Took ambien last night, slept pretty good. Straitened up house then Linda picked me up n we went to REI, then to dickeys for bbq, then lowes then home. Great visit. Was nice to get out of house instead of watching Paula Dean n her butter all day! Linda bought me this cool tye dye beanie. Love them. They r breathable n stylish. Thank you Linda Linda.
I don't know why I didn't take a sleeping pill! I figured it was 1230am, I'm tired, I'll sleep. Ahhhh noooo. By the time daniel rolled over and chatted with me, he said it was 2am? Then I got up at 4, then 730. Then finally 1030. Felt such choppy sleep. I even slept without wedge pillow thinking I would sleep better. Ahhh noooo. I will learn. I didn't even have caffeine or chocolate to keep me up.

Had a good day. Rested, exercised. Focused on left arm. Straightened up, made the bed, took out toilet seat riser. Trishies growing up so fast. I almost had energy to swiffer floors. Alison brought over some amazing pizzas. 1-veggie , 1 bbq chicken. Sauce was awesome. Thank you Alison. We shared some wine n lots of laughs. I can have some alcohol but within limits n make sure I drink lots of water. Covered!!!! How did I get so lucky to have worked for her 12 yrs ago n we r good friends today

Not much to write about the past few days. Was so lonely on Saturday. Daniel was working til 11pm n I watered the front yard n that's about it. Was feeling good but didn't want to swiffer the floor, do laundry, go walking. So was in my box with my remote.

Thank u Linda for upping my bland taste buds with my favorite food, chips n guacamole n spicy burrito. Went to rest room 5 x today. Yayyyyy. I still bought fig newtons n raisin bran in case stool softener stopped working. Was nice to hear from Jen. I owed her a phone call big time.
I went n bought myself n elk burger n frings today! Expensive but I needed to get out of house. 1 cuz of orkin man, n just get out period. Half that elk burger was so good. But arm was getting hard n sore because it was not elevated. Did lots of edema exercises today. Helped alot with inflammation. I have to be careful to not over due iit. My affected side was stretched a bit n was hurting like a sunburn. Another day tomorrow. Mmmm raisin bran!!! Night night

Thought chemo was gonna get rid of periods/ cramping!!! Someone lied! Oh well. I hate being constipated but my 6am restroom call was just awesome this morning. So awesome that I thought I was waking the 4 yappy dogs next door with my excitement of my movement.
I didn't take my shot last night r upping my white blood cells because 3 syringes r bad. I'll take it tonight with the refill I got today.
So tired n nauseus today. Started some laundry. Hate putting it away. Dishes r pilling but I'll nap n throw them in dishwasher.
I now have pt next month for my arm. Lymp swelling in arm bugging me. Must take precaution of no lymphedema.

2 Nd round of chemo was Thursday. All was going well until last bag, last 30 minutes. Needed to go pee, sat up from reclining position then whamo!! Pix frame fell on my head. Ice pack n Tylenol came quick. So did 4 chemo nurses n my dr. "that metal tray was supposed to have been on a requisite list to be removed!" duh.2 days late I'm sore but ok. Daniel n I shaved each others hair earlier today! Cried once because I did look like a fat chemo patient. Took a shower, brushed off excess hair, washed my new head n felt new beginnings. I don't look too bad at all. G.I. Jane got nothing on me.
