Happy as a Lark

Yesterday, I had chemo. I had a nurse who sticks nearby her patients and got me out of there quickly, so I didn’t have time to write, which was OK with me because I like to get in and get out of chemo as quickly as possible! Don’t get me wrong — I still find it relaxing and peaceful — I just want to spend as little time as necessary refueling. Today, I got my third Covid shot, my second booster. Despite feeling blah today, I am sooooo thankful that the booster is available to cancer patients and those undergoing chemotherapy and those who have weakened immune systems. I’ve had a trifecta of punches today as I am feeling blah possibly from chemo, possibly from side effects from the booster, or from allergies — well, definitely from allergies and either chemo or the booster. I have my chemo headache and am feeling tired and achy. I’m trying to take it easy today and to drink lots of water so I don’t feel bad tomorrow; my mom is coming to visit! But I am going to start rapid cleaning in the next half an hour! Day Two is usually my worst day for chemo side effects. But, all I have to do is pick Mom up from the airport, and then I can lay around if I have to tomorrow. So, I won’t be thinking about cancer for the next two weeks, till my next chemo/immunotherapy appt. I’ll just be enjoying time with my mom. I’ll update again from my next chemo appt.!

Stay healthy and safe, everyone!
