SHLEPPING ALONG-FEB. 12-10 THANK G.

HELLO:
WELL, 3RD CHEMO AND 3RD INJECTION DONE. STILL NAUSEA, KNOTS IN STOMACH, EXTREME TIREDNESS, BUT SHLEPPING ALONG AS BEST I CAN. I NOW GIVE IN TO MY BODY WHEN IT NEEDS TO SLEEP EVEN IF IT'S EARLY EVENING. MY DAY AND NIGHT ARE SO MIXED UP, BUT I DO WHAT I CAN.
CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANOTHER CHEMO, AND THEN A NEW TYPE OF CHEMO AHEAD, BUT ONE DOES IT. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR EVERYONE WHO IS SUPPORTING ME MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY TO DO THIS. I HAVE LEARNED TO APPRECIATE EACH LITTLE GESTURE, EACH BEAUTIFUL MOMENT OF BEING ALIVE, OF BEING ABLE TO FUNCTION ON THIS EARTH. MY TEACHING KEEPS ME LIFTED HIGH, THANK G.

I SIMPLY DON'T HAVE THE WORDS TODAY TO EXPRESS MORE, SO I WILL ADD ON PERHAPS LATER ON.
BYE FOR NOW.

ADDEND: I AM EXPERIENCING EXTREME FATIGUE, AND AM FINDING THAT I MUST STOP TO REST ON A BENCH, TO LIE DOWN, TO 'VEG OUT' MORE AND MORE OFTEN. THE FATIGUE HAS SUDDENLY INCREASED, AND I AM LEARNING NOT TO FIGHT IT. I SELDOM GO OUT IN THE EVENING NOW, DUE TO TIREDNESS. MY SLEEP HOURS ARE SO MIXED UP-I AM UP AND READING ALREADY BEFORE 4 A.M. AND SO IT IS A LONG DAY. THAT MIXED WITH SOME NAUSEA, KEEPS ME FULLY AWARE THAT I AM NOT THE REGULAR PERSON ON THE STREET, AND MUST MAKE THE CHANGES MY BODY IS CALLING OUT FOR. NICE WEATHER, NICE PEOPLE, NATURE ALL MAKE ME SO THANKFUL FOR SOMEHOW EXISTING ANYWAYS. I MUSTN'T FORGET ABOUT THE POWER OF READING TO ENTER OTHER WORLDS OTHER THAN MYSELF.
HAPPY ADAR TO US ALL-LET'S HOPE FOR A GOOD HEALTHY MONTH, WITH MANY GOOD THINGS.
