Things went well with chemo today. Only lasted a little under 4 hours. Physically I was fine... mentally I wanted to sit there and cry the whole time. I managed to hold it together. Looking around the room I could see I wasn't the worst off... but still sucks like hell. My hubby and oldest daughter took turns keeping me occupied. A lot of the nurses stopped over for hugs and well wishes. They remembered me from before. Not sure that's a good thing...LOL.
I don't feel too bad tonight. Just a tad queasy and a slight headache. I had a 2 hour nap after my treatment. They say it might hit me harder in the 2nd and 3rd day. Time will tell.
I am headed off to school tomorrow to help carve pumpkins for the Fall festival. I figure I can stay as long as I feel good. Melissa is going with me to be my driver. It's always a lot of fun.
So...I found the absolute down side to this weekly chemo. I am "toxic" for about 5 days after my treatment. No sharing of bodily fluids... NO SEX. There are a few ways to work around it, but not exactly what I would prefer. That leaves me less than 2 days to find the time and the mood and the alone time. I wonder how that will work? Maybe I just need to wait for my week off! Bummer. Hubby isn't too fond of this either.
Getting company for the weekend. Niece and her hubby coming in. Plan on going to the Fall Festival and a then a hockey game on Saturday. Trying to live every day.........
Ok....maybe time for bed. Early morning.
Hugs to all and I feel all the good vibes coming from you!
