I slept for a whole 11 hours last night. It wasn't that solid good sleep where you wake up refreshed, it was more like that sick sleep where you wake up several times in the night, but your body feels so gross that you are just grateful for the possibility of more sleep. I woke up this morning feeling ok. I wish I had more energy, I realize my burst of energy yesterday morning was because I was riding high on Sudafed. Usually it is my saving grace, but man, it was no fun yesterday and I remember waking up at the exact moment it wore off last night and feeling so relieved.
Avi is already off to chemo, usually I would go with him but I told him yesterday, it would not be a good idea if I am sick. I feel guilty and yet so relieved. Usually Tuesday is our day to spend together in chemo (he sleeps and I work on the computer) but we are together. TODAY, I get to take it easy this morning, mail our holiday cards, run to CVS to get medicine that will work, and perhaps work on the blanket I am making for Avi's nephew. Ahhh, so relaxing.
So today I am grateful for...
The post office being 3 blocks away...
CVS being 2 blocks after that...
The rain stopping long enough for me to walk over...
my house being reasonably clean...
Avi...for those of you who don't know, this man is amazing. To have his body go through what he is forced to put it through, to hear what he has to hear. He still can put a smile on his face, he can still talk about poop and call me his pretty princess. He is the strongest, most loving, stubborn, kind, resiliant man I have ever known and I love him more than I can say.
And we made it one more day...
