Good day, tired day

I had a great, although rather short, day back a work yesterday. It was wonderful to see everyone and get back into the spirit of things. While I did not accomplish much, I feel like I have a starting place at least and hope to be there a few times at least next week, wound vac permitting.

After I left there I did stop to get my new slacks hemmed. The alterations place was a dry cleaner and the changing area was incredibly hot. Every time I would shut the door (it was there bathroom) I would rip my wig off and put some cold water on my head, change slacks, put the wig back on and get pinned. Today I am going to look for some more scarfs as an alternative to the wig. There are some days it will just not work!

By the time I got home it was 2pm and I had been on the go since about 8:30. I was so shocked at how exhausted I was. I got in the bed and did not get out till 6pm. I did not sleep, but I did not move much except to work on email. I was really upset at how tired I was. I thought I was tougher than that. Then I realized this is only week 2 after chemo. It ususally takes me till Saturday or Sunday to feel good enough to be on the move so I was really doing much better, and sooner. But I have to admit it -- I did overdo it. I will take it easy today.

Nurse Kathy gave me a belated birthday present -- I don't have to get the wound vac back till Monday. With the PICC line out and now healed (I was having to keep it dry in the shower with plastic wrap till today) and no wound vac, I can take a shower without fear of getting anything wet Sat and Sun! What a freedom that is! Imo is here visiting till Saturday, and she is going to take me to get scarves later today. I will do a little work first and then we will venture out during lunch. I will take things slower today for sure.

Syd and Zola are coming for the day tomorrow, and I will go watch my tennis team play on Sunday. That is it for the weekend. Wound vac back on Monday, and I will have to start seeing how I can plan that and it's battery pack into my work week. Enjoy your weekend! I will.
