep changing & even change back! It's not really bad but just noticeable enough to me to be annoying to drive & sometimes watch TV.
The bone pain from the Neulasta is not bad ... knock on wood ... a deep twingy feeling, almost ghostly in it's passing making me wonder if I actually felt something. Oh yeah, there it is ... I feel it. It's not horrible, I just hope that all of these symptoms aren't cumulative and increase exponentially with each treatment.

Yesterday was better than Monday (Merciful Lord!!!) and today, while I slept little & unwell, today is feeling like it has potential. Shelly rearranged her day to give me a lift up to Gilda's for a support meeting. I can drive but I just feel a bit spacy so until I get a bit more used to it I don't think I feel good about driving more than to the store in town, if that.


The garter thing - being reworked.

Lina - done!! I like it - the fit is good with the pattern as written. I know ... bit of a passport pic but that's what happens when I'm left to my own devices!!


I'm into my last colour on the Creatively Dyed Sweet Spot strip - I really love Dianne's colourways!!


I sewed in all of the ends on the LF of China Clouds and attached the bands - looking good!


I picked up the RF to get busy on ... do you see that?!? All of those purl blips?!? OMG - I was happily knitting away on the wrong side of the band!!! Sigh. Situation under control - ripped out, re-started.

Day 5 - Quickie

Same old, functionally oogie - Kyle needed picking up from work today so I swung by the Mighty Mart of Wal for some grocery. Kerwyn had to go to work for an emergency so I was on back-up. Saw some friends - they're all looking great!!!, the Anniversary sale had them hopping so it wasn't too good for catching up.
Made some beef soup that I'll finish off tomorrow for lunch with - if I get out of bed on time - some fresh bread!

I was knitting on my Zen Yarn Garden cashmere Lina yesterday & today. When it was done I compared it to my Shedir - which is a most perfect chemo cap - and it's a bit narrower so it doesn't fit quite as well. I've ripped it back to the shaping and will add the pattern repeat that I took out. D'oh!!! I don't think that I'll get to finish it again tonight, but tomorrow will be waiting.
