Strange Stuff

This chemo is strange stuff! In fact, if I stop and think about it too much, I'll probably get freaked out about it! Seriously, if it's potent enough to make my hair fall out...what else is it doing? I know, that's what it's supposed to do in order to kill off any cancerous cells that could be rapidly dividing in my body...still it's strange to think about!

Did I mention falling flat of my back in JC Penney's? Yep, I tried to squat down for something and just kept on going. Are you getting visuals? It was funny! I hope no one saw me! Stacey was around the corner and didn't see me and Sherry was in a different store. It was quite comical as they scolded each other for "not watching mom"! Then when they told Art, he said the same thing! Like I'm a kid that needs to be watched! They are way too protective!

The past couple of days found me in the "chemo fog", feeling pretty sick to my stomach and with mouth sores. It kind of caught me off guard because I had done so good the first couple of days...then WHAM! I slept most of New Years day, but I guess that's what my body needed. Sometimes, it's hard not to get discouraged and yesterday was one of those days! I'm thankful that my hubby is sensitive and gave me a little pep talk.

I keep reminding myself how fortunate I am. The outcome of my breast cancer could have been so much worse. Since my diagnosis, I've met people and read stories of others who were not so fortunate. God's hand was on me and I know it and I'm so thankful!! I just get impatient when I think of all the things I could be doing. I know...there will be plenty of time. God's timing is perfect!!

Today I'm feeling better. I saw the plastic surgeon and finally got the rest of the stitches out this afternoon! I still can't believe he could leave them in for 2 months!
