Well I had better catch everyone up on the blog. Just as much as Saturday was fun and full of activity, Sunday sucked. I was so wiped out and so tired I just sat in the chair and watched my race. It was difficult to get food, water as I really wanted none of it. Cheryl got home from work and made me go for a walk. The doctors told us exercise fights off fatigue and that is a big side effect of this cheemo. To make matters worse I struggled with a fever close to 101°F and I am sure that was not helping, but this is also a side effect. A lot of sleep Sunday and into Monday found me ready to go and get going (although gettting up at 6am with Cheryl is not going to happen, my body likes 7:30). I was cramped all day like I had done a 1000 situps, but without the bod to show for it. I had to double day it on the miralax because I hadn't had a bowel movement in several days and that always gets me concerned. Monday we went on full flow and that was a relief, staying out of a bag is a major goal to getting me better, losing 4 weeks due to surgery recovery would really kill my cheemo time.
Today I feel better and I am moving around much better and going to get some more work done so I can start catching up on some projects.
The big weigh in number finds me at 147, this is the lowest yet. I maybe looking for some 32" pants here soon.
Talk to you later,
Jeff
Glad the first treatment is behind you and you tolerated it well. Let's hope your next treatment goes the same way...plus, you can't very well be sick for the Colorado St. game, now can you?
