Today is Friday and I normally LOVE Fridays. It means no work and a long weekend. I've started to loathe Wednesday - Friday. I was doing ok Wednesday after chemo. Not fantastic but really hanging in there and tolerating the side effects. I woke up yesterday, felt awful, blew off a couple meetings and logged into work around 10am. Not too bad all and all considered. I worked until 6pm so I got most of my hours in for the day.
I got my test results back from Wednesday and it turns out I have an E. Coli infection. Seriously?? I guess your body doesn't have all of its normal defense mechanisms when on chemo. Awesome.
So yesterday wasn't bad then **wam** we're making dinner and the smell of food cooking turned my stomach. It made it hurt so bad I couldn't concentrate on anything. I ended up taking some super pill to kill the nausea which then knocked me out. I woke up this morning with what felt like a hangover.
Anyway, next week hubby and I go San Fran for a mini vacation. I am leaving on Thursday night to fly out with him. I don't want to get chemo early because last time I did that I was sick for 3 days. If I wait until Wednesday there is a good chance I'll be sick on the plane. I don't want to skip a week since I think it's really working. Choices choices.
