Nearly back to normal
Today is Tuesday, and I worked until 1:00 today! I'm hoping that by the end of the week, I can stay for the entire day. I am feeling better, by degrees, every day. My energy level is improving, and so is my appetite, which will improve my energy level, which will improve my appetite, and so on. And yes, I'm eating. Even had some chocolate today, which I haven't had in days. Can you believe it? ME? Not wanting chocolate? I must be sick. Ha.
My oncologist told me that this first treatment would be indicative of what the rest of the treatments would be like. So now I know that I'll feel like $%#@ for about a week, and then slowly get back to normal. I'll tell you this: I don't like feeling so tired and achy. I didn't get depressed over the cancer, I got ticked over not being my usual able-bodied self. Yeah, yeah, I know it's only temporary. I still don't like it.
And if ol' Skippy thinks he's gonna win even one battle, well, he's got another think coming, 'cause I don't think so. I have friends in high places. And low. I am grateful to have them all. Together we are invincible. Thanks for being here for me. ¶ 2:32 PM

Margaret - I missed seeing you today at work. I looked in and saw your jacket, so knew you were around somewhere! Went back to my office, blue bracelet in tow and started on the dreaded minutes of my committee. Maybe see you tomorrow.
Keep knowing how many prayers are with you. Sara Jane

Thanks for posting. I check every day (sometimes more) and though I don't aways comment back, I am always glad to see you have taken time to keep us "in the loop". I've heard from others that the first reaction seems to be indicative of the rest, so if that's so this sounds good!! See you next week.... Ann :)

Glad to hear you are eating chocolate again..that means you are definitely feeling better. Come down to the 2nd floor for a break anytime. Thanks for keeping us informed this way...Blue bracelets are everywhere - I've noticed...nancy

I am so relieved you mentioned your friends in low places. I was afraid you would leave me out. Thanks for the props.
Now, go take a nap.
