Finally I slept. I think the steroid from the treatment wore off. I feel so much better. I was a little loopy yesterday from lack of sleep.I think I fell asleep at like 9:30. I am leaving moms today. I feel much less nauseated. It will be good to be home. I am excited about the prospect of rain, the screen porch, and the 5 books I just downloaded on my kindle. Thanks lela, anne,and Andrew. Where to start..... I am so ready for some nonfiction.
This next 2 weeks is the time where theoretically I feel ok and I can get things done. Estes is coming to look at the heater that breaks 3-5 times a winter that they installed new 5 years ago. They keep giving me the little lady treatment, I got snarky and they are coming. My corian cracked and that is getting repaired. I am having the city take down a rotten tree in front of my house and a million other things. It feels so good to be clear headed enough to knock this shit out. Some days I couldn't do it if my life depended on it.
Plus I thunk rid and I can go on a long walk in the park. Or reasonably long. I haven't done that since feb. What a great day to walk. Even in the rain.... Ok gotta run.
More later......peace
I am glad you are looking forward to a good and productive day, Ellen. I think one of the most difficult things for someone like us is the feeling of dependency and non-productivity.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you have gone through so much shit recently.
Enjoy today!

Good thought all around ! :) - We love you Ellen
ReplyDeleteEvery time I read your blog to catch up, I can't help thinking how amazing you are.
ReplyDeleteJust got my computer back after a meltdown. Sounds as if the good days outweigh the bad...at least between chemo treatments. Yippee for you for getting things done when you feel well. Soon the good days will outweigh the bad. Sending prayers and hugs.....
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of you and this chemo you're taking for how far you have come! To even THINK of taking walks and enjoying simple things again - that just didn't even seem possible not too long ago. I pray for MANY, MANY more good days and for this chemo and your strong will and the prayers of many to make you well! Love you, Ellen.
