Even though chemo was canceled, I ended up staying at my parents anyways. I was so weak, and then with the whole crutches thing on top of it, I really didn't want to be alone. I found that when I went there, I perked up a whole lot. The first day or two I slept most of the day, but then Thursday and Friday, I was actually up and interacting! Part of me wonders if some of my weakness was just from being alone most of the day, everyday, for like 2 weeks. I am an extrovert. Having other people around energizes me. John came up and got me last night since he's home on the weekends. I am walking much better now. I still have the boot on, but at least I don't need to use the crutches anymore. That is just a pain.
I woke up this morning at around 6, which is really unusual for me. I tried to just sleep through anyways, but then Petunia had one of her little "bunny nightmares" that she has occasionally. She thumps REALLY loud. It sounds like a gunshot. It's a bunny strategy to warn other bunnies of danger, and John and I finally figured out that she does this when she has had a bad dream. Like all kids, she just needs me to go sit with her for a second, remind her that she's a safe bunny and that mommy's here, and then she goes right back to sleep. If you don't, she'll keep thumping. So, needless to say that cemented the "awakeness" on my part. So, I'm sitting here with Lula in my lap trying to get sleepy again.
I think I might have a really good weekend! I feel better than I have in a while (which probably means my blood is up!) I always overdo it though when I feel better, and I always overdo it on SATURDAY and then wake up knowing that I don't feel well enough to go to church. NOT this time! I will bide my time and stay chill today, and finally get to go to church again! I feel so out of the loop.
And another shout out to my love Laura! I got a pink package in the mail from Victoria's Secret with a card that said "For doing nothing "in style" - Laura". Inside was a set of leopard print pajamas with pink around the edges, another pink dress style pajama, and a grey robe/sweater thing. Oh! And matching leopard slippers:) I'm sure John will be glad to see me out of ratty t-shirts and my sweatpants for a change. Do I have the greatest friends or what?
