WOW! This want-to-be Super Woman was beaten by this radiation!! I thought for sure that chemo was so bad I would find the effects of radiation possibly laughable.... well that was not the case!!!
I had my third radiation treatment on Thursday afternoon (instead of the morning) since Mom and I took the girls to the Marriot to see Aladin. This was so fun since it allows us to see these girls in their theater mode... dressed up sitting still and loving the action on the stage! So when I had my treatment all felt fine but I thought I was tired from the whole day so I took it rather easy for the rest of the day.
Yesterday was my fourth treatment and I had it in the morning again as usual. It was quick and went fine- other than my wrist cramped up while I was having to stay in that lovely position so I had to wish it to end quickly which it did! After the treatment, I went off to school to check out my room again. I was feeling fine and was going to stop for a drink since I ran out the house rather quickly but then decided not to...my first mistake. At school I got a good idea of how the room will look and even moved a few things to see if they would fit in certain places. I also saw one of my new neighbors at school, Wendy and had a nice chat! I was so excited to be getting ready to be back at school. When I left I was upbeat and feeling fine. I ran a couple errands and then was home before 11am. The girls and Keith and his dad were off fishing in the boat for the first time this year. We all had a fantastic morning!
Once I was home I began to feel so tired and I felt that my head was so heavy. I decided to go recline on the couch at which time the room began to spin. I was not comfortable on the couch so I went up to bed. As I crawled into bed I really thought the world was spinning out of control. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I also drank a Gatorade as I wondered if I was dehydrated. By the early evening I was feeling better and we were able to go run a couple family errands.
I woke up this morning feeling much better and will be thrilled to be able to do all what I had hoped to do today. The events of the day are a trip to the Home Depot for the girls who love to do the Kids Build Projects on the first of each month. Daddy and daughters love to work together on these projects. We are also heading to Brookfield Zoo for the Share the Care event of the summer. Grandma and Papa adopt an animal at the zoo for each girl and they love to go and talk with the zoo keepers about their animal. This event is so much fun for the whole family and we are looking forward to having Grandma and Papa come and enjoy it with the girls.
The Moore family (my maiden name) is needing prayers as my dad's mom is in ICU after having chest pains during dialysis this week. She was admitted on Thursday for tests and monitoring but has had some major issues occur that are not good. We are all waiting on the sidelines as they try to figure out what is going wrong. She has been through so much as she was the one who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer just a few months ago and she is on daily dialysis. She is a beloved mother of 6, grandma of 17 and great grandma of 18. She is an amazing lady!!
To all my supporters, thank you!!! All the messages and thoughts and prayers have been the thing to keep me going! You are all amazing people and I am the luckiest woman in the world to have all of you on my team!
