1/27/11 – Hey y’all! I tell ya, this waking up feeling nauseous straight up sucks. In the morning you are supposed to feel rested and ready to tackle the day. Me? No, I feel sick. I have no desire to move or wiggle. I just want to feel good.
I woke up in the middle of the night/early morning very thirsty. What did I do? Go and get my own drink? Nope. “Todd…. Would you go get me something to drink?” Todd handed me a drink. I take a sip. “Oh, this is the kiwi/watermelon water…?” Todd said that it was the easiest thing to get to. “Todd… Would you get me some “real” water? I’m thirsty. Don’t forget it needs to be room temperature.” Can I just say my husband is awesome? He did all of that and got me some “real” water. It helped. I have noticed that I get really thirsty lately. I think I’m starting to develop sores in the back of my throat.
I took my medicine and got up and rolling. Oh no! Where is my makeup?! Aaah! My makeup was still in Phillip’s truck. I have places to go, people to see, things to do. I can’t go out without makeup on. Tara was already going to meet me to go get my pump removed so I got her to bring my makeup too. I had enough in reserve that I was able to make myself presentable. I met Tara on the road and we headed up to Gainsville. When we got in the office I signed in and was taken back almost immediately. The pump was removed easily and I got a good whiff of some more saline as it was pushed through my port. It was really quick and only slightly annoying. Tara and I headed out of the office about 15 minutes after we walked in.
After the week that we have had we needed a little retail therapy. We went to Target and got a few essentials. After Target we met back at Tara’s car and I headed home. Guess what I had for lunch? A cheeseburger! I have eaten like 4 McDonald cheeseburgers over the past 4 days. I don’t know why but cheeseburgers are one of the only things that taste good. All I seem to order are plain cheeseburgers.
Once I got home I worked a little. I had felt bad because I knew I missed work yesterday. Can I just say I only got 2 hours in! 2 hours! That was not intentional at all. I finished the one thing I needed to do today and for some reason I laid my head down on my unicorn pillow pet. The next thing I knew I was waking up to the phone ringing. What happened?! I fell asleep? I rarely sleep during the day. I answered the phone and then realized just how tired I was. I was wiped out. I checked my email and then fell asleep again. Maybe this chemo is a little harder than I thought.
Todd called when he got off work. I tried to clean the house up a little during commercials. When I was at the doctor today they said they would call in some special mouthwash for me so I can try to prevent the mouth sores. Todd ran by the pharmacy and picked it up for me. The bottle is so creepy looking. It looks like some homemade jumba juice. I haven’t tried it out yet. I’m a little afraid of how it will taste but hopefully it will work!
Phillip and Tara came over and had some dinner with us tonight. I’m not hungry. I really would love a frosty (original flavor) because my throat hurts but obviously I can’t physically handle a frosty because of the cold. My song of the day is the Fray “Never Say Never”. This is a good one.
Big hug! Night y’all.
