Energy!

Yesterday was my first reliably well day since the chemo last Thursday. (I know I posted that I was feeling better on Monday afternoon, but Tuesday am was another story.) I don't know if I'm better because it's just been enough days since the chemo, or if it has something todo with taking the anti nausea med at night, even though I'm not nauseous then. I started doing that Tuesday night (hoping it would help) because waking up nauseous just messes up the day.... can't get my energy up if I can't eat, and then what can I do?

Yesterday I went on a bikeride with the Babes. It was great but they got worried and sent me back early with an escort! I was fine though, and would have ridden harder and faster. Tomorrow I'm going to do the whole ride -- and it's going to be a pretty one! I hope the bike cooperates.... it complained a little about gear changes.

Now if I can stomach the chlorine smell I will go swimming. (smell never bothered my stomach before!) If I can't (or if Pinky guilt trips me) I will go for a long dog walk instead. Course I always get sleepy around when the pool opens.... in about 5 minutes! :-D

Nadine, I wish I could be there with you. You sound like you have a great approach to dealing with this (as usual). How has it been, trying to stay active? I'm guessing you have good days and bad days. Hang in there, chica, and carpe diem.

You asked about hair feedback the other day. I think if you've been curious about shorter hair, this is a great time to try it out. On the other hand, you're sure to experience it on the growing-it-back end of things, so don't think of it as a lost opportunity if you don't cut it now. But if you want to, do it! Sounds like it could be a fun and empowering thing to do.

Tu prima,
Melissa
