Tough Weekend

This was a very tough weekend for my body which hindered my spirit!

I have been struggling with a great deal of pain and even a terrible amount of nausea.  I feel as if I had all the side-effects of my chemos hit me in one day.  Friday I began to have the chills, a delirious amount of pain and terrible nausea.  I cannot recall more than one day that was like this throughout chemo so I was so surprised when it came on so strong!  My energy level is so low and I am becoming so frustrated because I have so many things that have to get done!

I did accomplish the one goal I had before surgery-- The Girls Dance Recital!  We had rehearsal yesterday which I was able to be at with them.  Today they had the recital in the Genesee Theater in Waukeegan.  They were beautiful and did sooooo well!!  Afterwards we had a fantastic time with all the grandparents and Uncle Brad at Firkin celebrating the girls and all we have to be thankful for!!!  It was a nice way to end this personally horrible weekend. 

I can be proud of myself for going on with the activities of the weekend even though I was being challenged by my pain and uncomfortable physical feelings.  I know that each day is a gift and I will enjoy all that I can do in that time.  I do realize that I cannot do it all and it is OK to stay home when necessary.

As I type right now I am thoroughly exhausted but so happy and one of the proudest mom's in the world!  Life is so good!
