Day + 119


Hi everybody, today was a little quite, especially after yesterday. I had an ok kind of night. I was up in the middle of the night at one stage for nearly 2 hours, but then only a couple of times for the rest of the night. I’m not sure which are better loads of little disruptions or a couple of large disruptions. I had a lovely shower this morning where I just sat under the shower for about 60 minutes. I love the feeling of the water falling on me. Then I had my morning medicines and a bit of a rest and a nap while Dad went for his shower. At lunch time my teacher, Elisabeth, came in and we did some work. This is the first time in a little while that she managed to get me when I wasn’t sleeping. After that Susan came in and then the physical therapist, but by this stage I was wrecked and needed another rest / nap. All day I’ve been very thirsty. Dad said yesterday I was allowed one glass of coke and one glass of 7 UP. I had my coke early this morning, but this evening when I only had a little bit of 7 Up I ended up getting sick. Also this evening I had a peach and mango smoothie but that also came up after only a few minutes. I think I want to eat but it seems that nobody told my tummy. Tomorrow I’m going for my biopsy so I’ve to fast from 08:00 tomorrow and to stop drinking at 10:00. I hate not been able to drink so I’ve pestered the nurses to see if I can gargle water or take a little and spit it out, or eat an ice pop or have ice cubes. You get the idea; there must be a way around this not drinking. Anyway it is nearly 10:00 and I’m eating my 7UP frozen ice lolly (after a little fight with my dad) and I think after this it is time for bed. Nite nite, love Naoise.

  1. Hi Naoise,

    I know what you mean about enjoying a shower. It is a lovely feeling when the water is falling over you; very soothing! I'm sure you enjoyed your glass of coke this morning but it's a pity the 7UP made you sick later. Best of luck in the morning with the biopsy. Not drinking when you feel thirsty is very hard and ice cubes are a good idea to at least keep your mouth moist.

    I'm going to tell you a funny story I heard the other day. Here it goes:
    There was a woman who had three kids and they were all constantly asking her for a pet, even one pet to share. She always kept saying no to them as she believed she would be the one left to look after the pet, feed it, clean up after it etc. One day she was passing a pet shop in town with the kids and the three of them dashed in before she could stop them. They insisted on getting a pet and wouldn't leave until they did. In the end their mother gave in and bought one hamster. The children were delighted. They named the hamster 'Danny'. They fought over who would hold it on the way home, who would have the hamsters cage in their room at night and who would feed him in the morning etc. Unfortunately, their interest in the hamster didn't last and after a week or two their mother was left to look after Danny as she had predicted. She had to feed him and clean out his cage etc. She was not happy and after a month she decided to find a new home for Danny. She put an advert in her local newspaper looking for a good home. A woman phoned her and offered to take Danny. She said she would collect him at 6pm the following day. The mother told her children a woman would be taking Danny away and they barely turned their heads away from watching t.v. and just nodded. The following day the woman came to collect Danny and when the children saw her putting his cage into her car they burst into tears and starting begging their mother for Danny to stay. Their mother was confused and said to them "I told you a woman was taking Danny away yesterday and you didn't care in the least'. The children looked at her and explained they thought she said "A woman was taking Daddy away"!! Hee Hee

    I hope you sleep well Naoise. I'll write again soon.

    Lots and lots of love
    Vincent, Margaret, Ross, Greg and Luke

  2. Hi Naoise

    Good morning, I hope you had a good night. I know you'll be fasting soon and I really hope all goes smoothly and it is not for too long. I think your gargling water & spitting it out sounds like a very clever & practical idea. I hope they agree to it.

    Margaret's joke above was a fun start to my day: "selling Daddy" nearly made me laugh as much as Georgina's one yesterday about selling Senan on eBay! I've told Jack there's a good joke on your site - I'm trying to encourage him to get moving for school!

    By the way you are very good not to PRETEND that you are asleep when your teacher comes by - I think I might! And your Daddy is very good to be watching your liquid intake. I'm sure it is so hard for him to say no to you. Fingers crossed this biopsy helps the doctors in fixing your tummy and then you and your Dad can get back to all that lovely baking & cooking that you do so well.

    I hope that you are back in your room really soon. Have you any nice movie plans for later? Your friend's recommendation of Grease is great, but being a McGrath I can't imagine you haven't seen that yet....Always worth watching again though!

    I'll be thinking of you all day

    Lots of love

  5. Hello Naoise,

    I hope the biopsy went ok today and that you didnt have to wait too long for it. And i hope you werent too thirsty and you were allowed some ice cubes.

    Thats a lovely photo of you. I love your pink top and pink duvet. I just read Margarets story above about 'selling Daddy' it was very funny! Georginas story yesterday about Senan was very funny too, its gas Senan wants suncream on while he is in bed!

    Im going on a little holiday tomorrow with my boyfriend Phil. We are going to Rome and Barclona and Nice, for 2 weeks. I will go to internet cafes and go on to your blog while i am away. And Nana is going to keep me updated too.

    Take care. Miss you so much honey.

    Lots of love,
    Aunty Chrissie x x x x
