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!!!
Just thinking about you! Keep the strong spirit you have!
