Wellness Update

It's Friday night.

I have a really great post in my head that I was going to write down for today, during quiet time.

And do you know what happened? One of the chemotherapy molecules said, "Hey, team, let's re-double our efforts today!"

Because I started out feeling great this morning. Was able to PT. Was having a great time with the kids. And then, at 11:30, it felt like my bones were melting and my stomach started cramping. I became so cold, but had no fever. (This is a common side effect: losing the ability to regulate one's temp.)

I sat on the kitchen floor, my back against the glass door that was blazing hot from the sun, while the kids ate lunch. Then I crawled up to bed and told them Daddy would be coming home from work early to be with them. (Yay, Colonel Putko!)

Ugh.

I think it was a little worse because it was so unexpected. Yesterday, I had a terrifically terrible day emotionally--several things set me off to crying and crying and crying. And in the midst of it, I said, "At least I feel pretty good physically."

Well. At least today I felt pretty good emotionally.

And at least it didn't get this bad until Round 4.

And at least there's only 2 rounds to go, though now I'm wondering just how badly they are going to suck, given that I am 11 days out from my last round.

So that's my big lazy excuse for not posting today.

As Friday's are supposed to be Name Game days, and as I haven't done one for. . .2 weeks now?. . .I will post on this Saturday. Because I plan on feeling great both physically and emotionally.
