I know I have been absent this weekend. Just didn’t want to bore you with mundane stuff.
Did the transfusion work? Hard to say. I was still sick last
night, Day Six in the evening, same as last cycle. Not as sick as I was last
time. And I did pretty good today, again, until this evening. Now I am tired, not
hungry but am gonna try to force myself to eat something. I did have broth
today and some egg custard (Thanks to Nancy from church).
I am charging my medical marijuana pen. I don’t utilize it
enough, but I think I’ll try it tonight to build an appetite.
Maybe some toast with apple butter.
Honestly, more than nausea it’s just tiredness. I don’t want
to do anything.
Last night, I sat with my phone and wrote so that was
something.
I have three appointment all on Wednesday. MRI, radiologist,
then PT. The first two are across the river on the far side of town, the PT is
close to home.
I just hate having to go into town. It’s a long drive during
rush hour and I have to find someone to take me because I’m not supposed to
drive too far on my medication. Which means I have to inconvenience someone to drive
me.
Trying to do that now, have maybe my son drop me off and my
daughter come and get me.
Really, I wish I didn’t have to do this.
It means getting up at six in the morning when I am already
so tired. I just keep telling myself it’s only a few days out of three weeks and
I have to endure this because it’s working.
I did however look at my chemo schedule and saw 48 Hour Film
Fest is the weekend before a treatment. Meaning that should be a ‘feel good’
weekend, so I signed up. Those of you who know me, know I do it every year, so I
am gonna do this.
Those of you who don’t know what that is. It’s where you go
on a Friday, get your genre, required elements and make a short film, turning it
in within 48 hours.
Should be fun.
Fun.
Fun for me would be eating a giant dish of pasta without worry
of getting sick.
Okay I’m complaining. Just know it’s more so about these
appointments this week.
Most of the time, in the day I feel good. I haven’ missed work
at the church.
I am grateful that God has me. And just so you know, every
time someone tells me they’re praying for me, it means a lot.
So I am going to end this boring update.
Just wanted to keep you all in the loop!
I like that expression "I'm glad that God has me" Enjoy the 48 hour Film Fest.
