Sleeping Since Wednesday

So I did not think this month was as bad as last, but I was mistaken. I have done nothing but sleep for days. Not sure if those painkillers work, but they help me sleep. I just have to say only one more! I can do this! I have actually been up for a few hours now and have not taken anything yet, so I guess that is a good thing.

My cleaning people (aka my parents) did come by yesterday. They did some grocery shopping and cleaning. They are just too good to me. They are on their way over here now to finish up before the snow.

Another nice thing I remember about yesterday is that my friend Rich came by twice. Once to visit and once to drop off some homemade macaroni and cheese. I thought it only came in a box with that powdery cheese!

Doing Pretty Good

I had Chemo on Tuesday. Mom came with me and then Denise met me there. It was really weird because I started to talk to the guy next to me and we realized we went to high school together. He was a football player in high school and now he is this poor man with a walker and wheelchair who is fighting liver cancer and going for chemo for the last two years. Made my four months of this seem like nothing! What a reality check.

It is a good thing that Denise came because it was fun catching up and hanging out. After chemo we went to Toys R Us and I got two more puzzles. I just finished the smaller one this morning. We then got chinese food and came back home. The boys were out so it was a nice quite dinner.

This morning I took different pain killers and they are pretty good. I am not in agony, like I was the last two times. I am sore, but not too bad.

My last chemo is in two weeks. It is too early to get excited yet, but it is great to be typing about it. From what the nurses told me it seems that they will probably release me back to work a month after chemo ends. All depending on how I am doing on radiation. Which will be for six weeks. I hope I remember how to do my job when I finally do go back!

Nothing New

Been doing nothing much for the last few days. I am supposed to go for chemo tomorrow, so I am trying to stay healthy. I am still fighting this cough, but my infection seems to have cleared up. The bad thing is that Daniel started coughing yesterday and came home from school early today!

He just keeps laughing at me because I have almost no eyebrow left on my right side, but I still have more than half of my left one. Crazy ha? I do take time to draw them in when I go out.
