Week 3 has come around quickly on my new Chemo meds for my Arthritis & i must say i am having server side effects.

 I hate sitting around doing nothing , I just have far to much going on up stairs to be ok sitting around taking it (easy) so to speak

 But these Meds are totally knocking me about in a big way.

 I have been getting very blurred vision & itchy gunky eyes, last week it got so bad i pulled my eye lashes out to relieve the burning (not  just a couple either)  but it didn't help.

 I am constantly nauseous , dizzy and so fatigued its a struggle to do anything.

 For the last two weeks i have taken my meds on a Thursday arvo & then i get uncomfortable and sore and sick so bad that i don't get much sleep Thursday night then Friday is a write off. 

                                  A BIG Fat Write Off !!!!!


I'm foggy in the head & not myself at all i am constantly sick & hardly manage to eat anything.

 Headaches have been constant & the sore mouth is yucky really horrid

 I have been getting really really bad Liver pains & I'm not sure if this means my liver isn't coping with this new Chemo Medicine or whether its normal to get these pains in Liver?

 I'm back at Dr Monday to get my Bloods & check my Liver & white cell count so i guess i shall find more out then.

 Come Sunday i start to get back to being Lisa and rearing to get on with my new week & tackle it full steam ahead.

 While I'm down and out on Friday & Saturdays i do have a lot of time to think about all the creative things i want to achieve, Funnily i get really peeved that i cant get up & do it all right then and there though.

 I have been trying to not let this effect me & pretend I'm ok & my body is fine taking these meds but its not so i have to tune in & figure out what the heck is happening with this.

 Today is my first day without Hayds home with the girls whilst being on my meds (his roster has been kind & the first 2weeks he was rostered off on these days).
I feel so sick , Ive had little sleep & haven't been able to keep a thing down. 
Because of the blurred vision i cant drive today so its going to be a long day ahead :)

 This is by no means a poor me Blog today this is a mere insight as to what is happening with me right now.

 I am hoping in coming weeks my body would have adjusted & il be fighting fit & able to head off down the beach on a Friday & Saturday to have fun in the sun with my girls 

This will not take me down but in fact make me stronger to have a bright future surrounded by loved ones

    Lisa, I really hope things get better for you real soon, I know how hard it is being alone with two kids on a good day but can only imagine feeling how you must feel after taking those meds and keeping house with two little ones on your own. Reading this gives me something to think about and helps me to see the things I take for granted on a daily basis. I wish you all the best and for someone as positive as you are, there is definitely light at the end of this tunnel :)

As i start to get better i feel much more positive and feel i have a good handle on this situation with my face. Its healing and is getting much better. Being inside was awful its so hard to not go out and enjoy the fresh air and do things, I also love the sun so having to avoid that is awful. Its funny to think that from now on i will have to wear a hat and cover up. Today for the first time i went to Story time at the library with Aaliyah and didn't wear a scratch of make up no moisturizer nothing (not that i had a choice in the matter) And it honestly didn't actually bother me at all. I even forgot that i wasn't wearing make up. Now coming from me who never leaves the house with out a full face of make up on , that is quite big. I actually feel really good about it and believe that this is my reason for this to happen to me, to help me grow as a person and feel more confident bearing all for the world to see. People that are naturally beautiful and used to not wearing m

Beautiful Sleep

Sleep  I love everything about sleep yet don't get the luxury of enjoying it very often at all. All my life i have suffered server sleep issues and from earliest memories i recall being stuck awake at night oh so wishing to just be able to sleep. I recall staying down the Marlborough sounds ,NZ at my grandparents house June and Lionel Hawkins. All us 3 girls being tucked away upstairs in our room all together nattering away non stop until one by one my sisters fell asleep then there was just me, Left wide awake desperate to just get to sleep now the fun was over. My Nana would come in late at night to see if we were asleep and every time sure enough id be wide awake in bed. So on numerous occasions she would take me off downstairs with her and make me a milky Milo to help to settle me enough to sleep (hopefully). You see my Nana suffers the same sleep issues and has told me she to lies awake in bed hours on end just trying to get to sleep. What makes matters worse

That crazy thing called Life experience

I find even though i may be growing older, Its true the older you get the more wise you become. Although i miss things about my youth ie. Having nothing to worry about other than myself & what i want to do that particular day & wear, The no responsibility's & being accountable for know one other than myself! And all other things associated with this type of thing. Basically that's all i do miss. You see i wasn't the nicest of people when i was younger & although i wouldn't change a lot of things i wish i had treated people nicer & respected myself more. The older i become the more i grow wiser & understand things better I also feel i am growing into my own person more and have my own Style and Flare. I am now confident enough to head in any direction i please with confidence that i will be excepted and its ok to make mistakes and not succeed at everything. I had loved Photography when younger but wasn't confident enough
