Yesterday was a hard day. I woke up already nauseous and, like pain, once you're behind it, it's tough to get back ahead. It took most of the morning to get myself in order, but I eventually rallied for a quick visit from my in-laws and a trainer session with one of my girlfriends. I was able … Continue reading Finding a rhythm
A Week Off!
A whole week. More than that! I don't know what to do with myself! And that, my friends, is the issue. *twiddles thumbs* Except, I have the physical energy of a slug. Anyone who has some free time in their day who wants to slug out with me a bit this week, holler at me! … Continue reading A Week Off!
Round 1 Done
Last week was, in a word, exhausting. Fatigue still continues to be one of the main side effects I'm experiencing and my doc says that will compound as the treatments continue. The good news is I seem to tolerate the chemotherapy very well. There was a rough patch last week on the 2nd day after … Continue reading Round 1 Done
The Day After
So far, I'm feeling good. My doc gave me a host of anti-nausea medication and they seem to be doing their job. I've been able to eat on schedule. I'm SUPER tired, so I'm sticking close to bed today and watching some Netflix. Update 2:05pm - My afternoon meal is telling me something! Chicken noodle … Continue reading The Day After
And it begins…
I started a blog post yesterday explaining the process of how there are quite a few pre-medications they give me before they actually begin chemo. This includes pepcid, zofran, and benadryl. Welp, the bendryl knocked me out completely. Which, I suppose, isn't so bad in the grand scheme of things. I slept through my 1st … Continue reading And it begins…
Fancy
None of the waiting for gas to pass this time around. They're feeding me! Had lunch waiting for me too! Again, its the little things. Chemo starts momentarily. They're doing the premeds right now: pepcid, zofran, and benadryl. Then the taxol begins.
Today’s walking spot
Drove down the road to Irvine regional park and boy am I glad I did. Simply a beautiful day.
Good Days & Bad Days
My bowels continue to be a source of frustration. I have to keep reminding myself that while I look pretty darn okay on the outside, there's a whole lot more healing on the inside. That being said, each day has been different. The newness of being home has worn off, and I'm trying to contend … Continue reading Good Days & Bad Days
Finally picked up the mail
And got a whole 'nother round of loving. Thank you.
Home Sweet Home
SO. HAPPY. It feels so good to be home. My stomach is still a little wonky, so drinking Ensure. Last night's sleep was a little rough due to more cramping and back pain. The back pain was caused by the horrific hospital bed, so I know it will go away eventually. Glad to be back … Continue reading Home Sweet Home
