Icky oozy blah

Still think I am looking too healthy to be as sick as I apparently am... my scalp is definitely changing... the short cut is quite comfortable... and looks ok (well scarily I look like Judith Lucy LMAO)... curls hide a ton of sins... hair is still thick and healthy looking, but scalp is itchy and feels very dry... thinking about whipping up an aromatherapy oil mask thingy to soak my head in.

Leaking drain site is ok, after a bit of a panic yesterday with redness and discharge, rush to the surgeon to check, and all is draining nicely, no infection... Love Mic to bits, for his panicking, I guess he is feeling so helpless he wants to makes sure everything goes ok... so when there was the hint of redness around the wound, although I had no temp, he wanted me to get it checked... All the panic was because I have started chemo and the big warnings about being wary about developing any infections. My body must still be in control of itself pretty well, and although the surgeon agreed there were going to be lurgies in the drain site, I have been able to fend them off... go me. :)

Lost more weight... got on the wiifit this morning... did some yoga and stretches, wonder if that is assisting the ooze, freeing everything up anyway. Will have to get onto that more often. Wonder what other exercises have help people????

Taste wise is not too bad today... haven't even had any fruit tingles...but the cordial is going well... although flushing so much water through my system catches up at night...grrrr, at least it was only once last night.
Off to get the kids... I think they are loving that bit, that Mum gets to pick them up most days, pretty early - leaving them in after school care, trying to not disrupt their lives too much, and it means if I am not up to getting them Mic can get them a bit later, so not tied in.
