My Status: MUCH better
Mood: Ebullient
My title of the post today may be a bit cliché, but it is the truth. Or maybe more appropriately, what a difference a good night sleep makes.
What a Difference a Day Makes…
Just Pain, Not Gain
My Status: In pain
Mood: Coming out of the dark
This post is a completely different one that I had planned for yesterday—a post I didn’t get to because of pain.
Being Curly and Blessed
My Status: Feeling Good
Mood: Fabulous
This may be a short post (but knowing me, it won’t be) A few days ago, I talked about getting my hair chopped off because it has become quite bushy and out of control
A Shot and a Draw
My Status: Tired
Mood: Fair to Middlin’
Today started off with an appointment to have a shot in my eye. Yes, you read that right. …
Venturing Out
My Status: Feeling Relaxed
Mood: Amused
Today I actually ventured out of the house. Since having my treatments, I’ve pretty much been a hermit. Not intentionally…
How We Forget
My Status: Feeling Good
Mood: Content
Last night I was finishing up some work stuff and trying to figure out what my evening would look like, when I smelled a waxy, unscented, burning candle-like smell coming from downstairs. Denny was downstairs puttering around in the kitchen …
An Evening of Rest
My Status: Feeling Good
Mood: Cranky
Yesterday I thought I’d try an evening of rest. I’m back to work, albeit from home, knew I wouldn’t be writing, didn’t really want to do anything, so rest seemed like a good idea. Here’s the thing—I don’t rest well.
A Bit of the Hair …
My Status: Feeling Good
Mood: Feeling accomplished – laundry done, beds made—who could ask for more?
For those of you coming along with me on this journey who do not have an understanding of how weird and twisted a writer’s brain can be, this post may sound weird and twisted.
Day of Rest
My Status: Rested
Mood: Good
Sleep has been accomplished. And not only the drugged variety, which was interrupted by several trips during the night to excrete the extra fluids I’ve been carrying around, but this afternoon I had a honest-to-goodness, natural sleep, nap.
On the Quest for Oblivion
My Status: Tired
Mood: Relaxed
Not to sound like a broken record, but I’m tired today. I rested better last night than the night before, but sleep was still elusive. Fortunately, the issue with the prescription has been resolved, and shortly I will be floating in the fairy clouds pictured above enjoying a wonderful sleep.
Chemo Cycle 1, Day 3 – Hydration
My Status: Tired
Mood: Meh
I’m just going to jump in and say, I didn’t sleep well last night. Not because of any other unpleasant side effects (because I really haven’t had many), but I just couldn’t sleep. So I was tired today. I am STILL tired, and yet, not sure I will be able to sleep tonight.
Chemo Cycle 1, Day 2
My Status: Overall good day.
Mood: Cheerful
Apparently this cycle of chemo treatment is going to have the theme of bump in the road followed by a successful treatment where I’m still dealing with it fine. The bump in the road is characterized by the picture for this piece. And anyone who knows my family has NO trouble identifying the she in the graphic.
