Rocket Dog Molly

Well, I don’t really have anything to earthshaking to report this morning but was here and thought I would just say hey! Am still feeling pretty okay – just a little tired and maybe a little shaky. Have lost about 15 pounds so far – of course the fluid weight counts for some of that. Good Lord – I haven’t weighed in at this amount since my earlier 20’s. Take that middle age spread!! Rube got me a wedge pillow so that I could elevate my head and maybe actually sleep in a bed for the first time in weeks! Still not able to lay flat or on my side for any length of time. Pillow worked pretty good until about 4:30 this morning when my back decided it had had enough so it was back to the recliner with my bad self. Think I just need to reconfigure the other pillows on top and we may have a go! It’s weird – I have always been the night owl but I find myself going out before or at the same time as everyone else now. The difference is I have the 2 and 4 am night sweats/chills every night so sleep is more interrupted now but am feeling okay in spite of still getting up at 6:00 in the morning. I strongly suspect that there will be more daytime lousy TV naps coming soon to a theatre near you. I keep waiting with one eye open for a change or increase in effects from the chemo but so far, it has spared me. I only hope to get to the Winter Concert tonight – they are performing a Christmas “Stomp” – can’t miss watching my drummer girls play the buckets now can I? I am thinking round two may gang up on me a little more and possibly kick my butt but ya know, what can it hurt too bad – the girls will be home on break, we always spend most of Christmas in our pajamas – what the hey! And I just have to say I am really tired of this irritating computer kicking me out before I am finished with what I am saying. It’s like having a piece of technology telling you to shut up, you’re done now. Aaaargh. Anyway, ’nuff said. I guess I really am done now!

Love,
Lisa
