Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???

Ha ha.. I actually slept thru 3 Harry potter movies! I was out so fast on Tuesday I missed everything and forgot I had even missed it! I saw all movie 4 but maybe the skelegro kicked in and was a very nasty business. My flash fever hit, I took a Tylenol instead of advil and when I went to bed the pain went from minor positional inconvenience to EEYOWWW! It's back to normal now (just the usual pain) but that one was way more intense. Is this day 4or 5?

my biggest chore today was making a high protein smoothie, and looking for BIG girl pants I can get my bloated body into. Yes flori, even my thighs are pisssed off! But yes, I'm taking it very easy.

Johns holding up ok; he has the distractions of working and working out, neither of which I can really do at the moment He does fear hurting me, so it's almost air hugs.. I had to grab his arm and put it round me this afternoon.

Thanks for checking on me and holding me in you thoughts and prayers. Love you all
