So, today was an interesting day. I had to get so much done that I figured that I would start from point zero and just make the loop. For the past several days, I have had so much heartburn from chemo. I have had coffee and chocolate this week and I have been regretting it since. This has been tiring me out quite a bit. I was so glad that Friday had come that I was absolutely giddy. I was able to sleep in with a couple of hours to relax and then got ready for the day. I was able to eat a decent breakfast of french toast and eggs. They were absolutely wonderful. I used honey on the toast which helped my throat. I have had a very bad sore throat for several days now and it has been bothering me some. I know that it is chemo and that I am not coming down with anything. I am experiencing all of the chemo side effects--bad throat, nose hurts, headache, tiredness, lethargy. I have not been so nauseous that I have gotten sick. I absolutely refuse to do so. However, I am very careful not to overload my stomach. I am going to need to get back to my trusty warm milk and honey with my coffee and make it light. I love my coffee, but I do have to be very careful. Without coffee, I am very tired and cannot get to things. Plus, a caffeine headache is not what I want at this point.
I am working to keep the water going. I have been sipping on water this entire time of chemo and it has been very helpful. I have to be very careful about the amount though. Too much water on my stomach can do the same thing. Just the same, all appears like it is going through the same course. The first few days after this new chemo drug was the pits.
Too, this week has brought me more headache than what I would like to have. I have been having to address things at the school and that has been taxing me. I was so angry for a few days and had gotten some good energy to attack the situation. I just am getting so tired and having such a load sometimes makes me very resentful. Too, NCIS was involved this week and the dirt bag made a contact. This is going to be taxing me as well. I need some strong energy and medicine. LORD give me strength!
The family doc is involved as well. He was able to send a response back to the school and I requested that he send me a copy of everything so that we can stay abreast of things. I am very eager to get to the end of this matter; however, it looks like I will be contacting legal counsel as well. Oh, I am looking forward to the end of these matters.
Pushing on. Pressing on. Waiting on.
