Chemo Yesterday

I had chemo again yesterday. And again a marathon session. Got in to the Doctor's around 9:30am and left around 5:30pm. After working a rather long string of 12 and 16 hour days last week and the week before I hit the wall around Thursday and needed to sleep and sleep I did for 48hours. With a few breaks for food and what not.

For Ani and I it was a great way to spend out 5th wedding anniversary. We focused on the good times and the happiness of the day, and the days that have followed, and looked longingly to the days to come... then I feel a sleep again.

Before I passed out again - I did have a moment to say hi to Alicia who got here Thursday night, and has been a God send. I didn't think we would need an extra set of hands on chemo day but I could not have been more wrong. It has been great having people here on those days I don't know how we would done it without it.

I am feeling good today but a little crappy none the less. I have that post chemo feel. Again the best way I can explain it is like a really, really bad hangover with none of the fun the night before.

What I have learned is no more 16 hour days going to need to cut back to 12 hours days... ;)

We have been getting all your cards and well wish gifts of food and money and it is all been a huge help. I am working on the thank you cards and I am determined to get them out - I promise.

Feeling Good and a Quick Update

I wanted to thank everyone for all that they have been doing. From helping to pay to have some help clean the house. Huge help by the way. It means Ani and I can stay on top of things with out using up every once of energy we have and devote that energy to getting healthy.

Last week in an effort to help deal with the fatigue and increase the body’s own happy juices we joined a gym for the time being. I have to say it has made a world of difference for me. The best thing is it has a pool and a hot tub. I spend a few minutes chilling in the hot tub swim a few laps all just before bed and I wake feeling great.

I have to say that I am less than looking forward to my next chemo session. Even though it means we are half way done I am ready to have the end of chemo party. But that said I was expecting this all to much much worse. The best way I can describe it all is as low to mid grade hangover for days at a time. But without the party the night before.

Again thank you all for the love it gets us through the tough times.
