It's been wet for the last few days since the Great 2020 Heat Wave collapsed, so getting out for decent walks has been difficult and I've been getting appropriately frustrated. Haven't been into a shop of any kind since late March or anywhere else except a few country parks, and those daily walks have become essential to keeping me sane. I missed three in a row because of the rain, but today we did an after-breakfast rush to Oaklands Park in Chelmsford, theory being that although it's only small you're never too far from shelter in event of the heavens opening again. We had coffees from the cafe and walked round twice - still not a lot but much better than nothing. No signs of the biblical flooding that affected central Chelmsford yesterday - photos and videos online were astonishing. There's been nothing like that in the eighteen years we've been living here.
I've now got to prepare myself and make some notes for phone consultation with Dr.Ch in the morning. Only one four-week cycle of "consolidation" left and I need to find out exactly what his plans for the "maintenance" that will follow are. I expect low-dose Lenalidomide (probably 10mg as against the current 25mg) and no more dex but unsure about which of the various supportive meds - Zometa, Co-Trimoxazole, Aciclovir, Rivaroxaban, Omeprazole - will still be needed. And I suppose the anti-constipation things will change as well. No more troubles on that score BTW, but I have ordered another pack of glycerine suppositories online. Just in case...
The Essex Live site shows plenty of pics and videos, including a couple of a demonstration about education grievances. I also learned about a yellow weather warning. All interesting!
ReplyDeleteWell done for finding that! Sue was in Chelmsford in the late morning (hairdresser appointment) and was leaving just as the heavy rain started. Another couple of hours and she would have had trouble getting out of the car park and back home. No very heavy rain here in Good Easter - just a couple of heavy showers that lasted only five minutes or so.
