Sleep and the Garage Door

I took a couple OTC sleep pills last night and it really helped. Although I woke at 4am, I was still able to get about 7 hours and I feel really good. Every morning, I expect to get up feeling shitty and it has not happened. It's more like I went out and drank and now have a mild hangover which is pretty manageable.

I really understand the fatigue that comes with the treatment and how, after consecutive days, I am getting tired of this. It's a little physical and a little emotional as you just sit there with all this stuff cycling through you. I am looking forward to having a couple weeks off even though I will need to come in for 3 appointments.

Elaine, Thank you for the links as I will look into them and I appreciate hearing from you.

Here is a photo of the garage door. What a hassle....






I will post again later.

Sam,

It was really remarkable being with you at the cancer center. It's all hard stuff and everything is right in your face.

I only hope that the rest of your therapy goes along a well as it has up to this point.

I forwarded a few e-mails to you from my friends and family. They too think you are as wonderful as I do. The two lbs you lost is definately from your haircut. And, did I tell you how much I like it.

One more day then a little rest from your therapy. Try not to overdue it. No hockey playing this week end.

Love,

Mom
