Easter Monday
It is the tail end of the long weekend. The sun has been shining every day which I did not expect based on last week's forecast. Even though it has been cool out the sun has tricked me into believing that spring is really here. I guess we'll see. :)
On Saturday Rick learned how to give me the injection to help my blood cells grow. It was easy and I couldn't even feel it. I stayed hooked up to the IV hydration just for a couple of hours Saturday before deciding to detach myself and just drink tea and water instead. I'm sure I will be grateful for the hydration in the future if I'm having trouble eating or drinking, but at this point being hooked up to the pump just made me feel like a sick person. (And yes, I know that I AM a sick person, but I am definitely capable of drinking my prescribed 2L of fluids at this point.)
I continue to feel pretty good, though the fatigue really kicked in the last couple of days. Yesterday I was feeling really tired and was in a bit of a brain fog. I also had a lingering low-grade headache that was really annoying. Tylenol helped cure the headache and had me feeling more normal. I also had a very necessary afternoon nap (I am NOT a napper, so this was weird). Every night I fall asleep immediately. Aside from one early wakeup on Saturday (probably the result of the steroids I was taking) I have been sleeping well at night which I am thankful for. I do love my sleep.
Our dining room is filled with plants and flowers, some of which will move outside soon. We had a layer of snow on the ground yesterday morning so I'm planning to keep them all inside for a few more days. I'm not the best plant caretaker but I suppose I've got plenty of time on my hands to figure out what they need. Thank you to everyone who contributed to my gorgeous garden!
Beautiful flowers!
