I was so happy to get the chemo ball and catheter out yesterday so I could get some sleep, and sleep I did. I took a two-hour nap from 5 - 7 then slept from 9 -7. I'm still fatigued as hell but that's 12 hours of much needed sleep. I am eating, which is a good thing.
One thing I really didn't like was a side effect I experienced yesterday when I got home from the VCU. All of a sudden every single muscle and bone in my body began to ache like I'd just been in a train wreck. I couldn't get comfortable and frankly would've gone insane (seriously, it hurt that bad) if it wasn't for the pain meds. Dilaudid is a wonderful substance. Once that kicked in I was out cold for two hours, then went to bed. Thankfully that aching hasn't returned today (yet) but I'm ready for it now.
I got a little exercise this morning but am now completely spent. I'm hoping that will improve gradually each day I am farther removed from the chemo so I don't lose my Adonis-like physique (HA) and whither away to looking like Mr. Burns in The Simpson's.
Okay, I'm going to get my game face on for the PSU opener today at noon (Indiana State...snore). I hope everyone has a safe, and fun Labor Day weekend.
Still hanging?
