Day 2
woke up early feeling pretty good this morning. Got up finally around 9:00am and took my vitamin, calcium, iron (was told I had to take iron yesterday boooo) and anti nausea pill. Face started feeling hot around 9:30/10:00am not sure why. Brian got up and noticed my face was pink. Looked in the mirror and sure enough almost looked like I had been out in the sun. Not sure what is causing that, but it doesn't feel bad. Was feeling very jittery when I woke so felt like I needed to eat. I ate half of peanut butter english muffin and had one cup of coffee. Was hoping for morning movement, but nothing so far. Still felt like I needed to be active this morning so waited for Brian to get up and we went for a swim. It felt great.. stayed in the pool for an hour or more then out and into the shower. I always feel good once I take a shower and now that I have the short hair it's not half as much work. I do still get tired pretty easy after shower though.. not sure why as I really don't over exert myself or anything while in there. Anyway showered now, got my hair fixed and make up on and ready for my doc appt at 2:30 for my Nulasta shot. Just a quick walk in they say give me the shot then back out. This shot they say will bring on the pain in myb joints and bones. I hope to calm that down some by pre mediciating myself with 600mg of ibuprofen before shot and then as needed afterwards.. praying that will keep the pain down to a minimum. Was still feeling pretty weak and shaky after shower so ate half a bowl of mac-n-cheese whihc tasted pretty salty and I never put any salt on it (think my taste buds are changing already) and two peanut butter crackers with water of course. I know it doesn't sound like much, but try to eat what I can when I can.. something is better than nothing I guess. Anyway it is now 1:35 and we need to leave for doc appt in about 10 minutes so guess I will get off of here for now.. thanks again all for your prayers.. they are working every day..

Hey sis, I think anything you can eat is a good thing. You happened to eat all my favorites. How can you go wrong with peanut butter. I love that stuff. Remember eating peanutbutter, marshmallow and butter sandwiches when we were little? Not sure why i just remembered that. Oh well. Made sense when I typed it LOL. Can you tell it's almost the end of my day, i'm getting a little weird.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you were able to get in the pool. :)
It's been so darn hot.
I hope everything went good this afternoon. Good idea about taking the ibuprofen before your shot. You're so smart. It definitely can't hurt. I remember when Dillon was little and had to have shots, i would give him ibuprofen before every shot and it made him so much better.
I wish this blog had spell check - LOL LOL I would be able to type faster and less errors.
Getting ready to go into the dreaded traffic on 95 but so worth it when i get home. Well, not this week. I've been packing every night (yuck). Can't believe I have to move again. I hate moving but I know it is for the best.
I hope you have a restful night with no pain.
I love you, Lori
yes I do remember the peanut butter, marshmellow and butter sandwiches.. I leave the butter out now though and eat peanut butter and marshmellow. I love me some peanut butter thank goodness. I am sorry you have to move again.. I know what thats like and it stinks.. wish I could be there to help you. I will try to look into that stuff we talked about tomorrow baby.. give me a call or I will text you. I love and miss you bunches baby...sweet dreams
ReplyDeleteHey sis, Been thinking about you and didn't see a blog entry today.
ReplyDeleteI will call or text you shortly to make sure you are ok.
I LOVE YOU!
By the way I meant to mention that I asked the nurse why I had the pink face for day or two after chemo and she explained that it was the steroid they give me in the pre-meds.. I kind of like it as it actually gives me some color to my face..
