progress report (2)

Wow, this is way worse than the first time.

I’ve just been feeling so sick and weak. Have been mostly lying on the sofa bed since I woke up Thursday morning, pathetically moaning and groaning and feeling sorry for myself. I seem to remember getting up more last time, being able to do more, not feeling quite so awful. Anyhow, this will explain why I’ve dropped off the radar these past few days.

Even with the ondansetran for the first three days (and now primperan) the nausea has been almost unbearable. That really is the worst part for me. I hate to think about having to go through this six more times, including having major surgery done in the middle of it all.

On a more positive note, Nog got home late last night – a day earlier than expected. It’s good having company at home again. And today he’s going to check under the bed to confirm that last week’s incident was a random one-off and that there’s nothing nesting there. Cat allegiance showed itself again last night when Nog went to sleep on the Alpha Cat’s big comfy bed and the boys loyally stayed with me in the living room. 🙂

Well, as I’ve now managed to stay upright for almost an hour this morning, I think I’ll take a stab at answering a few emails. They were very nice to receive, as were the phone calls. Thanks guys!

I think I’m getting better at this; started off with ‘doing my best’.

Yesterday was my second chemo session (it was supposed to be on Monday but it was rescheduled for Tuesday) and it went much better than the first one. Well, it helped that I knew more about what to expect so I could do some chemo planning beforehand, though I didn’t get everything right . . .

I’m not at all a butterflies & flowers sort of optimist, nor am I a down-in-the-mouth pessimist. I’m pretty much a realist/optimist and I like being practical about things. And I always find honesty to be the best policy.

My first chemo session three weeks ago was very scary for me because I was still trying to get my head around the 50/50 prognosis and also Nog had just left town for a month. Plus, I had no idea what to expect or how I was going to react to the treatment. This time I feel better prepared . . .

Or more like “Operation: Info”

Honestly, I’m always the last to know. I really thought yesterday’s appointment was to get the pre-op tests done for my upcoming liver surgery. Turns out it wasn’t that at all. Nor was I the only confused person…
