Feeling Better! Less sicker?

Feeling better today.

My nose is still running like that chick from Georgia who ran from her wedding though. But we don't have any good excuses. Lack of nose hairs? Not worth it.

My throat is scratchy. Feel a little "feverish." But energy level is better. Not taking a nap though. Why?

Well, fell asleep at 9 last night. Woke up at 10:30ish. Was awake until 2:30ish. Took a sleeping pill and slept til 6ish. Yeah. Lots of sleep. I'm taking a sleeping pill at 9 tonight. Maybe I can get 6 hours of sleep. When I'm on these steroids though - I don't gain muscles or weight. Or sleep.

Probably go back to work on Tuesday.

Looking forward to it.......

Sick, sick, sick

This has definitely been different from the first time.

Had a cold going into the hospital or caught one while I was there.

Started on Thursday while I was there and has been beating my butt since then.

I am NOT one to let myself get down but this has kicked me hard.

I have been out of work for the last week. I can't do stuff around the house- tire way too easy. Seems to be a combo of the chemo and this cold.

Felt better after a blood transfusion of RBC on Thursday, but went downhill Saturday. Feel a little better tonight, but I finally took some cold medicine.

Finally?

Yeah, I haven't been able to take it for years due to the kidney thing. It's hard to convince yourself to take it after my blood pressure blowout in 2001.

My nose is draining. My ears are ringing. I'm exhausted.

But there are people worse off then me.......
