The weekend progresses

Things did not conintue as smoothly as on Thursday and Friday. I'm not sure how to describe how I felt on Friday except to say a little puny, a little fragile. I felt queasy, but no actual throwing up. But I had to keep my mind focused away from that feeling! I also started getting a headache, which could be from a myriad of things. But nonetheless, it didn't feel so good. My sister, angel that she is, purchased 3 massages for me from West Orange Massage, so I was able to get to that appt. and it was wonderful!

Today, my headache was killing me! The queasiness has gone - thank goodness - but the headache is there. Again, it could be sinus, it could be a cycle thing, it could be from my family (ha ha), or it could be from chemo drugs - who's to say? But I did get weepy just trying to figure what mediactions I could take. I know it seems silly, but 3 months, all I had to do was read a med. bottle, or for that matter I mostly knew, if I wanted to take a sinus medication or a tums! Now takes an Act of Congress just to figure out IF I can take a certain medication. Who knew taking something so simple as a friggin' tylenol could be so complicated or would make me cry??

In the end, I was able to take the sinus meds and it has helped some. A member of my Posse, Kyle, came over and rubbed my back, head, and face for a long, long while. Jen, Kyle, and I had a nice visit, and the distraction was definitely good for my headache! I've been able to eat today, much more than yesterday, so that's good, too. I've not had my 3 liters to drink yet today, but I should be able to get it all in.
