Wow, chemo got a late start today (two plus hours) and here I am two hours out of chemo and I feel nasty. My hands are shaky, I have trouble spelling words. I found out also that my vision problems were stemming from the anti-nausea patch that I wore behind my ear. I don't wear that, and I can continue to read. Typing is a bit of a problem sometimes. I always tend to forget how horrible, and how quick, I go downhill with chemo. A fair amount of pain involved as well.
I have some new volunteers picking me up with week from chemo. I like meeting new people, especially as most of my day is either at home feeling horrible, or at the hospital infusion center. I kind'a wish the nurses there could see me when I am a better mood. They almost always see me in pain of some sort. One nurse made a comment the last time I was in about actually hearing me make a joke. (And to most of you that would probably be a surprise)
We had a very generous donation of a dinner tonight. Enough Lasagna to feed a family of 5... for 3 days. It looks really good. Also with bread and salad! Lisa and I like cooking for other people, and it's nice to give Lisa a break from cooking to sample other people's cooking as well.
Thanks again for the continued prayers and support. And please forgive my spelling over the next week.

When I make lasagne now, I save a few pieces out for leftovers, then I cut the rest up into serving-sized pieces and wrap them individually in Saran. They defrost quickly in the microwave and make a great, quick meal for Dad when he's on the go for school.
ReplyDeleteRight, we froze a good amount of it for later. =) As instead of eating it for the next week. =)
