Day 11 (Week 3, Day 1)

Happy Monday to all!

Started my third week today the same as the first two-with the room-clearing immunity cocktail IV. It did not disappoint either. That will be my last one, at least for a little while, and anyone near me isn’t sad about that either.

Anyway, I started the day off pretty good, feeling rested after a good low-key weekend at home, and ready to go. As the day went on, however, I started to go down a little bit. This treatment, and any kind of treatment really, is obviously physical, but today the mental game caught up with me a bit. I am usually pretty good about focusing forward and not getting all caught up in how I am feeling, but today my routine, honestly, just kind of drove me a little nuts. I am used to going and then going some more and all of this resting and recovering has been difficult. I know, I know it is so important and all, but I need some action and excitement. Okay that’s dramatic, but not really working much and not exercising at all just plain sucks. I hate sitting around and I suck at it.

All of that said, however, I do realize that it is a blessing that I am not totally beaten down by all of this (like last time) and I should remind myself of that in those moments. Believe me, I remember. Hospitals, floors, twisting around to avoid pain. I remember. Whew…..okay I feel better now. Thanks for the listen. It is quite therapeutic for me to put it out there and MAKE you all a part of the healing. You’re welcome, lol.

Now that I got that out I am ready to reset. I have four days left and two of those are chemo days, so there may be some challenges, but I am ready.

Let’s go!

Talk soon.
