Tuesday: Injection and Fatigue

Fatigue has set in - I was in bed by 8:30 p.m., last night, and slept till this morning, waking up once or twice to drink something. 

This morning, my friend's daughter came to drive me to the clinic for my immune booster injection.  Afterwards, I spent the major portion of the day sleeping!

I had a high protein drink in the morning for breakfast and managed to eat a piece of salmon for lunch.  I am thirsty, but not hungry.  So, not sure what I'll be able to eat for dinner - my neighbor brought me some soup, maybe I'll have some of that, or maybe a piece of fruit.  Or another protein drink.

In the morning, my regular doctor called and we spoke for a bit.  The oncologist keeps her updated about my treatment. 

I also sent in today's portion of office work.  Once again, I'm grateful I was able to get enough done over the weekend, when I felt well, to cover for these past two days when I haven't felt up to par.

Today, I am grateful for:

- My friend's daughter giving me a ride to the clinic and back this morning.
- My neighbor bringing me some soup.
- Getting enough office work done over the weekend to cover for a couple of days.
- Being able to rest when I feel fatigued.
- The nice, warm weather.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day for me.

How was your day, today?

    1. Thank you, Dawn. I spent most of the day, sleeping, yesterday. But managed to get some office work done and sent, too. Need to keep the job going no matter what.

  4. You have done well to get some nutrition into you. Praying that you will soon feel a lot stronger and get a healthy appetite!

    I had a surprise after supper. Our granddaughter (9), e-mailed to see if I would like to Skype with her, so I soon logged on to Skype and had a lovely chat with our son and daughter-in-law as well, but mostly it was granddaughter who was sharing with me all kinds of things, showing me books she has, telling me about school and about a birthday party she had been to, even opening the front door and showing me the rain that is falling on the snow! She used to be shy on Skype, but she really went to town this time and it was so much fun!

    1. Bushlady, that was so nice of granddaughter to want to Skype with you and share so much of herself. I know you enjoyed it! Maybe now that she's got over being shy, you can expect a lot more such visits with her on video chat.
