This will hopefully be one of the last chemo entries for round 6. From this point on I am usually on the upswing, feeling more normal with each day.
I was awake most of the day yesterday. Took a short nap around 5:30 and woke about a half hour later to the sound of the girls bouncing and laughing on the trampoline.
I crashed at 9:30 pm, then woke up at 3 in the morning after a weird dream with a building that swayed in the wind as if it were were made of rubber while I napped on a patio beneath them. The dream ended with me hiking deep in the woods and realizing I had forgotten to bring water. I had to take a leak but couldn't because my suspenders were on too tight. And then a little girl on a bicycle wizzed down the trail singing a song.
Wow! Now that I've written it down, it sounds like a pretty weird dream (good thing I left out the part about Rod and the 3 naked bimbos packing suitcases in his apartment). I've been having weird dreams lately though, and remembering them - which I usually don't do.
Anyway, I had a hard time falling asleep again. I contemplated taking one of the happy pills they gave me, but since some unknown author on Wikipedia wrote they are pretty addictive, I decided I'd better not treat them like they're Pez.
I did fall back to sleep again, and when I woke up around 9:00 in the morning Mathilde was bringing coffee and breakfast up the stairs. Emily and Anna piled into our bed and we all snuggled under the comforters while Mathilde read Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire to the girls. (I keep trying to convince the girls that THIS is the chapter where Harry dies, but it's getting so they hardly even roll their eyes anymore).
No night sweats last night.

HI,
Thanks for the update. I really enjoy thinking of you all cozy in bed reading Harry Potter. Your dreams sounded scary/fun(Rod?)
Any ore tingling and numbness? xoxoxoxo
yeah your dreams sound pretty cool. Mine never are as cool when I retell them. (typed and sent from my iPhone btw)
