Yesterday started out so great! I didn't feel bad, and it was only two days after chemo! I even went on a 2 mile walk on my crutches with my father-in-law. He was over keeping me company while my two moms were out having fun at sewing expo in Puyallup. We grab a little banana bread at Sun Break Cafe and headed home for lunch. I have to admit thought that I started to feel a little down during lunch and the rest of the day never got any better. Actually I felt sick last night.
I slept better last night, but I am still feeling very tired today. The best way I can explain the feeling is that I feel very heavy. Every limb feelings like I am wearing weights on it. That and I feel a little out of it, like I took a valium. I do find, however, that drinking half and half does make my stomach feel better and eases some of the prednisone affects I usually feel. Let's just say I won't be doing any 2 miles walks today. I am braving going to sewing expo because it would make my 2 moms so happy to see me go. We'll see how it goes.
All in all, this chemo round is not nearly as bad as some of my earlier rounds. The first day was horrible, but these last two days are a vast improvement. I am surprised how each chemo is so different. There is no real way to predict how I will feel or what I will be up for. Who knows what my next cycle will be like? Hopefully there will only be 2 more anyway!
added a few hours later... Well, expo went ok. I was able to get through due to my wheelchair and my mom pushing me everywhere. I am glad to be home though, and I am exhausted. I don't think I will do anything tomorrow. I think I may be pushing it a little too far.
