Sunshine and a new week - lovely. This weekend I have struggled with the side effects of the increase in the dose of azathioprine. I have almost completely lost my appetite and have this background sickness all the time. I have also been exhausted - as if my bones are too tired to function! So yesterday I had a bed day with very little eating. Today I am feeling a little better, hopefully the worst is over and I will adjust to the new dosage. It is hard to keep taking the tablets when you know that they are making you feel so unwell. But as Paul reminded me - it is for the long term good of my hands and feet. Also once I have adjusted to this - I should have a period of stability ( well I can only hope). My back remains a constant hum of pain but thankfully is helped by the painkillers.
For many this week is the start of exams - SATS, GCSEs, and A levels begin. For us this is our last lot of school exams. It has been a long time in coming and I can't wait for 18th June when Ben finishes. At times I wondered if we would ever get here! This week is his last official week at school. I am so thankful for the support the school have provided for Ben through thick and thin.
We are on a countdown to the wedding now - just under 7 weeks and we are having daily conversations of the the things which are on our minds. So many little bits and pieces to think about. It is lovely to see Chloe so excited.
This week - blood tests( last weeks one was stable), flower watering at church ( we did our second pedestal for T's mums memorial service last week), gardening, bible study, GP appointment, coffee with friends, lunch with another friend and some tidying of shelves as I sort out my bits and pieces from tutoring. A fairly quiet week with nice things doted around. I hope you all have some nice things planned - hoping for a little sunshine along the way.
