Taking lots of naps

Hi,
I just completed my 4th week of radiation. So only 2 1/2 weeks to go. I have been getting more fatigued with each treatment. I take a nap each day and am early to bed and get at least 10 hours of sleep each night of sleep. It is kind of like the suggestions we got when we became new moms. Sleep when the baby sleeps. Guess that is still good advice. Helps the body to regenerate.

Today started out with neusea and a headache. Don't know why the neusea is showing up this late in the game. I took anti-neausea med and some tylonol. I had a 9:30am appointment to check my blood clotting factor at the La Jolla coumidin clinic. Again we are adjusting the dose of the meds as my blood is thinner than they want it to be. On the way home we stoped at the Japanese market and picked up a few things and also some sushi for lunch.

Our housekeeper was at the house when we returned and so I went over to my friend Barbara's house and took a nap so I would not disturb Bertha or her disturb me. Barbara was in Julian so we did not disturb her either and she is such a good friend that she delights in helping me any way she can.

Hope you all have great plans to do some relaxing on this long weekend. We are missing yet another fun thing that the family has going this weekend. Our sister-in -law Terry has retired from the school district after 30 plus years and her daughters are throwing her a retirement party. Too bad we could not go to that monumentous party.

I will try to update my blog more faithfully for all my faithful friends who open the blog first thing each morning, and are disappointed not to have any news posted. So... Michael you can go and feed Calvin the cat now that you have read this update. I wouldn't want him to loose any weight while you wait for me to post. LOL

As always I am in God's awesome grip.

  1. So sorry to hear of the yucky side effects (nausea & headaches) but then perhaps it's just life catching up with you. Glad to see you're catching up on your sleep and allowing your body to heal while at rest. I pray you continue to stay strong; the goal is in sight!!Love.
