Got it!

I was able to receive my chemo today! As usual, I received two pre-meds that are dripped via IV through my port. One is an anti-nausea drug that makes me drowsy and the other is a steriod that gets me buzzed up. As some of you know (and I may have mentioned in this blog) I am not a fan of the steriod, but I am learning to take the good with the bad. I now know the pattern...tonight, tomorrow and Friday I will be buzzed up with a great appetite and energy; Saturday and Sunday I will slow down; Monday I will feel really cruddy; Tuesday everything will frustrate me; Wednesday I will cry about something bizarre; Thursday I will be back to normal! It's the steriod that gets me. I don't think the actual chemo drug does anything but make me sleepy.

Overall this was a pretty uneventful chemo. It was a snowy ride home. Although it was difficult to see sometimes, it didn't stick to the roads and we enjoyed the beautiful winter scenery! Although it was dark when we got home, we could see that the trees in the yard were beautifully decorated with snow. School dismissed early this afternoon so Trent was happy with some extra time with Memaw and Pepaw.

I am feeling really good and the kids and I have been making Valentines and doing class projects. And, during my steriod sponsored energy splurge, I think we will make some cookies for the wrestling match then work on 'My True Love Cake' that I make once a year on Valentine's Day for them. Our councelor came to the house the other day and they got a chance to visit with him. I feel like we are doing well. Life is good!
