I'm doing better now, but this morning was a little rough.  Overall, this last week was a pretty good week for me.  I have now officially completed all of my first round of chemo which included extra chemo on the 18th.   It was such a pleasant surprise when I realized Friday and Saturday that there times that I'd forgotten that I was sick!  What a BIG blessing!  That didn't happen at all the last time I was doing chemo.  Last time, I just felt tired and yucky ALL THE TIME!

So I managed to get out just a little this last week and even had a normal weekend pretty much including getting a chance to go to church and Sunday School.  But by Sunday afternoon, I was exhausted and slept all afternoon, and today like I said, I wasn't doing too well for a few hours this morning---diarrhea, upset stomach, runny nose, sneezing, headache, and tired.  I guess I might have pushed myself too much enjoying some of the days I felt good.  It's just so different this time that I don't know what to do with myself when I feel okay.  Since I'm not fatigued to the point of only being confined to bed, it's hard to just sit around and do nothing but rest!  I figure if I feel okay, I can do anything, but then later I find out it was too much.  Well, live and learn.  I have 5 more treatments to figure out how much I can handle. I should be safe if I do more "sitting" activities like emailing and blogging.
