I'm feeling so off I've bought myself some grapes.

Blood results were OK, so now I'm waiting for the actual chemo.

I am *so tired* of feeling nauseous.

The grapes broke the eating problem. Porridge also downed. Now working on beans on toast.

Despite feeling remarkably grotty, I have managed 2 meals today - porridge and toast. Oh, and a couple of tangerines.
Could be worse.

Hey! Hey hey hey! I *know* this surgeon!
He was in charge of me after my first toe amputations. I was very impressed with him.

Dr. Mateusz Wierdak, you're my hero, too.

On the phone to try and get a GP appointment. Waited half an hour on hold to get a receptionist, just so the receptionist could tell me to phone tomorrow at 7 am.
Given my difficulty waking up, I'm not sure that will fly.

Mental health - for the first time in 4 years I've managed to set up and get all my music-making stuff working, and I've actually got the basis of a track.
Wow.

Just starting to get the first inklings of unwellness from the chemo. Ugh.

Yesterday and today - 2 bowls of porridge for breakfast. I'm becoming a regular Goldilocks!

If we're going to do this, we might as well do it properly.

I swear my clumsiness will be the proximal cause of my death. If not by accidentally while stirring some soup or something, then by the apoplexy caused by constantly dropping, pouring, spilling, splashing, or endless other activities.

Pilsner Prazdroj Řezane. I can't drink all of it, but I haven't had one of these in 33 years.
Na zdraví. 🍻

Good. That's sorted. Back on track. Chemo starts up again next Thursday.

Well, Marmite health really. She's definitely not well and I'm afraid it's getting worse. She's going to the vet's on Friday.
Apart from the attacks, she seems fine - eating, patrolling the garden, sleeping, pooping normally.
Very odd, but also quite disturbing.

Thanks. We did. How does it go? They made a dying man very happy. 🤣 Photos of the places on the #NFWHealth tag. 😁

A few more photos from Kraków's former Jewish quarter - Kazimierz - around Plac Nowy.

It was really good to go for a wander with the boys round the area. May be of interest to #NFWHealth people.

So. A mini pub crawl. Three places in Kazimierz that hold a lot of memories for me.
Alchemia.
Eszeweria.
Singer.

Eszeweria, as you enter.
Singer, as you enter.
The unisex bathroom in Eszeweria. It's a place of mystery and wonder. Plus a good deal of WTF???

After about 10 days *with no morphine*, I had to succumb and put a plaster on last night.

Pros: the pain has gone.

Cons: my entire body is one big itch and I just can't scratch it enough.

Welp, I always said coffee would be the last of my addictions to go, and thus it has proven to be. So I've come to an executive decision that on coffee I will not stint. Might as well enjoy it as much as I can.

Oh come off it, this is sodding ridiculous. How can my leg be itching on the *inside* of my shin bone?? 😭

Several, actually. That's 3 days and 9 meals plus some nibbling.
And my hospice doctor said that my CT scan results were "rewelacja" meaning excellent. That cheered me up.
He also said the flat doesn't smell of smoke anymore.
Yes. I am feeling much much better. But tired

Just starting to translate these texts on Mongolian culture for the Ethnographic Museum.
It's reminded me how very bloody much I've wanted to go to Mongolia. Ever since I learnt of its existence, I wanted to go there on the Trans-Siberian.
Guess it won't happen now, tho.

Finished with the foot doctor, who gave me an illegal bag of bandages and a new shoe!
And no more damn antibiotics.

Hopefully, that means I can start feeling more normal soon.
