Having a really bad day

My reaction chemo this time is swift and furious.  Had chemo Tuesday and today I’ve done nothing but sleep, sweat and throw up in that order.  Even the top of my head is sweating.  But I’m also bone cold.  Usually I either sweat or chill, not often I do both at once.  

Joe and mom have been wonderful.  By the time I woke up this morning, Joe had started laundry and emptied the dishwasher.  While I took my nap, mom finished the laundry and ran the vacuum throughout the house.  I’m so blessed to have such caring and helpful people in my life.

I really want to go to Bead and Button with Karen this weekend.  It would be an absolute blast.  I’m just not sure how I’ll feel.  Every chemo session produces different results.  I never know what to expect.  Gives new meaning to the term “living on the edge”.

Anyone remember the old canister vacuums with the exhaust hole in them.  We used to take the bag out, plug the hose into the exhaust and used it to blow leaves off the porch.  Vacuums don’t have that exhaust anymore.  I wonder why?  

I’m off for a warm blanket and a long nap.  Keep the faith everyone.
