Well the last 10 days were so great compared to the first 10 days! I now know that it does get better and nothing is permanent at this time.
Did a lot this week getting ready for chemo round 2.
Lots of cleaning, organizing, getting premade meals, grocery shopping, all other shopping, lined up a maid weekly as the cleaners smells still bug me, and my energy spent hanging with my family is so much more worth it than cleaning 3 weeks of dust and dog hair.
Got a few other contractors lined up in the coming weeks to wash windows inside and out and also do a concrete curbing job my husband wanted to complete this year.
Did family photos yesterday up at this gorgeous park we love called Daniels Park by our house which is also where we did our wedding photos at 3 yrs ago.
I worked on our photos from our Alaska trip, saving on my computer and printing them out for framing in our home.
We took an overnight trip thru the mountains to Breckenridge Colorado to enjoy the fall colors and take a trip of enjoyment. And...it snowed for the 1st time on the first day of fall up there. Just enough to have gorgeous photos! Brrr...I'm not ready for winter.
I got my hair highlighted, went to acupuncture 2 times this week , got my first colon cleanse experience , and didn't blog much because I WAS SO BUSY enjoying life !
The only thing I have going on is exhausted by 4pm daily (and I have been sleeping a solid 8 hours no meds give or take a broken 2 hours from 3am to 5am..seems to be hard to fall back asleep). And I have the worst hayfever ever. My eyes have been watering for 4 days and nose is stuffy and sneezing bad. I have tried Claritin, benedryl, and walfinate and antihistamine eye drops. Nothing works I am kinda looking forward to my "off the grid" next few days of sleeping off the nausea just to be able to let my eyeballs heal!
They burn, itch, and water so bad that my make up didn't stay on for photo shoot , and I am very chapped around them it burns to put on lotion!
Tomorrow is chemo day round 2. Same dosage as last time. No neulasta.
I'm expecting no leg pain this time, however, I will now have to have even more pokes by the nurse to get 2 blood checks weekly now to check white cell counts more often. I'm still bruised from 2 weeks ago when she poked me for fluids!
The bruises seem to not go away, and I have been told I now have "chemo" veins..which run and hide when you poke em. And I have bad veins to begin with! I'll have to get gloves so that people won't thing I'm a drug user!
I'll be blogging again daily. Keep all you posted!
Thanks for your support and reading this!
