Now that I am awake and can think mostly straight again, I am back to post. For the first time since starting chemo I fell asleep upon our return home after an infusion. I went downhill from there, into sleep and brain fritz.
I did take the time, exhausting as it was, to get a medical marijuana card so I can purchase my own CBD oil. That was an ordeal considering how bone-tired I was during this odyssey to get me the CBD oil I needed that is controlling the nausea. Now if I could get it to control the aches that come on the day after infusion now and last for 4 days.
This time I did not resist the exhaustion or inability to focus and just rolled with it. I was not as frustrated, but I was still bored as I could not concentrate on anything long enough to distract myself when I was awake. I did manage to take in enough of the playoff games this weekend to understand who won, who lost and the just of the games.
We will try this again this week, see if I can stay on top of everything and keep posting while going through this.
To recap, exhaustion, aches and inability to focus. Today is a bit better, but still very tired.
Tomorrow is labs and a follow up with my Primary Care Physician, then Wednesday is my infusion day.
Chemo is kicking my rear this time.
Life is getting through the next seven weeks
