Today was the first day after my first round of chemo. They told me, "However you are after your first round, that is what you can expect for the rest of the treatments." Well, I think i did great.
Mike woke me up early this morning to let me know he was taking the baby to daycare and our 4 year old to work with him for a few hours. I was a little confused because I thought it was Saturday. After a short disagreement, I realized I'm off a day and went back to sleep. I slept awesome. I rolled out of bed a little after 10, and got ready for the day.
I took a pill for nausea, and that helped me through the day. I was worried about the throwing up thing, but the medicine is pretty strong stuff. I have 3 others on top of what I had for the surgery, so it is hard to keep track. We have a put together a sheet to help us out on what medicine needs to be taken at what time. It works out pretty well.
This afternoon I went back to the doctor to get a shot. It helps with the white blood cells that I loose during chemo. It makes it possible for me to be out in public and all that. We ran a few other errands and even went to the Firewheel Mall to check out Old Navy ($2 cami's if you say Cami For Me).
We just got home a little bit ago and I am still a little sleepy. Maybe tomorrow will be a lazy day for everyone. For me anyway. We may make our weekly trip to Costco and Sam's, but besides that, I think we will be home... that is until the evening. We are going to the circus! I am excited. a friend of mine won 8 tickets, and was nice enough to offer us a few. It should be loads of fun, especially since I haven't seen my friend Liz since college.
So, all in all, the day after was not at all what I expected it to be. I am tired, but it's a great excuse to be lazy!
