Yesterday was tough. I was weak even taking the trash cans to the curb and they have wheels!! I hate feeling like that! But I slept very well last night and I'm wide awake and ready to go today!
One of the side effects of chemo is that it can make food taste different, and for the last two days coffee tasted like sawdust. As I love my morning cup of joe, that was sad for me. But today it tastes amazing. Just like it's supposed to. Seriously, if I have 2 days of feeling punky every two weeks, I'm perfectly fine with that. I'll rest and let the chemo ninjas do their job on Lenny, and then when I'm feeling full of piss and vinegar, like I do right now, I'll get back to working out and eating well to keep my body in prime condition to help the chemo ninjas.
This is definitely a journey, and I'm interested in seeing out the patterns develop.
The odd thing is that there are definite perks to having cancer. One is that you realize how loved you are. I think we tend to go through life with blinders on, not paying attention to those around us, really. When you go through this, you realize that so many people have your back in varied and incredibly wonderful ways. I love that.
There is a phrase on the breast cancer forums - "I'll be in your pocket" - meaning that whenever you're going through something scary, bad, sad, or just something that makes you nervous, I'll be thinking of you and will be "in your pocket" close to your heart, lending you my support. I have a lot of pocket pals. And if you ever need me to return that favor, I'm there.
LOVE to you all!
