This week of chemo has been different the the first series-- I completely crashed on day three of the first go-round; day three and four were good this time. I felt well, ate very well (even worked in another McFry day), and was up and around most of the time. So here we are in day five and I am as limp as a noodle, spent most of the day on the sofa. Still, so far this week, no nausea pills. That is a good thing.
I think a lot of the exhaustion I had been having the previous weeks was related to my blood glucose levels. When discovered, it was in the 300s (100 - 150 is considered normal). Since I have been checking four times a day and controlling it, I never go much above 200, with normal readings first thing in the morning. Another good thing. Just two days of SBs left before I get another week off. I have checks with both my Oncologist and GP a week from today. I feel well cared for.
Note to my Gentle Readers: I am getting a lot more sleep than the posting times in this blog would suggest-- that comes up from the software and is--like--Pacific or something.
