Sorry to have been missing in action. I had a great first week after chemo and was feeling pretty good and then WHAM I got a really bad cold which took me down hard. I went in for blood work and my counts were "in the toilet" as the nurse put it. So I was in bad shape last week. I still have a nasty cough that won't go away but I am feeling better. Hopefully my counts are back up as I have Chemo #3 today and as much as I don't want chemo I want to stay on schedule.
The good news is that my sister Jodi was here all last week so she made me good food, nagged me to take my temperature and basically made me feel happy to have someone else around so I wasn't wallowing in my own yuchiness.
Also thanks for all the emails, phone calls, cards, etc. if I am not getting back to you fast enough it's because I have the energy of a sloth. Seriously I shower, get the kids dressed for school, make bottles, drop the kids off with Kyle and then sit down at my desk I just want to take a nap...you take these things for granted but I have had to give in and just rest. Sitting down is ok, letting Jodi clean my bathroom and do all my laundry was ok, not cooking every meal and letting people help is ok...
