A fairly restful sleep after first day of chemo. After waking up at 7 am for an hour to fill up on mediactions, I returned back to bed. For a girl who never takes more than a few Tylenol, it takes alot of coordinating of all my new medications. I went back to sleep until 11 and got ready for our annual Girls Christmas. This is my special 6 girls who I met in Education and are still best of friends 20 years later. A fantastic group who support each other through all the highs and lows. They made alterations to their plans just so we could get our day in before I get into the thick of things but also to show me their love and support after hearing "the news". They sent me home with a bag full of goodies, magazines, books, bath stuff, chocolate. I'm spoiled.
I came home for a 2 hr nap and then got picked up to go to one of these same girls surprise 40th birthday parties! Fun to surprise one of the funniest, silliest, most kind hearted people. After a few snacks and gingerales, time to get home and hit the sac.
I'm hoping to get a good nights sleep and that the nausea should almost be gone. It's a big day tomorrow for boys. Taking them to Max and Ruby!
So thankful this first experience went faily smoothly. My weeknd of recovery was conqured by a crew of people. My hubby waited on me hand and foot, messages everyday of support and good wishes from friends and family, and bags of goodies being dropped off by groups of girlfriends.
I know there's lots left to battle, but I know I'll be able to do it.
