Remaining Conscious

By -
I had a bit of a disturbed night. I went to bed about 22:45 feeling sleepy but didn't get off to sleep until about 01:00 probably because I had napped too much during the day. Then I woke about 03:00 from a bad dream where someone was trying to break in to the house. ( It was the house I had when I lived in Bromsgrove ). Took me a while to work out what was going on and settle down but then I slept until 08:30

Today my energy levels have been better and I've been able to remain conscious the whole day which is actually something of an achievement. I didn't log on to work as I decided to still rest up but I did go through a few bits of post and paperwork that needed attending too that had accumulated whilst I was in hospital.

I also spent a bit of time researching information about stem cell transplants and in particular reduced intensity conditioning. I came across a very good and detailed guide to the process here produced by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. There's a lot of information but it does explain it quite well.

Tomorrow morning is the usual Wednesday bloods and then hopefully if I feel as well as I did today I'll be able to do some work.

T + 188 Hackery, Bakery, Accident and Emergency

By -
Quite an eventful weekend by my standards these days. My energy levels have been improving over the days. On Saturday the creative muse struck me and I wrote the first draft of a 3600 word short story ( one sense of hackery ). It needs to be revised and edited but when I am happy with it I will prolly stick it up on a site like ABC Tales  like my friend Andy has done . Then you can chose to read or ignore at your leisure. Writing this was a good measure of my general energy as , with breaks, I worked on it for about six hours starting Saturday afternoon and didn't feel too bad. Indeed I have logged on and done a full day's work today and been quite busy. Feeling a bit tired now but not too bad. On Sunday Gareth did some bakery as is his wont these days and I did some hackery ( in the other sense ) trying to create a Mac OS X DVD so Gareth can install it on his EEE PC and make it a hackintosh . Sadly it wasn't successful :o( The Accident and Emergency bit relates to my Mom w...

Bright Eyes......... (PG)

By -
.......and no longer " burning like fire ". The chloramphenicol drops have cleared up my conjunctivitis again and I'm just finishing off the course of drops today. I've stayed off the computer pretty much over the last three days to help my dry eye syndrome as well. That has been quite bad in my right despite using the artificial tears regularly. The problem is, as it always has been, at night. As soon as I move my right eye under the lid in the morning, never mind actually open it, I get a sharp pain in it like someone has poked me in the eye. What has actually happened is that the surface of my eye is dry and the base epithelial layer of the cornea breaks down and gets ripped off by my lid. Yes it is as painful as it sounds. The pain subsides after an hour or so and generally it is ok for the rest of the day. What's worse than the early morning wake up poke in the eye is if I wake in the middle of the night for some reason. It takes me a while to get back off ...

Rien na va plus....

...as they say in tipton. Or no more bets. I had a call at about 19:15 tonight to say there was a bed for me and could I come right now in case an emergency admission nicked it overnight. Gareth gave me a lift up and I was all settled in by 20:15. I had the choice of two beds here in room 6 and I could have completed the set and had the only bed I've not had before but I decided I'd rather have my original bed by the window. -- http://raetsel.wordpress.com
