The side effects started 1/2 way through chemo! Usually they wait til 1 hour past.
Tingling, numbness, muscle cramps, facial spasms and coordination problems are all giving me fits.
Drinking is hard b/c everything has to be room temp or warm - and I am not a big tea drinker
Any suggestions?
Was asked if memorized scripture helped me to get through --
I often quote scripture to myself -
it conquers fear
it distracts
it comforts
it gives me courage
it reminds me that I am not in charge
This is starting out like another sleeping binge -
I slept at chemo, I slept when I got home- I slept some more....
Thankful for milder temps
my sweet husband who takes care of me
dinners delivered
prayers raised, not just for me but for so many concerns
for a ride to bible study and home
sunshine
seabands against nausea
medicine
birds
Chance still being sassy
beer brewing in the basement :)
Puffs with lotion
scripture
friends who love us
fun memories
I am off to sleep..... thank you so much for your love, prayers and concern.
You are carrying us, providing for us when we need it -- another star in your crown in heaven
Psalm 121:4 He who watches over me will neither slumber nor sleep....
...I will sleep and I will wake in peace and health for Jesus sake...
Bless you, Christine. xo
