This has been a great weekend!
I've felt almost completely normal, with normal energy levels, and normal desire to do stuff around the house.
This is VERY good.
Dave took a nap, and I did NOT...total change of roles! HAH!
The week after treatment wasn't much fun. I called off sick from work on Monday. That's the first time I have had to miss work because of chemo. I just felt horrible on Monday. I really needed a full 4 days to recover this round.
The body/skin pain lasted 72 hours this time (I still think that may be the immune booster med in the on body injector, not the steroids), and I had much more nausea, though I never got sick. I am also thinking that the constipation causes me to feel nauseous.
I had really bad constipation for a full week (TOTALLY not normal for me), and I got super tired every day, and have this bizarre "cold from the inside out" feeling that I get when I sit in air conditioning.
But this weekend, I think my new sleep medication is finally working, and I've been getting much better quality sleep, and both yesterday and today, I have felt really good!
Today is Summer Solstice, too, which may have something to do with my energy. Being in tune with earth and sky as part of my religion helps me to draw on power and energy that folks who ignore that stuff can't benefit from.
It's been a really nice weekend, too, weather wise.
I can't express how pleased I am that it has not yet been 100 degrees outside!!! Today, it's only 87, and in the shade, it's perfectly comfortable.
I am thinking of changing my plan for tonight's dinner, and making us wrap sandwiches that we can eat out on the patio instead of the skillet supper I had planned. We'll see.
Dave is mowing the back 40 right now, so I have some time to decide.
Hope any dads reading this are having a nice Father's day. Happy solstice to any who celebrate!
