Hello Hello,
I came home from the hospital Sunday afternoon. My blood counts basically quadrupled overnight so they docs were ok with letting me go home. I was pretty happy, everything really starts to get old in there after a while. Monday I was able to get ouf of the house and walk over to Walgreens with the parents to pick up some meds. Nice little walk and the weather was nice too. My heal has been hurting me from all the walking I did in the hospital. Where your in there the give you a pair of socks with little grips on the bottom so you don't slip. No cushion at all. So I came back and started biking a little each day. Tuesday I did an easy half hour, just to spin the legs a little. Felt really good, easy on the heal too. After that my mom and I got out of the house to do some shopping. We went to coscto and jewel and loaded up on food. I have to say tho, this past week my appetite has changed. I guess i'm starting to feel more nauseas and full after eat. Kind of like if I don't stop eating now my stomach will explode. So I'm really trying to limit how much I'm eating during each meal. Yesterday I biked for 10 min in the morning, then 30 min later in the afternoon. Again, I ate way to much and felt biking was the only way to help...It did until dinner came.
Even tho my views on food have dramastically changed over the past week, the food channel is really the only thing I watch...It kind of makes me feel like some sort of addict. lol Well today is the last day I have to take that drug. Then I'm off it for 4 months I think. So starting tomorrow my appetite and everything else should start going back to normal. Thank god! I have outpatient chemo tomorrow at 11 but that hasn't given me any trouble yet. Side effects are just sore muscles and hair loss. I haven't lost my hair yet tho haha. The doctors find that pretty funny.
Congrats on getting through the difficult meds. Once you accomplish that it becomes less of an obstacle...because you know that beast so to speak. Your ability to bike through treatment is fantastic. You may need to encourage Chris on that score. Good to hear that you're becoming the connoisseur of small meals!
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see you today, Sammy...You prepared the pierogies deliciously and now I don't know if I should get your autograph as a biking champion or the Next Food Network Chef. Maybe I should get both! I am addicted to your smile. Thanks for the bracelet!
