This Weeks Chemo

Received chemo on Wednesday and that all went well.  Enjoyed working on my bible study on the Book of Esther.  The scripture references given from various books were uplifting and encouraged me strive more to be a better person, with a good attitude.  We can never have too much of that.

By the end of the day after treatment my body ached like I had a fever and the lack of sleep from the previous night began to catch up with me.  I took a sleep aid... actually two sleep aids, and slept like a rock through the night.  I felt completely drugged out and couldn't wake up in the morning.  I slept until noon,  woke up for less than an hour then slept on and off through the rest of the day until bed time.  Amazingly I slept through the night after all that.  WARNING!!  Don't double up on your sleep aid.  That was dumb.

This morning I feel great.  Fresh, rested and ready for my trip to UCLA for my brain radiation today.  Hanna is taking the day off from school to go with us.  She wanted to see just what this radiation business is all about.  It will be nice to have her there.  We're stopping off for a quick little visit with my sister for a little lunch first, and then my appointment is at 1:20.

Next week I don't have any chemo.  It's Spring Break, so the kids will be out of school and that will be nice.  Andy going to a mini camping trip with youth group.  Hanna's trip to Magic Mountain got cancelled so I'm going to have to come up with something fun for her.  She's so disappointed.

Have a good weekend.
