Chemo Hurts

Oh, not the actually taking in of the chemicals. That's no more painful that
having an IV for several hours. No, the second day out, I got what feels
like the fibromyalgia flare from hell. There is not a joint or muscle on my
body that doesn't hurt bad. It's been nearly impossible to sleep through it.
The pain medicine barely touches it. Thank goodness for the anti-nausea
medicine. That at least has been a God-send. I spent most of yesterday in
bed. It's 4 AM and I am feeling a little better. I am hoping the worst of it
is passing. Two days like this is certainly enough!

I have lost 21 pounds since this saga began. I just don't have any interest
in food. When I do get hungry, I try to eat, but it's not always easy to
make myself eat something. Saltine crackers seem to be the only thing at
times that will help.

On a more positive note, I got the new hats I ordered. I really like them.
I'm gonna look sharp when I do get to go to church. We went over to Wal-Mart
briefly yesterday since that's the only place that sells the cottage cheese
I like. I wore a mask and my cancer awareness hat and used one of their
little go-carts. We weren't even there a whole half hour, but it was outside
these four walls. Then we came home and I went back to bed.
