Sunday Dec 18
Well I am back from the chemo vacation from life - feeling much better the last couple of days and so finally feel like writing and chatting with you all.
Lazy day today though - didn't even get dressed. Recovering from the Company Christmas party - a good time was had by all. It was wonderful to see everyone having a good time. It was lovely to chat to everyone and just felt good to be out and about being my normal self. It was a good party - the food was good and the company was good and just a lovely feel all around. Got home just after midnight and Cinderella, after the ball, was able to change back into Cancer Vixen when she put her wig and sparkly clothing away for the night!!! Thanks Messier-Dowty for bringing the Christmas spirit back!
Maureen stayed over and we enjoyed the morning just chatting about the party and finishing off our knitting projects - just girls chillin' out. Lunch with friends tomorrow so looking forward to that.
2nd chemo went very much like the first - mouth sores - fuzzy head - extremely tired. Didn't feel like talking or eating or anything, didn't want to see anyone - it feels like one regresses into oneself - something you don't want to do, but have to go there somehow. So basically the schedule is 10 days following Chemo is not great and then 10 days of feeling better. Still low on energy, but the coping skills are there.
I know you are all waiting to see what my Sunshine Gifts have been the last few days - well to be honest, what with Christmas preparation and just not feeling well, I haven't opened anything in a while. I just enjoy it so much more when I am feeling good.
Monday afternoon
Well folks - enjoyed my visitors for lunch - caught up with my old boss and his wife from a previous company. We have known each other for approx 30 years and haven't seen each other for a while - so it was great to get all the news. A very nice visit.
Well ..... I opened a gift today - a basket filled with delicious goodies - English chocolates/cookies etc. etc. (I am already into the wine gums - love wine gums). There were enough gifts in this basket to last me a couple of days - thank you gift giver - I appreciate it so much and the basket will come in handy. I was telling my friends all about the Sunshine Basket thing and they were amazed. I am still amazed.
I cant tell you how good it is to feel good and be myself. So I intend to enjoy the next few days leading up to Christmas - the Christmas spirit is upon me (not literally)!!
Talk to you soon.
Love J.
