I started round 7 on Wednesday. On Thursday I headed to the drug store to pick up some prescriptions. I got confused and then really frustrated when the orders couldn't be filled yet. I felt myself start to mentally collapse because I had walked to the drug store and I would have to come back again the next day. As swiftly as I started to panic, I remembered that I'm taking chemotherapy drugs!!! How funny is it that it was a relief! I was able to check my feelings and balance them with a little grace.
Yesterday I made it until noon and then slept all day. Walking up the steps was hard and took my breath away. Today I couldn't stand. A shower was exhausting and it felt as though a heavily weighted X-ray blanket was pulling me down. So, I am back in bed. It's actually quite nice. The kids and Paul are skiing and I can't do much so I actually sat and read, which I never do. The nausea is still hanging on, but I'm coping. I guess this is what people do when they relax? Sit in quiet, read, and nap. Why haven't I tried this before?
My next MRI will be February 4th.
I'm continuing to pray for Dugan, Pete and Bill... my brain cancer buddies. Please add them to your prayer list!
