Tomorrow..

Is my last taxol, thank goodness. This is really starting to get to me. I am so sick of not feeling good. I really didn't listen about the cumulative effects of chemo. I don't know why, I guess I thought it wouldn't happen to me. But boy oh boy! It is absolutely ridiculous how quickly I tire out! No strength and no energy. Now, I know I was not in good shape before all of this started. But I could still pretty much do anything I wanted or needed. Not now. The smallest thing and I am ready to go to bed. Of course when bed time rolls around, I can't sleep. The damn hot flashes are driving me nuts too! The back of my head seats! And at night it is hotcoldhotcold. Of course I'm not telling some of you anything new.

There were times this past week that my wrists hurt so bad, my hands went numb. I had to go buy a 50 lb weight to weigh down the pool steps, and could barely pick it up. That isn't normal. "Helping" John (and I put helping in quotes, b/c I wasn't much help!) put the ladder in the pool, I was ready to call it a day.

The god awful taste is still in my mouth. Nothing tastes like it should. I have to remember when I'm eating something new, that isn't what it really tastes like.
The picnic was nice--again, wore me out though. Tuesday I was back at the drs for the Herceptin. Wednesday I went to Joliet to run errands, but only made it to get the weight, I started feeling very sick to my stomach. Haley woke up sick that night and missed school on Thursday. Their fourth grade recognition ceremony was at 7:30 that morning. An almost impossible time to get them to school,plus at the time, I couldn't stay out of the bathroom for 10 minutes. But I went with Jenna, sitting in the back in case I needed to duck out real quick. She got the National award for fitness and a certificate for being on the honor roll all 4 quarters. Haley got the honor roll, Presidential award for fitness and 100 points for AR (their reading program).

I should be off to bed. Hopefully I can sleep.--Oh, and my friend you voted for in the implant contest--she won!!! So thank you!!
