Chemo Round 3. Day 1.

Today my lab appointment was at 7 am. I saw Dr. Robinson and Tiffany between 8 and 8:30, and my infusion started about 8:45. My day ended before 7 pm when Crystal removed the final cap.

For the first time, I was able to nap, and I napped hard for about 2.5 hours, stirring only when the cold caps were changed every 25 minutes.

Surprise of the day? I got a private room! It was a luck of the draw thing, and it was wonderful. I am sure that contributed to my ability to nap and relax, despite it all. Thank you, Jesus, for small blessings.

Jared brought lunch and came back to the house with me and Crystal when we finished at Zimmer a little before 2. Vince Rogers came to visit for a couple of hours late this afternoon, so between their visits and the nap, a very long day was made so much more bearable.

I am dealing with substantial nausea today, as well as pronounced food aversions, but overall I’m still feeling strong and hope to go to the beach in the morning.

This was the last cap of the day. It felt so good to take it off!

I saw this today for the first time, and it summarizes my outlook as I continue to “get busy living” between these days I would never have chosen for myself.
