Post 2nd Removab

The most wasted day of all

is that during which

we have not laughed.

This is the second day after the second Removab treatment.  Fortunately, even though it was double the dose, the reaction was not as severe but enough to be classed as a 'good' reaction.  Not as much tremors or nausea, good high temperature to 39.8C and with the usual splitting headache.  Very tired from the treatment and slept most of yesterday but was well enough, just, to walk back to the apartment.  Good to get some circulation going after lying down for pretty well 36 hours.  Still a bit tired and weak today but no nausea except after eating and the headache is gone.

The weather today is lovely, finally some consistent sun and it is much warmer.  The bumble bees are buzzing around and the birdsong was most cheerful this morning on the way to the clinic.  They are busy with nest building in the many little birdhouses people have put in the trees and on posts in their gardens.  More tulips have come out as well as pansies, daffodils and hyacinths.  The extremely green grass is sprinkled with bright yellow dandelions, little white daisies and some light mauve flowers thrown in.






The day before the last Removab I was feeling quite good and we went for a walk in the forest.  It is just across the road from the clinic although the first section is along the road.  It was lovely.  Lots of birds although they were flitting by too quickly to see very well but their song could be heard.  The deciduous trees have not yet got their spring coats on and so, unlike in the village, it is still looking quite autumnal.  There is a "Barrfuss Park" (Barefoot Park)  where the paths have been set up to allow barefoot walks and include muddy, pebbly and shelly sections as well as soft mulch.  Too cold for bare feet at the moment but the path was lovely.  There were other lovely narrow roads and trails and although we did not go very far it was most enjoyable.  Hopefully more to come, too tired today I think but hopefully tomorrow.

Surviving & thriving
