Well, it's been a good few days since I wrote. The fatigue of chemo has really affected me, but the nausea has subsided mostly, until of course, I begin my 4th session of chemo and a subsequent shot this upcoming week and I am back to square one (and perhaps it will be not as bad). I am learning constantly to listen to my body and what it needs, no matter where I want to be in society or where others want me to be. For me, this means going to bed early in the evening, as I am up early, like 2:30 a.m. daily!
Sleeping pills don't work so I stopped trying. I just cope as best I can with what my body needs. I also am learning to rest more and to not overdue my outings. I am so thankful for having this bit of respite between chemos( every 2 wks.), and force myself to walk (having my dog helps) and to do some exercise to strengthen me, and to not become a total couch potato.
For some of you who tell me that you cannot stand to read my blog, stop reading it. It is done for me, and perhaps to help someone else in a difficult medical situation.
I know that I am being carried along by some human angels on this earth who call me, write to me, pray for me, are with me , who even bring me food. Thank you all!
Adar hopefully will give us happiness both without and especially within. Shabat Shalom!
