Well, I am now back home at the apartment. I stayed at my parents house a few days longer than usual. (I have to give a shout out to Melanie Newton who picked me up from chemo and stayed with me the rest of the day at my parents house till they got home.) The chemo hit me a bit harder this round than past rounds. I was in bed pretty much all of Friday and all of Saturday. Still though, no nausea!!! (or at least not much) So there are NO complaints on this end! I can handle all the lethargy you can throw at me. Just don't give me the nausea, and we're good.
I was at lunch with John and my parents today. Towards the end, my hands did their cramp thing, which made me laugh (because they look so ridiculous!) and Mom joined in the fun and started doing "the claw" at me, because they kinda look like that. (For those of you who have seen "Liar, Liar") Thanks Mom for mocking my pain:) Later, when I was on my bed, my foot did a really awesome cramp, and made the toes on my right foot give the "live long and prosper" star-trek symbol. It was fantastic. I could have never done that on purpose. I really do have to take those pills like clockwork 3 times a day, or else my body starts doing all sorts of party tricks.
I'm planning on taking this week sorta easy. I feel better, but I still feel a little wiped out. Thank you Lord that I have time, and the ability, and permission and the means to rest! Pretty much anything that I consider hard/difficult in my life, I always remind myself that there are single moms out there doing the same thing, and it blows my mind and reminds me of how "easy" I have it.
