Friday after chemo

So far things are going much better than before.  I am not at all nauseous, can carry on a conversation, laugh some, and eat a little.  Mostly I am really sleepy, and tired.  Not a bad "day after"!    I am really psyched and hoping that this is going to be a trend.   

My friend Bunny drove me to get my shot of Neulasta this morning. Neulasta helps to increase my white blood cell count and therefore prevent the risk of infections. (chemo kills white and red blood cells and plasma cells along with cancer cells, hair cells, and other fast growing cells in the body) 

Afterwards, I napped and had a little homemade chicken soup from my friend Lynn.  I guess I could eat it because I didn't cook it (that last batch I made was a disaster.) Rachel stopped by and had a quick visit on her way to work.  She told us about her hike in Payson yesterday. They had a great time rappelling, hiking, wading through snow melt streams.    I don't think she has slept since a couple of days ago.  

I thought I might sit down and read a bit after this post, but now I am ready to snooze again.  zzzz.  Maybe I'll read later.

Thanks again for the prayer and good wishes.  :-)  Carmine
