Since the last blog I have been catapulted into editing photos and video clips into a video for the actions of the Red Rebel Brigade Cardiff. I could not be one myself (even though I have the costume and everything). A pleasing activity even though my skills with editing software are extremely limited. I have perhaps made up for my editing limitations with making original music for the videos. One video has part of a track I made way back in the early 2000. A surprising way for the music to appear as it is locked in to my CD stash in my basement that only sees the light of day if I have a live gig. The other is more abstract using drum samples.
My energy is returning steadily and the Bevacizumab treatment does not affect me as much as the chemo therapy did. I can bounce back sooner and get on with 'doing stuff'. I am ever so slightly nauseous and have no appetite but determinedly eat 3 meals a day as I cannot bear to feel physically weak. The bloody nose and the bleeding gums are slightly less now, still a bit erratic when or why it happens. I am aware my muscles and strength need building up as does my confidence and balance after months of feeling wobbly and having no breath. Exciting to feel I am 'on the mend' in many many ways.
I went on a long walk on the cliffs at Trwyn Larnog and over to Ynys Sili yesterday with a good friend, (keeping to the socially distant 2 meter rule of course) who was happy to have lots of rests and ambling along styley motion as well as slipping and sliding in some very muddy fields and tracks. We were given an ever changeing glorious dramatic dark clouds and sunlight display over the sea with occasional hints of turquoise and sky blue. Clouds turning pink at the end of the day. A special day to be alive.
The countryside is so healing.. and your perseverance is really inspirational! Keep going Sianed!
