stolen phone and chemo poison

Somethings in life stink. Having your phone stolen from your bedside while you sleep is one of them! So now I have nothing to contact the outside world with. pig pig and poke one! god knows who took it - likely someone who works here rather than patients. but who knows, could be anyone. Have had security round and cancelled my phone. but sim card gone, so a lot of precioius numbers missing.. bugger it. Almost worse than the phone stealing is the chemo, which has been violently awful - have been very ill with it - even getting a visit from the intensive care team the other night. I have two more lots to go, one tonight starting at 9pm - 4 hours of chemo poison pumped through my system, and then the final one tomorrow at 9am for another 4 hours. Goddam it, I will be pleased when this round 3 is over. I have been seriously knocked round the ring! Had a high temperature of 39.9, low blood pressure, huge aches, feeling very very sick, screaming headache - they have put me on steriods to stop swelling to the brain.... great. and the list goes on, but thats enough, or i will risk feeling sorry for myself! A presto tutti

  1. Hi T,
    your latest news are really very upsetting and also feel sorry for all the pain you are going through. When you have your phone sorted let me know so I'll send you a sms and also I can make a comment really rude, in Italian...something you never heard before, pure Tuscan expression to describe the person who stole the phone. I cannot do it here...to embarrassing.
    lots of love...

    I just sent you some of my strength, I hope it has arrived already.

  3. Everything I think of to say either sounds too negative (That sucks!) or too chipper/flippant (Well, at least you still have your sense of humor!). But in the absence of having the "right" words to say, please just know how often we are thinking of you, and sending you all of our best wishes for so many things, including, but not limited to, a speedy and full recovery, a sense of peace and wellbeing while you're getting there, and karmic biteyouinthearse for the moron who stole your phone.

  5. Ah Tessa, that's horrible, what a mean thing to do, glad they didn't take your computer as well. The chemo sounds really nasty - so sorry, thinking of you and wishing you better things.

  6. Tessa, what can I say, that really does stink - big time.
    I actually sent you a text last night before reading your post today - I will send another now but with a very different message!
    Hopefully you are now over the worst of the chemo for this round and will be home later this week.
    Thinking of you and sending lots of love xxx
