Back from the Dead...Almost

I am DONE with all this chemo.  I am not liking how it makes me feel.  Friday was my worst day, as expected, and the rest of the weekend slipped away as I slept and felt sickly.  I hated my life this weekend as I read all of my friends' Facebook posts about all the fun things they did over the weekend.  And all I did was sleep, throw up and feel nauseous.  I am ready to be well and enjoy being healthy.  I must say, what I am going through puts "having good health" into perspective.  I have taken it for granted and hope that I can convert to a healthier lifestyle when this is all over.  Reality has set in and it will be a struggle to stay positive and upbeat through all this.

So that is how I was feeling Monday.  Today, I am still drained and running slow from allergies or a cold.  We are going to Chicago over Labor Day weekend to visit John's family, and I so need to feel better for the drive and all the activities planned.  I definitely do not want to be a party-pooper.  I'm planning to go back to work on Tuesday and will hate to feel like this a lot of the time while there.  It will make for long, hard days.

The hair on my head continues to grow and my stubbles are getting longer, so last night I asked John to shave my head to make it smooth.  He never thought he would be doing that.  It feels much better now when I lay my head down.  But now my wig keeps slipping.  Ugh!

Those are my random thoughts for the day.

Hugs!
