Was feeling all proud as out of bed and had a shower, even washed my hair, now of course head in the bucket trying not to puke Hmm damn chemo!

Parsnip cake sounds fun, enjoy the wool shop jchoc

malteserzz · 15/06/2013 14:57

Oh oh topsy, what have the girls done?

amberlight · 15/06/2013 17:00

Ruby, you shouldn't be feeling that Envy. Different potions needed?

Yes, Topsy, what's going on over there?

MaryAnnSingleton · 15/06/2013 17:14

oh that capecitabine- it can do that-sometimes I've had no nausea and other times feel really quite queasy.
Poor ruby - (stroke Ruby's hair comfortingly)
Had a nice afternoon walking round lovely garden in Haslemere -very windy. Had the most delicious ginger cake and a cup of tea too.

GoodbyeRubyTuesday · 15/06/2013 17:23

Think it's from the infusion as capecitabine nausea tends to set in about a week later, it's not that bad, I don't feel queasy/nauseous as such more just a need to throw up HmmConfused very strange and irritating, no party for me tonight! Thanks for hair strokes and comforting words everyone :)

topsy what's happened?!

MAS sounds lovely, did you manage to avoid rain?

malteserzz · 15/06/2013 17:25

Must be a cakey sort of day, dh has made cinnamon buns yum
Can I take my steri strips off my boob or do I have to let them fall off naturally? The ones under my arm all fell off a few days ago but these are just peeling and look a bit grubby, best to leave it covered as long as possible though ? Been 11 days since my op

MaryAnnSingleton · 15/06/2013 17:26

poor love... yes,avoided rain too- and there were lovely sunny bits in between the clouds. It was dog heaven too as the owners have 2 lurchers.

MaryAnnSingleton · 15/06/2013 17:27

I would just soak them a bit in the bath and if they are loose enough peel off but not if they need pulling.. saw those cinnamon buns on fb- they look fab...I now want one

malteserzz · 15/06/2013 17:40

One side is almost off but the other is quite stuck on maybe id better leave them be
Buns were lovely!
Your walk sounds nice MAS we've had heavy rain and sun today
Shame about the party ruby but think of all the parties you will go to when this is all over Smile
Topsy what have the girls done ??

GoodbyeRubyTuesday · 15/06/2013 17:52

Hm malt definitely sounds best to just leave them, I'm sure they'll peel off soon. I had some very stubborn steri strips, ick. Indeed, lots of parties to look forward to afterwards, and hopefully less awkward too as won't have to do the whole talking about chemo thing! Enjoy the cinnamon buns, they look fab.

MAS sounds fabulous and glad you got some sunshine. We had very heavy rain earlier and rabbit had to be towelled off but now glorious sunshine, it's so pretty with all the raindrops sparkling! But glad I wasn't out in it :)

I found a Christmas craft kit yesterday when sorting out papers so going to do that this evening Grin
