DAY 1 - (April 2, 2011) -
Had some trouble sleeping last night. It is so hard being so tired but not being able to sleep. My knees were really bothering me. I took a melatonin and put a pillow between my legs. After about 45 mins I was able to fall asleep. I woke up feeling okay today. I was able to pick up Kalli from my moms. I did take a 2 hour nap afterwards and have felt tired ever since. My taste is way off again and I have not really been hungry. I am very happy to say that my knees and arms have not bothered me at all today. I really hope to get some better sleep tonight. Until tomorrow....
DAY 2 - (April 3, 2011) -
Took a melatonin before even laying down last night. Didn't have too much trouble falling asleep. I did however had a problem staying asleep. I woke this morning with huge headache. I could move off the couch until about 4 this afternoon. Luckily Kurt took Kalli grocery shopping and I was able to get a 2hr nap and he was just ahuge help today. I have been tired and nauseous and just felt like crap all day. My taste is way off still. So much so that I can't even drink water. I am having a hard to quinching my thirst. So annoying. LOL! Well that's all got today.
DAY 3 - (April 4, 2011) -
Slept much better last night. I took another melatonin and read a bit and don't even remember falling asleep. And I stayed asleep all night! Woke up tired and and worn down. Felt nauseous for about half the day then it started to ease up after a while. My taste is still off. I can't wait until that wears off. It is a very annoying side effect. Well I guess that is really it for the day.
DAY 4 - (April 5, 2011) -
Took a melatonin before bed again. (Looks like this may have to be common practice for me the week after chemo.) And I also read for a while again. I was able to fall asleep well. However when Kurt's alarm went off this morning I woke up and I had a very hard time falling back asleep. At some point I finally did but it wasn't good sleep. I took Kalli to the sitters today and took about a 4 hr nap. That was really much needed. I didn't feel nauseous today so that was a huge plus. My taste is still off but I can tell it is getting better. My appetite has been off since treatment and that really hasn't improved a ton yet. But usually when I get my taste back I get my appetite back too. No more to report for the day.
DAY 5 - (April 6, 2011) -
Slept well last night. Again took a melatonin and read some of my book. I keep dreaming a bunch though which is keeping me from sleeping well. I decided to keep Kalli home with me today. Which probably was not the best of ideas. We didn't even do anything and and by nap time I was exhausted. I took a two hour or so nap. My taste and appetite still the same as yesterday. But I can tell now I am starting to feel better.
DAY 6 - (April 7, 2011) -
Slept pretty good again last night. Felt decent when I woke up. My taste and appetite are back to normal (thank goodness!) Decided to take Kalli and I to the store to get a dress for Saturday. We were in the store for no more than 20 mins then headed back home. And wow I was exhausted afterwards. My whole body was tired. And I was unable to get a good nap in when Kalli was napping. People kept calling and the dog kept barking. Kurt had to work both jobs so I had to pull through and make dinner and play with Kalli even though I just wanted to veg. After Kalli went bed I took some time to relax then went to bed. Was a long exhausting day for me...
