Yesterday I started to feel better and actually limited myself to 1 nap. I am starting to think that the more time I spend lying around makes me feel more exhausted. Weird I know but I think my body just assumes that I'm to be in bed all day. After napping when the boys did Jack and I had a "Mommy and Jack afternoon". I got my wig on, put my make up on and we headed out to get his hair cut. Then off to Tim Hortons for some donuts before picking up supper and heading home. It was SO nice to just be out with Jack. He has been having such a hard time with everything and I think it helped him to see me looking somewhat "normal" with my wig on and out and about. We left the hair salon and he said, "Well that was excellent". I guess having 2 suckers, watching a movie and getting stickers makes for an "excellent" hair cutting experience. It was a fun afternoon together and I think I needed it as much as Jack did. I have been trying to hang onto anything "normal" through all this and yet I feel like nothing has been normal for so many weeks.
This week I have LOTS to get done before my 3rd chemo on Friday. My sinus infection is still hanging on but I feel that I can function at least so I've got to get our and get things checked off my "to do" list. I'm happy that I'm onto my 3rd round which means that I'm almost done the first 4 rounds before my chemo meds change for the last 4. In my mind I have been breaking my chemo down by the first 4 and last 4 treatments. It seems more manageable in my head to do that rather then thinking of it all as 4 months. I can't believe it has been 2 months since my diagnosis. I feel like so much has happened since then but yet April feels SO far away. One day at a time.......
