The doctor said the effects of the weekly Taxol would be cumulative. I am here to say this is so true. I have had more fatigue the last few days. I mean like "Sleeping Beauty" sleep. (Of course I wish it would help the beauty part!) It began on Thursday and has just stayed with me. I cannot let my body go horizontal because I will be out. Anyone who knows me knows sleep is not part of my life. I am good if I get 6 hours of sleep a night. Let me tell you I am making up for lost time. I figure if this continues I have only 3 more weeks of it! Otherwise things are good. I still have several side effects but I am getting use to them.
After sleeping most of the day on Thursday I told Rick I could sleep anywhere. It has really bothered me that I have not been able to see Chris and Karmen's new restaurant. So mid morning on Friday we loaded up the pillows and blankets and went to Washington. I was so excited to see The Blue Duck and my family. Of course they were super busy but I got to eat with Ceci and listen to her stories. We then took Ceci home for Karmen and got Annie off of the bus. They had a babysitter for the evening but I got to see them for awhile and get my granddaughter fix. What a great day! I slept like a champ Friday night and most of Saturday morning. Then we were off to watch Ethan and Emerson while Karlene and Adam had a dinner engagement Saturday evening. As Papa put Ethan to bed Mimi settled into the couch and began her catnapping for the evening! Nothing helps my spirit more than my family and friends.
If you are in KC I hope you are able to enjoy this beautiful day God has given us. I am so thankful for all of you and your continued support of me on this journey. I am on the "short end" of this. I thank God everyday for His guidance.
Psalm 136:26 Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.
