We did have a good weekend with our girls home, but I was not feeling well at all. I'm learning the pattern of my chemo. It hits everyone different. I feel fine the first 3 days and then day 4 is very hard, day 5 a little better and so forth. Days 4,5, & 6 are my hardest. By day 7 I feel good and don't have to take nausea medicine. I see why it is every 3 weeks. The first week is the treatment, second week getting over it, and by the third week you feel like your old self again--just in time to start over. I am half way through these strong chemo treatments. I have to only go through four of these and then the ones I have every week are not as potent. The good thing is I am still going to work, just not as much energy on days 4,5, & 6.
This week has been hard emotionally--just a lot going on in our lives. Every time I turn around something else is happening. Ashley had a wreck last week and Allyson had car trouble yesterday. I have stepped back at work--which is good, but hard to do for me. I have so many events--10-12 a week, that I needed to step back and concentrate on getting well. Another girl is stepping up to help and asist me. I really appreciate it, but it is hard to slow down. Just pray for me, as I try to step back. Our work is so high energy and time consuming, that it does take a lot out of me. I have to be on my feet (literally) and have my game face on at all times. I'm asking God what He wants me to learn through this process. Until next time--as always keep your eyes up to Jesus.
