Week 10

Well, I'm a little behind in my blogging. Actually, I haven't had much to say. Since I stopped working, my life has been sleeping and watching TV. Not very exciting. A few bad days here and there, with nausea (but no vomiting). Mostly, just fatigue and very low energy. Also, I have been isolating a bit, not wanting to talk much just generally not wanting to be the person with cancer, going through chemo. I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about.

I've been getting acupuncture on a weekly basis, which has helped a little with the fatigue, but mostly with the accompanying "fogginess." Weekly massage therapy is really helping with all of the aches and pains from all of the sleeping.

I'm almost done with the AC, only 2 more treatments to go. That also means I go back to work soon. As I recall, I had 2 goals, well 3 really while I was off work: clean out the garage, unpack the 2nd bedroom and catch up on some work that I owe my boss so that I go back to work without owing any hours. So far I've done is the garage. I've done a little bit of work, but I don't know that I will get it all made up before September 15 (return to work day) and I haven't touched the 2nd bedroom, but it's on my list for today.

What really prompted me to work on the garage was that I got a dog this past week. I found her at the humane society and she is very sweet. Her name is Zusa and she's an 8 year old golden retriever mix.



That's it for now. I hope you all are hanging in there.
