Day 2

Well, day 1 post chemo done. So far, so good. I know the tough stuff is coming though. I woke up and had to take a compazine, and now I'm just waiting until I can take the good stuff. I may take it an hour early today, I don't think I can wait. I'm a bright tomato again this morning, and I'm shaking. I guess the poison is still in there, doing it's work.

I was definitely done by 7 last night. Fatigue is starting to set in. Prince Charming did an excellent job with the neupogen shot, although it did sting and itch. 6 more to go. I had no long bone pain as was threatened, but I took tylenol beforehand, and then slept, so maybe that helps.

My sister in love took Princess M after school yesterday, and will do so again today. I hope her memories of this time are vague. I don't want her to see me sick all the time. She keeps asking if she can feed me. She wants to help :-)

Today is all about lying down and hoping the SE's keep away a bit. I don't know though. I can feel that train coming. I think I am about to get hit.

Oh, and water tastes really bad right now. I'm trying to flavor it with crystal light, but it's still hard to get down. In fact, all food tastes bad right now. It's a challenge to eat. This could be interesting, trying to keep hydrated and nutrionally balanced.

  1. Hi Tracy! Gilly here..yeah who knew I was msjasmin too :) Been thinking about you alot and also keeping you in my prayers. Everyone in guild misses and loves you.

    Might try diet coolaid in the water or regular.. it has a stronger flavor then crystal light and might cover the funky taste of the water. Of course with everything tasting bad, it might not work, but here is hoping. You still able to drink Ensure or Boost? Its a bit pricey, but my nurse told me that Carnation Instant Breakfast has all the same vitamins and minerals in it, so might try that if you can keep it down.

    I will be sending a box in the next week or two.. just some silly stuff to hopefully make you smile.

    Love ya tons! Gilly (Anne)
