It has been rough

Not too many witty words today. It has been a rough week. I guess I am a wimp!!! Almost 48 hours after the chemo, it was like I dove off a cliff! Maybe it had something to do with me getting an infection at the same time, but wow, I so admire all the people now and before me that have had to go through this!! My energy sank and I laid around all last weekend hoping I would be on the upswing soon. I ended up having to leave work Monday and Tuesday, but thought I was on truly on the upswing Wednesday. I got an offer and a signed contract on my house on that day and then the FEVER set in. It knocked me to my knees. I won't get into the details, but the j-pouch that was created to replace my colon had a serious infection. I called Thursday and they put me on an antibiotic. My fever spiked up to 102.4 on Friday and all I could do was lay under the covers and sleep. I am not a good sick person....really! I am a cry baby. Just ask my sweet, wonderful boss and my awesome husband!!! I have a wonderful friend who invited Riley over to play with her daughter this Saturday too, so I had the day yesterday to recover as well. The antibiotic finally kicked in some and my fever broke Saturday, but I still feel week. I am a WIMP!! I admit it. I did wake up this morning feeling very inspired to get up and do things. I think I need to see the sunshine too!

There is no hair falling out yet. The nurse told me it was a slim possibility my hair may not fall out at all and it may just thin out. Crossing my fingers, but like I said, I won't die!

I hope this finds you well....and remember there was a blessing in all of this!!! May the peace of Christ be with you and may you find your blessings among your battles!!!
