Post Chemo- Day 1 feeling like shit

Well it is now the day after.  I am barely eating food at 1pm. Cream of wheat and cinnamon grahams.  I feel like I am eating my daughters snacks. It's like being pregnant all over again times 10 on the nausea.

My breakfast was pedialyte and sprite.
Hey, at least I got out of bed!  And I took a hot bath because I have this shot thing on my arm til tonite that will inject me with some medicine to boost my white cell counts. Can't get it wet in shower. Taking the anti nausea medicine is helping a little bit. And my brain isn't working as normal, feels like I have fog in my head and can't think straight, and or talk right either.  I am mixing up numbers and it takes me 3 times as long to read something too.
Tired, weak, muscles feel heavy to lift my legs.
I am so swollen that I can only get my wedding ring on my finger down to my knuckle!

Maybe by dinner time and after a nice nap this afternoon, I can eat my garden cold pressed juice and some protein for dinner.

But...if you sit in your bed and sulk all day, you won't get thru it.  So..keep busy, get up, sit up, and blog about it instead! ;) Mind over body


There are other people out there in the world that are worse off than me. 5 mins pity a day.  That's all I get!
