I awoke this morning at 6 a.m. in NO PAIN, no cramps and I can't remember the last time I did that. I normally would have taken a breakout pain pill to get me over the lap between my 7 p.m. pill and my 7 a.m. pill. I saw no need for it, and I still am feeling great so I guess I was right.
Yesterday, I was quite busy. I took a shower at 11:15 and got ready to go to lunch with Bonnie and Lois. Bonnie picked me up at 12:15 and we met Lois at Panera and had a nice time eating and visiting. Lois had a Dr.'s appointment at 2:30 so we headed out at 2:15, and I needed to stop at Walgreens to get some cash, and Bonnie needed to pick up a few items as well, and by then it was 2:35 and didn't need to be in Maple Grove (Sheila's house for Qigong) till 3:30 so decided to go to Kohls and shop till 3:10. I managed to find an outfit to wear at my 50th class reunion on Saturday, on a clearance rack. So I was excited about that. We then headed for Sheila's and got there right on time.
Qigong went well, and I'm guessing that is why I woke up in no pain and am feeling so great today. It's amazing what she is able to do. She feels and senses where I need help and clears out the blockages so well. Bonnie also sat and meditated while she worked on me. I hope it helped her too!
I got home about 5:30 and don't know if I took my 4:00 p.m. pills then and again later, but between Sunday and yesterday I took my 4 p.m. pills twice, cause the Wednesday pills are missing. I was awake and alert till midnight, and when I went to bed then, I didn't really sleep till after 1 p.m. when I got up and went to the bathroom. So I'm thinking it was yesterday that I doubled up, and one of those was a steroid pill, that is an upper for me, that's why I take it at 4 p.m. so it doesn't keep me awake. I only take it twice a day for days 2, 3 and 4 of my chemo cycle, and then one on the 5th day, and 1/2 on the 6th. and set them up in the pill boxes that way. Oh well, I guess I'll live. I did sleep really good from 1 to 6 a.m. this morning, and not in any pain so all is well.
The other good thing about the day was that I never took a break-out pill all day...was getting wiry by the time I got to Shiela's but she fixed that too.
Today, I get unplugged at 12:15 and my granddaughter Nicole is picking me up and taking me there and also going to take me to Jan Ranum's to have my hair done. I need to look beautiful for my class reunion. Nicole also came yesterday and moved my lawn, so I really appreciate the fact that she can drive and is taking the time to help me. Jan will give me a ride home, as Nicole and Allie need to go to cross-country this afternoon.
I did get a volunteer to take me to my next chemo on September 4, and Rita Culshaw was the first to respond. She is also going to go the the class reunion with me and my sister-in-law Carol on Saturday.
No plans for the evening, but I will probably need to rest after the two busy days, and no steroid to keep to hyped up.
Thank you all for the prayers and blessings you are sending my way. I know they are working. Hope the chemo is too! Love and Prayers, m
