Well, I started off feeling somewhat okay, but not that big a difference. However, I ended up starting a very slight fever towards the end of the day. I did nothing but lay around all day. I didn't really eat anything either. I remember when John and Tony were sick and wouldn't eat, I always couldn't understand why they just didn't stick something in their mouth, chew and swallow ..just to get something down. Now, I understand fully. The condition of the digestive track is so screwed up from the chemo, it almost closes off. So, even swallowing a drink is painful. You would think that I am getting very skinny. No such luck. I am losing weight, but not that much.
John mostly ran errands and slept himself. I am glad that he is sleeping. Normally, he never stops, but I think that he has been under such stress that sleeping is a good release for him.
My fever is gone now. I have to call the doctor and go in if it gets over 101 degrees. Last night it was 100.8. I don't know what caused that, but think probably my esophagus as it has been in so much pain. I feel like a hypochondriac, but they are very serious about me being careful as I have no white blood cells. I think I would be less neurotic if I didn't have this surgery coming up. I just need to be well before it happens.
So, today will be another of the same day, but hopefully a better one. Each day to heal and get stronger is a good thing. I am doing fine, but laying in bed all day is not my cup of tea. I can't work on school stuff as our remote access is not working. So, I can't even do that. I found a grant online, so am working on writing that. It is due in 2 weeks, but I am not feeling pressured as it is something I just chose to do. Have a restful Sunday. Love me.
