I started radiation today and then came home and slept all afternoon. I got up when my husband got home, had a bowl of cereal, showered, and now I’m back in bed. This will be a short blog tonight. Just wanted to give an update. The chemo from Wednesday has kicked my butt more than I expected. I’ve had nausea, diarrhea, and major fatigue. I’m just waiting to ‘wake up’ already!
On Thursday, my birthday, I was thrown a huge surprise party! My family and friends got me good! I have never been gotten before but this time I had absolutely no clue! They threw me the surprise party at the little restaurant my husband was taking me too. And there they all were! It was so much fun! I forgot about all my tiredness, aches and pains…if only for a few hours. The room that we were in had karaoke going on so people would sing to me. lol It was a blast! I ended up having 2 really weak margaritas, I wasn’t supposed to….but hey, it was my birthday. Then I made sure to drink lots of water to flush it out.
I got a lot of nice gifts too…one if which is a laptop desk that you lay in your lap…using it now and I love it! Got some Holy oil that I have been using everyday…praying for a miracle. I got some money, books, candles, nail polishes, wall art, water bottles for hydration, and a decanter with the cutest little glasses for my port wines. I felt so incredibly loved that night. People came from far away on a week night just to see me. Thanks to everyone…I love you all soooo very much and I appreciate you all!!!
Since then I have been sleeping a lot. I can’t seem to keep awake for very long and when I am awake, I’m very sleepy. My body feels like it has run a marathon…and I won! lol
I sure hope my body adjusts quickly to this new medication and I can get back to living normal, or pretty close to normal. I’m glad I won’t be getting chemo brain again either. Ugh…that is rough.
Well just wanted to give a quick update on how I’m doing since starting treatment. No worries…I’m hanging in there! But I’m going to bed now. Night.
I’m pulling for you Sis! You birthday party sounds so sweet! Love you, mychael
