Oops ... sorry I haven't posted more often. Let's blame it on 'chemo fog brain'! ;)
Saturday was Athol Daze! (99th anniversary of incorporation). Jim did his usual "Cake Walk" running. Deborah helped him this year since I was still tired from Thurs & Fri treatments. He said he had 10 cakes (12 is usually max since people 'wear out' quickly)
Sunday did the usual chores, felt okay, just still tired & achy. Kinda got in the mode for cooking so made some yoghurt.
Monday went to work for 7 hours. Was a little 'off' all day, but it was only day 4 after the chemo. Heard from an email friend on same cycle as I am, she said over half her lymph nodes are free of cancer (yeah!). Made me think about mine (kinda in lala land believing almost all of mine are gone). She's had a CT scan to check progress. Dr. hasn't mentioned anything about a followup scan for me (next time is cycle 6). Kinda figuring I'll go 8 cycles (have .. should I say HAD ... that big tumor), so that put me in a bit of a downer mood. Being at work perked me up so left in better state than when I came in.
Tuesday woke up feeling FANTASTIC! Had energy and was wide awake (day 5 of prednisone). Worked 7 hours, moved computers, tidied (did I spell that right?) up my work area and basically 'over did it". When I got home I had a bite to eat, then started watching the Olympics. Wanted to see the equestrian events and Phelps swimming for medals, ended up 'dozing' through all! Oh well that's the way it goes.
Wednesday felt better (not as great as the morning before), and put in another 7 hours. This time I didn't doze through the programs I wanted to watch! All in all a pretty good day.
Thursday (today) is starting out an okay day. Yesterday I didn't drink as much (sorry Dianne) as I should have, but it was nice not waking up every two hours to pee! Plan on doing 7 hours today as well.
As you can see, not a whole lot to report, but I tried!
Love to all
