Tripping merrily over the yellow-brick road the day after the day after the day...........Chemo Day #1 was not the worst day of my life. Heck it didn't even hold a candle to some of the not so bad just generally pissy days I've had over the years.....mostly it was boring, hooked up to an IV that I had to haul around with me on my uncounted trips to the patients restroom where the most interesting thing that happened was the one time that I peed red. And it wasn't even a bright red at that. Certainly nuthin' to ri te home about......
I don 't know if all the books I took w/me were all boring or if they were boring 'cuz of the pills & chemicals I ingested whilst sitting there in one of the most uncomfortable recliners I've ever met.....( prob'ly a combo of both)
I understand that a big part of my N-Som has been the result of the prednizone but I slept well last nite which is why I'm posting at this time of day....it's also s'pozed to gimmee more energy but I don t' feel like running 'round the block tho' I might take the dogs for a stroll later this AM.....and maybe, just maybe, I'll go swimming this afternoon. They tell me that some people don't get really nauseous (thanx to the anti-N pills) but that fatigue sets in two or three days later and that is sposed to be difficult to deal with...altho frankly since I've been lazy all my life, I don't know that I'll be able to tell the difference.
Still, it's a lovely day here and while I have no interest at all in cleaning the yard, a little stroll around town with the dogs doesn't sound at all bad......wish you could join me whilst I still have hair on my head.........David
