Day 3 after Chemo #3 (EC) - feeling good - but slowing down

2 minute read time.

So results from day #2 and the planned things

  • shower - well that got delayed until 1pmish.. just kept getting distracted 
  • veggies for dinner - already done by time I got out of bed around 10 (as I was busy writing blog!)
  • walk dog 7.30 pm!!
  • parcel wrapping- 8.30 pm but, I did it!

Day #3 after chemo

Its the last day of the steroid tablets today, thank goodnesses- these steroids seem to put me all over the place, mind and heart busy racing and body just not in sync Joy 

I woke up starving at 6am, managed to not get up until 7am, where by I completely devoured poached eggs on toast and a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes Yum

I then took my tablets (down to steroids and sickness pills now ) at which point I slowed right down - went back to bed for about 2 hours, I must have slept

so today’s list looks busy but is just one little trip

  • pop to see mum - show my face to stop her worrying (and to have a free cuppa and a sandwich ) - might even drag her to the village with me Slight smile
  • then to the village (about a 3 min walk so we not talking climbing a mountain here - keeping it real and reachable)
    • Post parcel to grand kids (that I packed last night)
    • pick up delivery of new “me treats” from newsagent 
    • pop in dog food shop get treat for my fur baby Alfie 
  • Chase up missing items in chlobo delivery- emailed customer service (not quite up to a phone call to chase! So being kind to myself )

Well, I am proud to say I have achieved all the above and it’s only 3.30 pm - I am officially now pooped BUT all tasks done so feel good Blush . Plus, my pattern after the last 2 cycles seem to be in the next day or so my energy levels will really drop.  So tomorrow I have to go to hospital for a heart check and that will be the only thing on my list - be kind to each other but more importantly be kind to yourself

hope you are all going well out there PrayHugging
