Chemo. Round 2. Day 3.

Words to describe today:

Groggy. I woke up feeling incredibly groggy, and I am sure this medication I need to take for three nights to keep nausea at bay is the reason. I had a hard time with it last time around, as well. My practitioner prescribed a half dose, but even that seems to be a lot for me. But, on the positive side, I have had absolutely no nausea.

Exercise. Although I am moving more slowly, I was still able to get a run-walk in this morning and enjoy the beautiful colors right before sunrise.

Nutrition. I am eating what my body is asking for, and my body has been asking for eggs. It’s a good thing our neighbors have chickens and give us fresh eggs regularly. I’m thankful for Dave and Shelby!

Bone pain. A common side effect of this form of chemotherapy, I’m thankful that it’s been manageable without the need for additional medication thus far.

Low-key productivity. I have a really hard time doing “nothing,” so I was thankful for tasks that I could do while resting today, like editing the newsletter for Hudson or having a Google Meet with Scheska, Steeve, Vorb.

Best part of my day? A visit from Jared and flowers from Hannah.

Prayer request. I will see Dr. Robinson at 2:40 tomorrow to talk about my CT results. Prayers appreciated as we discuss next steps. This will be an important conversation.

But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.
