Sleep, Sleep and a bit more sleep

Since Thursday afternoon, Steve has been asleep!

We have been up for 2 more radiotherapy session, with the last 2 being tomorrow and Wednesday.
The sessions as I've said only last a few minutes but the effect on Steve has been dramatic! Well we all know if their is a side effect to be had, then Steve will get it 110%

So since Thursday Steve has been awake for only a few hours each day and even then, he has barely been able to focus on anything. He is not eating very much nor drinking and saying hardly anything but he does seem to have slightly less pain, in his back.

As much as its wonderful he is resting and resting / sleeping with out pain, it is also a worry! Who would have thought I would be worried about him sleeping!

I called the hospital today, who said they would see us when we were up there tomorrow for his radiotherapy. I'm just hoping its just an extreme side effect.

I spoke with Prof (Steve's new doctor) secretary in today and Steve has an appointment next Wednesday to have a check up and to start the new medication.

Well whilst he has been sleeping, when I've not been negotiating us through London traffic for hours on end! In fact I think I could add taxi driver to my list of duties, as I've become very good at driving through London, squeezing in and out of the traffic, in our Chelsea tractor! I'm thinking of signing up and taking the knowledge!!

I've been pottering! Pottering around the garden, making sure I keep everything alive. I've even been promoted from simply watering, to weeding and planting! I know a complete worry for those who know me of old! And I'm sure in my attempts at weeding I've dug a few prized plants up! But I need to quickly add, that I've not reached the stars on the badge yet to mow the lawn! No along way to go before I make it to that stage! Sleep for me is not so easy to come by. I feel constantly tired but cant sleep very well and seem to wake up every hour.

Well I'm off to try and join Steve in the land of nod and will report back, when I've got some more news.
