Post chemo Day 3 blahs.....

The day 3 blahs have set in.  Where I just feel blah!!  Kurt gave me my needle in the stomach this morning - first time without the nurse coming.  He does really well but the needle stings like crazy so I feel bad for him that I'm doing labour breathing while he is putting the needle in.  He's brave to do that though given how much I hate needles.  I was up at 4am this morning thanks to the steroids.  So I got up and watched the men's final tennis match.  What a crazy one that was!!!  I had a big nap after my needle today and woke up to have lunch.  The boys have been with my parents since Friday so Kurt is picking them up after nap today. 

Yesterday I felt really good.  I had a bit of nausea in the morning but not bad at all.  I just kept eating and drinking lots.  I think my mistake in the past has been not eating enough protein and letting my blood pressure get low.  So I ate tons of protein yesterday and even ate my favourite Thai food complete with mango shake for dinner.  Kurt was craving Thai but didn't want to bring it home if I didn't want it.  That would have been cruel.  But I thought "Well what's the worst that can happen?".  So I sent him out to get us both meals and shakes.  It tasted really good and sat well in my tummy.  I had my leftovers for lunch today. 

I'm feeling pretty positive and good that the last 2 rounds have gone better.  I'm happy that in 2 weeks I get my last dose of these meds - the ones that make you feel nauseous and sick.  Then the last 4 rounds are a different chemo drug with new side effects. 

Thank you to everyone for their well wishes, emails, texts, phone calls and flowers.  I am constantly humbled by how much love and support I have.
