2/3

Yes, I’m 2/3 done! I’m at my weakest moment now during the treatment phases. I feel like Superman in front of kryptonite with my anemic self. Yet yesterday I went to the office for more than 1/2 a day. I lasted as long as I could. Tuesday the Eudencaya shot was different. I followed the same protocol as my last two treatments (5 days of Claritin and one of naproxen) and oddly I had some body aches. It felt like someone had given me a really strong massage; my neck muscles ached. Again trying to get on the road to normalcy I got fully dressed and went to work the next day (play sound effect for air escaping from balloon)....did not make it through the day. My heart rate elevated and that feeling added to the muscles just takes me out. So home I went. Now let’s put this into perspective. Even though I went home and I stayed home today I’m not playing sick. I did five (count em five) conference calls, one over two hours long and responded to emails while being on the calls. I’d hardly say that that’s insufficient even though I did all that in bed in my pjs! But I have to push on and push through. I‘m also trying to convince myself that it’s sufficient. That is the hardest challenge (Convincing myself)...so in my search for normalcy (see other posts) I purchased another wig this week. I’m getting quite a collection! Hubbys not a fan but to me it’s more “glamorous” since it has a curl and the others are more straight. I want to feel that. We’ll see. On Monday/Tuesday I need to testify in a court case so my little curl wig and my ass are going to haul themselves to the end of this island I’m on. I am a little concerned. Not about the questions I’m going to be asked but about the environment. I imagine it being hostile since I’m an “expert”. Certainly not like tv but there is a lot they want me to put in evidence. I’m sure the defendants want me to be proven wrong and I’m supposed to convince a jury about the highlights of my industry. I’m sure it will go well. In the meantime my next treatment is March 12. Miss you mom.
