That when they say days 3-5, they really mean to not even start counting the "days" until you finish the chemo round, which most likely means actually parts of days 3-6.....
However, the pain was not as bad this time around. Partly because I had drugs to deal with it and partly because I knew what to expect! I have always found that the unexpected, especially in relation to pain, always makes it worse. Once you know what will happen and can formulate a plan on dealing with it(drugs, breathing, sleeping, etc.) then it is much more manageable:)
So this was not the worst weekend on that scale. We had a pretty normal, lazy Sat. and Sun., nothing too big, just hanging out with the family and trying to recover from the first full week of school. The girls cleaned up all the various messes they had created over the week and then put on a wonderful weekly update newscast for us. It was quite entertaining and wonderful fodder for when they are teens and we want to embarrass them:P..kidding.....mostly:D
Hope you all are enjoying the last days of August.
Blog ya later-
