I've had a pretty good week, with one minor curveball. Nausea didn't hit until Monday, so I didn't feel good yesterday either. My nausea meds are magical, though. As long as I stay in front of it, I do OK. I've been exhausted today because I did "four" things. First, Kevin came and helped my cut down some wood and get it stacked in the garage. Then my good friend Mary popped over to see if I wanted to go to At Home with her. Um, YES! We went to three other places too. Then I went to the Apple store, and sat and sat some more while my laptop was loading up. And, finally, the Trunk or Treat at church. It's been a busy day, and I'm exhausted!
I'm amazed at how quickly I get worn out. A few weeks ago, running non-stop all day was just the way I lived my life. Now I can't do much of anything before I feel like I need to lay down and have a nap.
Other fun side effects are dry mouth, mouth sores, diarrhea / constipation, neuropathy in fingers and feet, skin break down, a constantly runny nose (lots of tissues don't do a nose good!), sores that don't heal, and my eyesight is going to pot. My progressives don't work anymore, distance, middle, or reading. It's teaching me to be flexible and not be surprised when my body doesn't work right. Everyone reading this should decide right now NOT to aspire to stage 4 cancer, it's really quite over-rated! In some ways, though, it is a blessing. More on that later!
