Nausea

Some nausea today, tried the Paspertin (metoclopramide) again....No effect, bummer.

More Seizureless Exercise

I didn't do my planned rowing yesterday because I was feeling rough, but this afternoon I did a straight 30 minutes at around 135bpm with no problems. I think I'll keep it at this rate until I talk to the Nuerologist next Wednesday.

Feeling Rough

Feeling a bit rough today. A touch of nausea this morning, so I took a Paspertin which didn't seem to help much. Once home from Radiation therapy I just sat on the sofa an drifted in and out of sleep.

Perhaps I shouldn't stay up to 2am in future.

Exercise without seizure

Since changing the Timonil regime on 20th I have had no seizures! Before I was having at least one at least every second day for 4 weeks.

So I thought I'd push it a bit and get on the exercise bike at around 18:00 (before taking the evening's dose). Did 32 minutes averaging at 132bpm (which would have previously guaranteed a seizure) with no problems. I'll try a set of intervals on the rower tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed.

Wild and Ratatouille

Went to see the new Pixar movie Ratatouille yesterday with a couple of old friends. If you've liked previous Pixar movies, you'll like this one. If you like looking at how technology in animation is getting better and better, just watch the water and fur in this one. Awesome.

It's Wild (pronounced vild = game) season in Switzerland at the moment so we preceded the movie with some Rehpfeffer (peppered venison) cooked in the traditional Swiss way served with Spätzli, Brussel sprouts and Caramelised chestnuts Mmmm. I even allowed myself a glass of Primitivo to celebrate (something).

A lovely evening all in all.

Working Lunch

On the way back from today's therapy, I stopped off for a nice lunch in Mellingen (close to the office) with a colleague and after boring him with all the gory details of my last couple of months I caught up on all the latest gossip at the office all the organisational changes, whose gone, whose new......

A bit of a reminder that life goes on with or without you.

Decided the hair would look better if shaved really short, so Carol got out the shears. I think I was right, but have still got a bare patch on the bit of my head that wasn't already bald. that Carol reckons its the shape of Italy, but why would the Radiation guy be using Italian shaped beams. I wonder if you can get designer shapes done?

Caught out on afterlife

In yesterday's blog I mentioned in passing (during the hair saga) that Carol and I had been discussing what might come after death. Well somebody spotted that I hadn't mentioned the discussion anywhere else. Sorry about that, I still haven't quite got the hang of getting all the important stuff in a blog yet.

Well, Carol and I disagree; Carol reckons nothing follows death, but I (want to) believe in an afterlife as part of a common consciousness (maybe that is as a part of god). I don’t fear oblivion, but I believe there is more to the universe than the physical, and there is some (not much) evidence to support this.

This is probably the only question that we will all know the answer to one day but will never be able to tell anybody about it. I can't help thinking this will be a recurring theme of this blog.
