Bone pain, bloated, bitchy, beyond annoyed... Today is day 10 of my 2nd round of chemo and I think I am beginning to turn the corner on this one. But...the bone pain continues to remind me that my body is under constant attack (I ache terribly all the way up my spine and into my head), the fatigue is letting up a bit, my stomach is bloated and very uncomfortable (yet to figure that one out) for days now, my patience level is in the negative numbers leaving me somewhat of an uneven temper - well just plain bitchy at times, and my legs sometimes feel like they are going to give out from under me for no apparent reason.
I am grateful that this time around I have not experienced the uncontrollable crying fits that I had last time. I've traded crying for complaining this time. But, like I said, I think I am turning the corner. I feel that I will get more relief from these symptoms each day and I have 11 more days to enjoy before the next treatment. I'd better get my attitude under control before my dear husband who calls me Sweetpea changes my name to Snapdragon!
I am not the most patient of persons and have found out that I am certainly not the most patient of patients. I have 11 days to try to do better and then, no telling what will happen. Thank goodness for a husband who is tough and will allow me to vent, knowing that while I aim everything at him because he is within ear shot, it's really not about him and he can and does take it well. Strong shoulders and a solid heart are priceless at times like these.
When I texted my daughter a couple of days ago that I was as grouchy as a wildabeast. She graciously offered to phone the next morning to make sure that Guy was still alive and well :)
It's Friday and I'm looking forward to a wonderful birthday weekend with Guy. Surprises are just around the corner and lots to smile about.
Happy weekend everyone <3
