A better day

Today is a better day. I am still not 100%. I still feel, not quite right. My lymph nodes are still swollen. I have acne on my head that really hurts as the follicles hurt. I am still tired but not as tired has yesterday. I am still achy but not as bad, so overall things seem to be looking up. Ready for those fluids today. The nurse said they will help get me over this hump. My immune system is so good that it is fighting off the chemo, which is resulting in how I am feeling. I kinda wished it had fought off the cancer as fiercely as it is fighting the chemo. It apparently missed the memo that cancer is bad.

I went to bed early (7) with the baby.  Husband took tot and apparently fell asleep on the couch, as tot came walking in "Daddy sleep, me sleep mama" and curled in bed with me and the baby. LOL I had to laugh. Sweet pumpkin curled up tight and the 3 of us went off into dreamland until baby woke wanting to party around 3 am.  Baby was very restless last night, which aided in me only getting 5 hours of sleep even though i slept 7-7  good times!  I do not recommend chemo with small children at home, especially a newborn.

I cried a lot yesterday. I just felt horrible and everyone wants to help but there is nothing anyone can do to take away the symptoms. When I feel that bad I just want to be asleep and I can't sleep if someone is in the house unfortunately :(

I am very thankful I feel better today. I am thankful for everyone who has reached out to me to help.  Just the thought makes a huge difference! Makes me feel less alone and more like I am surrounded by a village. Every post I make on the facebook group, gets so many comments. I cry reading them. I can feel the love and hugs from afar. I am so thankful to everyone who has taken time to make me know I am loved!

Here is to a better day!

Love
Jamie
