Week 5 over and with hair - but where's the fun?
Yes, I still have hair. Some fatigue today and definitely achy puffy feet, with some puffiness in my hands. Six weeks in to treatment, week 5 of chemo drugs. Definitely not fun but tolerable.
As I think every day I sit in the chair, are we having fun yet??? Do I ever get to have fun again, to truly laugh again? I am so good at living one day at a time and I know I will get through this. I see others so much sicker than me when I am at the hospital. Maybe when I get to the end of the treatment, I will look exhausted and depleted like them. I don't know. I just try to get up every morning and get dressed, (not in sweat pants) put on some makeup and a scarf (as that is my signature), and make the best of the day.
But I am too tired to go to New York or travel to anywhere, and not enough time between treatments, getting my son ready for his senior year of high school. I always feel it is an accomplishment when I make it through another winter, into the spring. This year I can't wait for December, and knowing that in the spring I will feel better, get my health back and move on to some fun and a return to life.
