Evening Folks,

Nothing much happening today except the chores of family life. I was feeling okay today but felt tired. Fought off going for a nap and feeling the consequences now. Moody and very emotional. It seem that any little emotional thing that happens on TV is setting off tears ducts. I was watching a film with Ethan and there was an emotional but happy ending and my tears were cascading down my cheeks. On the flip side I am also experiencing quick temper tantrums especially with the kids. Lindy taught me a couple of NLP techniques that are meant to help me control these temper tantrums but my chemo infested brain forgot about them until now. I will try my hardest to remember them next time. As it not fair on the kids and Elaine.

I had mentioned before that I am experiencing slight discomfort around my mid drift area and I am assuming these areas are where my liver tumours are. The discomforts had increase in frequency and intensity today. I am hoping the chemo is killing off the cancer cells. I am also experiencing headaches, which can be attributed to troubled sleep patterns. I keep waking up every 2-3 hours to check the bag on my side. Even with a sleeping pill in me. The hot flushes does not help either but the frequency of these are subsiding. Only 2-3 today and these were during my sleep time. The cold weather does not help. It seem that my feet and hands are in constant need of warming up. Think that is due to low circulation down in these areas. I will start on an easy exercise routine tomorrow to help me improve these. I was not feeling very energetic the past few days.

I also need to address the relationship problems with the kids and Elaine. Time to sleep on these thoughts and hopefully come up with a good solution.

Nite Folks,

Sai
