Chemo 10.5

Time to close up the chemo posts for this trip. I weaned myself of the anti-nausea drugs yesterday, and that went fine. I was feeling pretty good yesterday, but about 2 o'clock I felt like I should lie down. I ended up taking the nap to end all naps - one of those naps where you feel like somebody shot you with a tranquilizers and then pasted you to the mattress. I kept dreaming there were Polish working men right out the bedroom window, but I couldn't lift my head from the pillow to tell them to go away. Mathilde had to work late last night, so it was great to have my Mom here to get the kids dinner, because after that nap I felt like I was walking in soup for the rest of the evening.

Today, my mouth tastes like nickels. I still don't have all my energy back, but it is manageable. I went to the office today and Luke was there, which was cool. Unfortunately, we had to spend a bunch of time working through boring paper work (and we still aren't done). By the time I got home I was feeling pretty beat, so I took a nap. Mathilde, my Mom and the girls walked down and picked up dinner from Rod's place (thanks Rod!).

Oh yeah, I also get faint if I stand up to fast (so maybe it had nothing to do with all the blowing I was doing yesterday). And incidentally, somebody visited the blog after searching the term "blow booth" - I wonder what they were looking for?
