Boy this week FLEW by. I felt mostly great throughout the days post chemo last week. Definitely tired, a couple of days where I had absolutely no taste buds and even water tasted terrible (I happen to love the way water tastes!). But I was able to cook and eat most anything and sleep came easy without any artificial assistance. I went out to a great dinner on Saturday night with Jason and his folks and sister. I got all dressed up and donned my wig and it was a really fun night out. And then Minna got sick. She woke up Sunday morning with a fever and she's still sick. And Talia hasn't been sleeping well so I am severely sleep deprived. I am one who requires 8 hours a night in order to function and be a nice human being and I am quite short on hours the last few days. I hate going into tomorrow feeling so wiped out, but I hope that with the help of the benadryl I will come home and have a nice long nap.
It's been hard adjusting to my new schedule. The week seemed to whiz past me. I now only have two days a week where it seems I feel "normal" and that will take some adjustment. Things just seem so much more hectic - maybe it's just my mood right now though? Having to visit the lab once a week is kind of a pain too. But I know the time will pass quickly.
I am hoping tomorrow will be easier than last week. With half the dose of benadryl perhaps it will not be as big of a production. And I'll be sure to drink lots of water in the morning so my veins don't give the nurses any problems. Now if only my girls would sleep, all would be (almost) right in the world....
