I was up just after 5a (it's dark at that time now!) and felt a bit sketchy. As per the past 3 nights, I got about 4 hours solid sleep then tossed and turned for the rest of the night. I decided I was up to a swim, so I met Rach and Sue at the pool and put in 800m; swimming actually felt really good. Then I made the mistake of hanging around the pool for 4 hours for the kids' swim club. By the time I left I was aching from the waist down and ready to crawl out of my skin. Add in the hot flashes, thick tongue/sore throat and tingling lips and I was ready for party.
I spent the rest of the day between my bed, the couch and the back deck. I rested when I could, read a bit, talked with my mother and hung out with my family when they returned from mini-golf. Thankfully Panadol helps with the aches and pains. It's by my bedside in the event it becomes required tonight.
I told Nick earlier that I'm not going back for anymore treatment. He reminded me I say that every Saturday after chemo. With 2 rounds to go, I can only say that once more without it being true. Amen.
