Chemo still sucks...

Sorry...I'm cranky! So sick of feeling lousy! My days start out okay....I usually lay in bed for hours before I get the energy to get up...but these hours I usually feel good. Then I get up make breakfast, try to get some pills down, then I just seem to be deteriorating throughout the day! It pisses me off! By 8pm last night, I was done and feeling gross all over. My mom had to tuck me in and rub my back for a little while to calm me down. This may have been due to the fact that I tried to overdo it by going to a support group. I started making a wooden bowl at a woodworking school two weeks ago with the group...and just wanted to finish it!...and I didn't want to find time to go back on my own! So I tried...and almost completed it, but left someone else to stain it, as the smell was just too much!

Anyway....I have to go get my pump off in an hour...this is one of the low points in my week...so wish me luck! I then have an acupuncture appointment at 4pm... so hopefully that will help!

I apologize for all of the complaining...I thought that this treatment would fly by as its number 11!....but that just doesn't seem to be happening...therefore, I must complain!

Hey Kelly,
It's not complaining when you need to simply speak the truth about your situation. Your truth just happens to suck right now!! The amazing piece of your truth is that you are strong and you are willing to take the steps neccessary to get to where you want to be. Hang in there girl, your time with this chemo crap is limited :)
lots of love,
Liz

Hey Kel!
I think about you all the time. I'm so happy that you're almost done with your tx's. I can't wait to come to your party! If you are still looking for ideas, I bet a booze cruise on Lake Champlain would be fun. Have a great Christmas!

Love, Lisa
