Long Night

I guess I am ready to get the sickness behind me, and I thought I was done with it before it was completely out of my system. I did not get any sleep last night because I was so nauseous. I spent the whole night trying not to move too much because I was sure I would vomit. I just waited for morning to come and when daylight finally arrived, David made me some cereal and half of an english muffin. That meal lasted about 10 minutes before it came back up. I went back to sleep, then got up to shower and I felt o.k. the rest of the day, but I was tired from missing the whole night's sleep.

I took a good nap in the afternoon, but I kept dreaming about lemonade for the longest time. When I woke up, I really wanted some good lemonade and I was about to call David to have him run by Sonic. Right then, my neighbor Mary Ann called to ask me if I'd like some of the Brazillian lemonade she just made!! She brought over the hugest glass of that, and I thought I'd never drink it all, but I did and it was delicious. What a well-timed surprise for me! It was delicious, made with sweetened condensed milk and limes that you blend and run through a cheesecloth. Maybe I should post a recipe!

I hope that now I can say that I am over the sickness. I really want to recuperate enough for another treatment on Thursday. I could get to my appointment and if my blood counts are not normal, they would just have to send me home. That would be a real bummer! My appointment on Thursday is for one hour of chemo, as opposed to the four hour chemo I had last week. I'm not sure what the difference will be, but I'll let you know when I find out.
