I still have very little energy today, but at least it's some.  A little is more than nothing.  It's only 2 days before my next chemo and I hope my body can get ready.  I'm anemic and it's hard to find the energy to do anything.  Just walking from one room to the next is tiring and sends my pulse over 100.  I can feel my heart racing, working extra hard to bring oxygen to my body.  When this happened the first time doing chemo, I thought I was having a heart attack, but now I know it's just a sign of anemia. 

I've been stuffing myself with iron rich foods to boost my red blood cell production.  If you had told me 3 years ago when I put myself and my husband on a strict low salt, low fat, low sugar healthy diet to lower his cholesterol and increase my bone density that there would come a day when I would get tired of eating cheeseburgers, I would have called you crazy.  No way.  But it's true.  I've eaten so many cheeseburgers, spinach salads, and liver that I'm sick of it.  My red blood count should be through the roof for a normal person, but I'll see if I can at least stop mine from going down any more.   I don't want to have a transfusion or take Procrit!  It's more than enough just doing the chemo drugs I'm on.
