Chemo Day Whatever

Well warriors, chemo is no joke. I lost all of Friday. I remember talking to my uncle and him telling me to go lay down, so I did. Other than that, almost zero recollection of Friday. I think I had a Panera bread bowl too. It’s all I’m craving. 

Saturday Fluids

Saturday, they had me go in for fluids, IV zofran and Pepcid. A fun, new and quite strange side effect is hiccups. Even when I sleep, I hiccup. It’s going down, but still comes out of nowhere. On the way home, I smelled Runza and decided I could try a burger and frings. I ate all the rings and burger. Two spoiled dogs may have gotten the fry portion of the frings. 

The fluids gave me about five hours of being able to function. My uncle came by again because he’s in town. We all went for a walk with the dogs while I was up for it. Science says it’s best to try and do something active when I can. Then he and Mitch hung up some bedside lights in our bedroom, and back to bed it was for me. I felt some annoying bone pain in the evening and am unsure what time I actually fell asleep. 

Sunday Sleep & Nutrients

Today, I woke up feeling better than before. Another Ensure protein shake, Gateraid, and a toddler-size portion of spaghetti. Who doesn’t love spaghetti first thing in the morning? It just sounded good and science says I should eat what I can when I can. 

Mitch has been making sure I’m staying on top of it, or at least staying hydrated. Lots of protein shakes and Ensure over here. I’ve always liked Ensure, so I’m not mad about it.

Trekking On

A lot of people told me the first dose isn’t too bad, but I guess I’m either A) a wimp, or B) one of the lucky few who maybe feels like sh*t at first, then gradually better?… Here’s hoping B is the most correct answer! Come on science, be on my side and have the most correct be B!!!! ????????????

More Panera is on the way; just a soup bread bowl. Ordered Mitch a surprise salad and fancy coffee, too. Gotta take care of my boo, too! Thanks for everything, warriors!
