Stressed Out.

Plastic

I'm half way through my chemo.   I have a CT scan tomorrow which may deliver good, bad or very bad news.   

I'm sooooo stressed I can't keep it together..

  • Hi Plastic, wishing you the very best for tomorrow! Classical music could be relaxing (or maybe some of the film scores like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars!)

    Thanks - the scan is not the issue - it's just a quick ride through the washing machine.  Smiley    It's the potential results that's scaring the crap out of me.   They gave me 3-6 months in October and the chemo is just palliative. Disappointed

    I'm getting triggered at any emotional music - Siegfried's Funeral, Sprach Zarathustra, Fingal's Cave, Aquarium -  practically anything with strong flash-back memories.

    My life is laid out in full technicolour in front of me - all 20,000 days of it - and I get the scan results on my birthday next week..

    I'm so sorry to hear that..... Apologies, the music is very emotional, you must be feeling a lot of things at the moment. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping for the very best result, and hopefully you'll be able to get a very relaxed night's sleep before.

    Insomnia

    But there's no release, no peace
    I toss and turn without cease
    Like a curse, open my eyes, rise like yeast.
    At least a couple of weeks
    Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
    But now I keep myself pep
    Deeper still, the night
    I write by candlelight, I find insight
    Fundamental movement
    So when it's black
    This insomnia takin'-original-tack(?)
    Keep the beast in my nature
    Under ceaseless attack... I gets no sleep
    I can't get no sleep.
