Feeling Good

Today was an unexpected surprise.  Thought I'd feel a bit yucky by this afternoon, but instead I've had a very normal day.
Started off with a hungry tummy.  Had to have a bowl of cheerios!  Then continued to eat throughout the day with cravings for chicken tenders, pasta, fresh watermelon and anything else that just sounded good.  No nausea yet.
Still no extra pain meds, just the patch which I switch out tonight.   No  clammy, sweaty symptoms all day today either.  YAY ! That is so annoying.   We think the decrease in pain meds has made a big difference.
Turned McChemy in about 1:00.  We got a long better this time around too.

My sisters, Jeanne and Darla, left  around 10:00 this morning.   They were my guardian angels, personal shoppers, chemo buddies, chef, and all around amazing care givers.  My meds are now all organized and ready each morning to check off.  Most will taper down after this week.
There are no words to express the amount of appreciation and love I have for these two amazing women.
Their time here also enabled Paul to work and  take care of himself by getting the rest he needed to continue this fight.   After all,it's a marathon not a sprint.  

Should be a tired  icky day tomorrow, but who knows.  Maybe another surprise.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SUPPORTING THE CARE CALENDAR!  Be sure to check it again as some dates have changed.
hugs all around,
Cindy
