Fatigue Sets In~

Today I had a bit of fatigue and nausea.  It took me an hour and a half to eat cottage cheese, yogurt and tapioca.  I have to eat a banana a day as well, so I blended it later with Ensure Butter Pecan.  It tasted great.  I slept a lot today off and on.  Later I was able to eat a cup full of chili that my husband made the other day.  It was good.  Good nap after.  I was able to eat a little more later to keep me from being hungry over night.

 

Time to sit back and watch The Big Bang Theory.

Lumpia and Artist Gallery~

Today was a good day too.  Was able to eat fine.  Started at noon to make some Lumpia.  Yum.  I made it with Shrimp this time instead of turkey meat.  It also had bean sprouts and alfalfa sprouts and peas.  I also did a couple of cream cheese wraps.  It was good.  I felt great doing it too.  I went through 4 packs of skins.  Hans was smoking meats for future dinners as well.  Have to do it when the weather is good.   Otherwise, the wind will blow out the fire.  It was raining, but the wind was fine.  Back porch grilling is great.

Later, I still felt good.  So I went to the Artist Gallery Meeting.  It was a great meeting.  I will have a piece in the Town Hall for a showing.  Can't wait!

Cancer Support Group~

All went well with eating.  No pains or much nausea.  On it with the Zantac. 

Went to a Cancer Support Group.  It was very helpful and informative.  Too bad Hans has to get his sleep during this time.  I think it would have helped him too being the caregiver.  But at least I am able say what I need to without him helping me out.  He is just very passionate about my care.  So lucky to have that support.

Chemo went well.  There were no hiccups.  All went well.  I came home and made stuffed Chilies.  They were pretty good.  Then after we ate, I took a much needed nap.  When I seen it was 7 o'clock, I thought it was morning.  But it was still PM.  It was a good good day.  We prepped with Zantac the night before and just before the Chemo took another one.  I took a nap while waiting for the chemo to be done.  I already had my I.V. in.  They were gentle with me.  The nurses are all great.  Basically my numbers are all good.  But my potassium is just a bit low.  I need to eat a banana a day to try and get it to normal.  Other than that it is all good.

Before going to sleep, I received a wonderfully thoughtful gift from Roxanne Adams, a classmate from Venice High.  Thank you so much.  I will love the sachet for sure.  Hans may be able to use it too for his headaches and stress.  He is stressing from everything going on.  Keep him in your prayers as well.  There was a little snowman bell with my name on it as well.  Thank you for thinking of me.

This one is for you Mom and Craig.

It was good!

We got up early to see if we can catch a movie.  FOOTLOOSE!  By the time we got to Greenwood, the movie had started already.  Next showing was at 4:15 pm.  So we went to eat  at Steak N Shake.  We had fun eating there.  We took some photos to share.  Then we went to walk around the mall a bit.  What a fun date.
