Day 6 finds me waking up drenched in sweat. Another chemo side effect... temporary menopause! Eww! It's Saturday and my husband and daughter have been out running errands while I couch it up in front of the tv. I'm still feeling sluggish and in a daze, but I notice no nausea at all. I'd much rather be tired than queasy, so I'm cool with this arrangement. My in-laws stopped by later that night to join us for delicious food from First & Last Tavern (my appetite is mostly back) and a game of Gloom... awesome card game that had to be explained to me ten times (chemo brain)!
Day 7: Today is "Meatfest"... an event organized by my husband and my uncle Bob featuring a smoked turkey and smoked "Boston Butt" <--- no thank you?! I learned it's actually a pork shoulder. Why call it a butt then? Anyway, I had some and it was amazing. Today I started to feel "the fog" lift and my body felt a little more energized. I went from noon to 9 pm without napping, which is a big deal for me since starting chemo.
