The Sun went down and so did I!
They had warned me that after the steroids they gave me earlier in the week that I would crash after they wore off, and it didn't happen Wed. or Thursday, so I didn't think it would....well last nite, and I crashed and burned....I could not peel myself off the couch, was so weak I could barely get to the bedroom and bed and still feel weak this a.m....although am a little better, I'm not falling asleep!!! and I am sitting upright! Have had some breakfast and looking for more food, as I am down again another couple of pounds.....how thin can I get??? I've never had to worry about this in my life....getting fat was always the problem!! Getting myself to gain weight is a completely foreign idea!!! I've always dreamed of being thin....but I guess not this way! Be careful what you wish for huh? Love and prayers, m

m, Good days are great, but the bad ones stink. Sounds like you are going through a double wammy with coming off steroids plus the effects of the chemo working. Maybe comfort foods will help like mashed potatoes with gravy made with good oils like coconut or olive, bananas, melons, and if all else fails, chocolate malts. Fruit smoothies are also good and soy milk is not acidic llke dairy is. I hope the sun comes out for you while you recooperate from the awful effects of chemo. May you be able to take the time to just rest and let it all happen. I know that is hard for a Schieber, it's a challenge. My t&p's are with you today, love, Jeanie

ReplyDeleteI so wish I could help you. Those steroids are terrible to come off. Frank gets to be a real bear. Mood swings golore. I have no idea what he is on now.
Oh if you need some extra fat I have plenty to share and would if you could figure how to give it to you. I have enough for you, me and Frank too.
Hang in there and I hope the sun will come up tomorrow for you. Judy
