Days following Seventh Chemo

DAY 1 (April 30) -

Slept quite well last night.  Woke up kinda tired and was just lazy most the afternoon. Was unable to nap so I decided to go pick up Kalli from my moms.  She was going to stay another night because Kurt had to work but I missed her too much :)  And was feeling decent.  My taste and appetite aren't great today.  But other than that no more to report.

DAY 2 (May 1) -

Had a good sleep until Kalli decided to wake up at 6 and not go back to sleep.  I was again just pretty lazy all day. Didn't even get out of my PJ's.  I was able to take a okay nap.  I really wish it had been longer.  Taste still not great. Appetite decent.
HAIR NOTE: Ever since I had my head shaved, my hair continues to grow quite fast.  I am debating on just letting it grow now.  I have a feeling that my hair may have not fallen out. Who knows....

DAY 3 (May2) -

Slept better last night.  Felt tired today but didn't seem as bad as usual. I did still take a nap which could have been longer and I had no desire to do much of anything. But overall I felt ok. Taste still off and started getting the heartburn and bone pain today.  Well I guess I don't really have more to add to that.

DAY 4 (May3) -

Slept good again last night. Was pretty tired again all day. Took a nap but I didn't get a very good nap at all.  Been raining so much here that were all antsy to get out of the house.  So we went out for dinner then stopped at Target to do a little bit Mother's Day shopping. By the time we got home I was so exhausted and in a ton of pain.

DAY 5 (May 4) -

Slept okay. Woke up in a ton of pain. Was worn out and in pain all day with no relief.  I took a pretty good nap. Was able to make dinner and give Kalli a bath but that really pushed it for me.  Was just too much to handle.  So sad. Most people think of these as simple tasks.  But for me right now it was extremely hard. I was in tears by the end of bath time.  After Kalli went off to bed I took a hot bath as the doctor had suggested at one point for my pain.  I also took some ibuprofen along with that. At this point I feel a little relief but nothing significant. My taste is coming back now which is certainly a plus.

DAY 5 (May 5) -

Had a really hard time falling asleep last night. Still had a lot of pain that just didn't let up.  I felt better today when I woke up, I only had mild pain and tiredness.  Went to the grocery store with Kurt and Kalli mostly to get out of the house. It was actually a nice day for once. After we got home I was extremely exhausted.  The store really wore me out. I took a long and heavy nap.  And still now I am very tired.  My pain has increased too. I am just hoping that I am able to sleep better tonight.
