The steroids had me starting the day early again. I was able to stretch it out until 4:30 am, but getting up at that time makes for a long day. I felt good enough yesterday that I wanted to try to go to into the office today. In hindsight, that was probably overly optimistic. I was at my desk working at 6:30, so by 10:30, I was looking at the clock. I worked until 12:30, then went home and had something to eat. I thought I had my second wind, so I ran a couple of errands. I stretched it too far, and was toast by the time I got home.
On the plus side, the anti nausea meds are working. Sometimes it feels as though I’ve been kicked in the stomach, but I haven’t had to run to the bathroom yet.
Smarter choices tomorrow. I’m getting an inkling of what’s to come. It’s a little daunting. I need to learn to take it easy and rest for the fight.
Linda, this is a day at a time adventure.

Linda, sounds like it will take some adjusting to what your ‘new normal’ will be .. you are the priority … rest and replenish your stress. Reach out to us for the other things .. we’re a phone call or text away! 💕

Although I was disappointed, I didn’t think I would be able to keep up with a regular course this semester. Turns out, I found a better option. Thanks for your feedback.
