Home again.

Got home at around 20:30 after first cycle of Rituximab. Had a poor night's sleep on the ward as usual, so hoping to sleep well tonight. No major dramas during the infusion. Bit of a headache and feel like I'm on fire but generally OK. Next cycle is Tuesday next week so one down three to go. Love and strength to all.

I must be one of those strange beings that sleeps well in hospital, perhaps it’s the 💊 and lack of 🐈🐈 in the middle of the night. Gets some rest.

Thanks Colette. It's the constant awakening for obs plus other patients and its not my bed. Will see how I am tomorrow.

I seem to be good at sleeping through those. I just seem to find the shape of the hospital beds perfect for me, unlike the dreadful showers. Sleep well tonight. 🛌

I can sleep anywhere at home, but not on strange beds - hotels or hospitals! It sounds like you are off to a good start though!!

Thanks, yes there's no bed like your own. I hope the next three go as smoothly.

I could never sleep in hospital, there’s nothing like your own bed. Good luck with next treatment.

Thanks Dave. I tend to walk the hospital corridors at night until I'm shattered, and sleep in the day but it's never good sleep.

My sympathy, I never had a decent night's sleep in hospital, too much commotion in the corridor. Have you tried earbuds and white noise on a phone app? It gave me some respite.

My further three infusions are in the day suite which will be better.
