I have had the unexpected blessing of two good days in a row after my first out-patient treatment. It has been amazing to just have the energy to make it through an entire day. After the really rough week following in-patient chemo I was expecting another difficult week, but this has been a pleasant surprise.
That being said, I am using this waiting time to enjoy these good days. I know that they won't all be as smooth as these have been, so I'm trying to treasure these and hold onto the feeling of them to help me get through next week's return to the 12-hour methotrexate drip.
Today I had the pleasure of taking my boys to their first day of school - Micah is in 2nd grade and Jon is in Kindergarten. I wasn't worn out just from walking them to the end of the block and back. I had the energy to make necessary phone calls, visit with a friend, and I even baked, what has now become a tradition in our family, first day of school cake.
I am thankful to my doctors and nurses for the new anti-nausea drugs and to my friends and family for the prayers and support that have made this good week possible. Now I'm going to enjoy some time of relaxing with my hubby while my kids sleep. That's what I'll do while I'm waiting on my good day.
