Day 9: Post Chemo

So, my day was marked by more tests today and then a follow-up shot to the chemo which put me to sleep soundly for 2 hours. By soundly I mean I didn't move and when Jason woke me up it was one of those situations where I didn't know where I was or what day it was..... I am pretty sure I haven't slept that hard since before I had my first child!

 I feel like I have been doing pretty well all things considering. The nausea has been on the horizon but I find if I snack on crackers and stuff it seems to help keep it away. Basically like when you are battling morning sickness, or at least me anyway. It is more annoying than anything else.

I have found a few things that consistently sound good to my tummy. Pudding is good. :-) That always perks me up and makes my tummy feel better for a bit. Who doesn't like pudding though! (Don't answer that if you don't like it, I am enjoying the moment.)

There are all kinds of things about chemo that I never ever knew before. It makes me feel bad for all of the people in my life that have gone through chemo and I was totally unaware of all it entailed. For example, you lose your taste buds! What a bum deal is that! Today I had a salmon salad and thank goodness for the Italian dressing because I really couldn't taste anything else.

If you could be praying for the overall health of our family I would be grateful. Both of the two little boys have coughs and I am not suppose to be around anyone who is sick, which is impossible because with a family of 6 someone always seems to be sick. So, prayers on that would be appreciated.

I am just feeling so blessed today to have all that I have in this world. Thank you to my family and friends for  being so willing to share this journey with me.

Love to all,
Andrea
