My sister left Sunday, Mom and Bob left Monday, Vicki and Bryn left Monday, and Ken went back to work. I would have loved to go back to work, but instead I am at home trying to take care of myself. I am not enjoying the time off. But, this to shall pass!
I am trying to take my meds sooner than later so the stomach cramps aren't as bad. They started getting bad Sunday. I have been trying to stay horizontal as much as possible. I tried to sleep as much as possible on Monday, but I wasn't real sleepy. I took the stronger pain meds before I went to bed last night and we opened the door and I slept better than I have in a while. I have slept off and on between dog in and dog out today. I am cold and then I am hot.
I am revising my idea about when I won't have to wear a wig. I was thinking I could stop wearing it after Christmas, but I think it will be Valentine's Day. My hair is very gray! When you have colored your hair as many years as I have it is and it isn't a surprise to have so much gray. My sister has gone gray and I think she thinks I should too. We will see. Ken is ready to have me color it. It is what it is.
Chemo is over and I am so thankful! It has been a hard journey, but I am so fortunate to have all the support of my family and friends. Thank you for your love, confidence, and kindness. I hope not to miss many more days of school. I still have the herceptin injections every three weeks and seven weeks of radiation to go through, but I am sure the worst is over and things will get easier!
