Something New from Time to Time

avatar

( EN / DE ) Friday was my Chemo Cocktail part 1/6 and of course I was very nervous before that. I knew that I would be there for about 6 hours and so I took the precaution of stashing ebooks and audio books.
Freitag war nun also mein Chemo Cocktail Teil 1/6 angesagt und natürlich war ich davor sehr nervös. Ich wusste, dass ich in etwa 6 Stunden dort sein würde und habe also mal vorsorglich ebooks und Hörbücher gebunkert.

Once in the treatment room, everyone was very nice and I was allowed to choose a pair of socks from a box right at the beginning, which of course immediately put me in a good-do mode. Thanks to the unknown knitter for the nice gift.
Im Behandlungsraum angekommen waren alle sehr nett und ich durfte mir gleich zu Beginn ein paar Socken aus einer Kiste aussuchen, welche mich natürlich sofort in einen gut-drauf-Modus versetzten. Danke an die unbekannte Strickerin für das nette Geschenk.

When the infusions started I listened to my favorite meditations from the recently discovered Plum Village app and it did me so much good, I was really relaxed despite all the previous anxiety.
Als die Infusionen dann begannen habe ich mir erst einmal meine Lieblings Meditationen aus der erst vor kurzem entdeckten Plum Village App angehört und das hat mir so gut getan, ich war wirklich entspannt trotz all der vorigen Angst.

I felt very well during the whole therapy and I was glad that I had taken the advice to have a snack with me.
Es ging mir während der gesamten Therapie sehr gut und ich war froh, dass ich den Rat angenommen hatte mir eine Jause (Brotzeit) mitzunehmen.

At first I thought I had taken too much with me, but then I actually ate the bread roll and the Kornspitz in the course of the morning - despite breakfast - and also nibbled on the cookies, I was so hungry.
Ich dachte zuerst, ich habe eh viel zuviel mitgenommen, aber dann habe ich tatsächlich - trotz Frühstück - die Semmel und den Kornspitz im Laufe des Vormittages aufgegessen und auch noch von den Keksen geknabbert, so hungrig war ich.

This may sound crazy now, but the time passed very pleasantly, full of rest, food, reading and meditation.
Das mag jetzt verrückt klingen, aber die Zeit verging sehr angenehm, voller Ruhe, Essen, Lesen und Meditation.

I wasn't sure at first if I should really report on this day, but after @weone dedicated a beautiful and well-intentioned but far too somber poem to me today, I thought it would be good to report to you, how my first day was.
Ich war mir erst nicht sicher, ob ich über diesen Tag wirklich berichten soll, aber nachdem @weone mir heute ein zwar schönes und gut gemeintes, aber viel zu düster gestaltetes Gedicht gewidmet hatte, dachte ich es wäre gut euch zu berichten, wie es mir ergangen ist.

Yes, these are challenging times for me right now in many ways, but I am far from stepping through the darkness and going under. So no worries and pessimism. On the contrary, optimism and good vibrations please.
Ja, es sind gerade in vielerlei Hinsicht herausfordernde Zeiten für mich, aber ich bin weit davon entfernt durch die Dunkelheit zu schreiten und unterzugehen. Also keine Sorgen und Schwarzmalereien. Ganz im Gegenteil, Optimismus und Good Vibrations bitte.

Thanks for reading :-) Yours, B.

Mutig finde ich deinen offenen Umgang mit dem Thema. Trotz aller Umstände liest es sich so, als ob dir deine Beschäftigungen während der Therapie viel Kraft geben konnten. Bleib' weiter positiv und verliere nie die Hoffnung. Dir wünsche ich eine gute Genesung!

Das kann ich mir gut vorstellen. Vielleicht unterstützt das ja die Therapie, zumindest auf emotionaler und mentaler Ebene. Wir tun uns schwer damit, gesundheitliche Themen offen anzusprechen. In vielen Fällen kann ein offener Diskurs aber sicherlich hilfreich sein - für einen selbst und für andere. :)

Ach wir haben immer noch so viele Tabu Themen wenn man es genau überlegt.

Und Hive ist der Ort, der sich da gerne von gängigen Hochglanz social Media Profilen durch mehr Ehrlichkeit abheben darf denke ich

Das denke ich auch! Weg von dem Facebook und Insta-Einheitsbrei, der dort oft zu sehen ist.

Miss Bensons Beetle... Was entertaining! Me Before You ranks right up there as a definite all time favorite, and I enjoyed the next two in that series also. The others I couldn't find in an English translation. Great to know you are reading some of the same books as me!

Hand knitted socks! They are always a treasure!

I'm glad that first day is behind you. You are doing all the necessary things to take care of yourself. ♥️

Guess you would love Jule Piper maybe one day her books will be translated.

I just finished reading William Kent Krugers This Tender Land and enjoyed that one! And before that Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. I've been on a streak of good reading!

I'm not surprised that we enjoy the same books. ♥️📚

Oh no! Chemo cocktail!! I'm so sorry @beeber I haven't kept up to speed with a lot of things on Hive. This cocktail does not sound like a happy celebratory one, but I'm very happy to hear you're taking things in your stride. Stay strong and optimistic, you know you will always have the Hive community behind you.

Sending strong vibes your way!!!

Thank you for the vibes dear, its good to get so many wellwishes from all around the world!
Hm, after the (dificult) decision was made I decided too, to see it as the best way not to fight against the Cocktail but see it as helpful. Makes sense I think.
