I had chemo yesterday. It was one of the more quieter days there. Seems like everyone was off for the day or busy or whatever, but I liked it. Gave me time to rest a bit and chat with my nurses. Wonderful women. Although one of them had a cold and was actively sniffing with a sneezr thrown in. That worries me, but it was an extra day she picked up for work so I imagine she felt compelled to come to work.But cancer treatment areas are no place for contagious disease...her manager should prohibit it. Eh, such is life. I just hope that between both of our due diligience that I won't catch her cold. I will be a mess as I get short of breath already.
The chemo meds and after chemo meds keep me non-nauseated and feeling a bit 'touched' in the head. I am okay with that. I drink my liquids and eat while I can, although having a good appetite has never been a problem for me! The only home remedy I participate in is green tea leaves with small chunks of fresh ginger (peeled). I use the ginger for anti-nausea (but it tastes good-like liquid ginger snap cookies) and the green tea for whatever medicinal properties it has in the anti-cancer compaign. And I don't care for it much by way of flavor...but I am getting used to it and for sure the ginger helps.
I think I am going to make socks, tube/boot kind of socks and donate them (Sock It To Cancer) to my care center. Then they can sell them for whatever they want and keep the preoceeds. Gives me something to do for a good cause.
Well, off I go. I am making a baby blanket for my niece. Not because she is pregnant but because I want to make sure she has one before I pop off! I think I will be getting her a hope chest for the holidays and I will fill it with some things I would have liked to have given her. I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon, but I want to know she is and always has been loved and here are a few things that might demonstrate that love. And a few momentos of me to her. Kind of sad but it makes me feel good to do this.
Let's blame it on the chemo, how 'mushy' it makes 'ya.
