The day after

Chemo went well yesterday. I had a lot of fun talking and catching up with Marsha. She just got back from a trip with her husband Craig to England. They had a wonderful time and it was good to hear about all they did. Chemo went by quickly and smoothly. Afterwards we went to lunch at Marie Calendar's. I had an artichoke chicken dish. I don't really care for artichokes so I didn't eat them but the rest of the dish tasted wonderful. I also got a free piece of pie which I had to take home because I was so full.

It was a good thing that I ate a full lunch because by late afternoon I wasn't feeling well. By evening I was feeling pretty sick, sicker than I have felt in a long time. My sinuses hurt. I had a pain in my side that moved to my back. I don't have an appendix so I know it wasn't that. I also ached all over especially my legs and feet. Shannon, one of my many angels, came and did the reflexology on my feet which always helps. She thought it might be a cyst on my ovaries which I have had before. I decided to call Dr. Gray in the morning if it didn't go away on its own.

David and Brother Holmes gave me a blessing and I went to bed around 10:00. When I woke up this morning around 10:30 I felt fine. The pains in my legs and side were gone. My sinuses felt much better and I felt like I could get up and get something done. I know that I need to take it easy but there are still things around the house that I can get done while I feel good.
