A Deep Sleep
I woke up this morning with Holly at our usual time (6:30a) and had my carnation instant breakfast drink. But I felt tired and low energy so Holly suggested I try to take nap when she left at 8am. The last thing I remember is her pulling the bedroom door closed and the next thing was waking up at 11:30am. Hmmmm, maybe I need more sleep right now too. I am starting to have that part of the body ache thing they told me I'd have-where you feel like you have the flu. Last night my back and feet and stomach hurt. I had to take tylenol to get comfortable enough to go to sleep. If you've ever had the flu, you know how achey and tired and slow you feel. Just getting up to go brush your teeth seems like a chore. So that is the stage I'm at today.
That being said, my mom is on her way to get us a Frosty from Wendy's. ;-)
The birds have been very nice today with a pair of little woodpeckers and many purple finches. The purple coneflowers look great from my bedroom window and the hydrangeas look great from the LR.
We watched a cute movie last night about Burt Munro, a NZ motorcycle guy who travelled all the way around the world to test his Indian motorbike on the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967. It is a true story and there is footage of the real Burt in the special features. It was cute and sweet. He was a determined guy and it was cool to see how much her did to realize his dream of getting a real time trail for his bike. I think the name of the movie is the World's Fastest Indian, which by the way, was built way back in 1920. Amazing that he could tinker with that thing to get it to reach over 200 mph top speed.-teresa

I'm sorry today is another rough one---but, Teresa, you look so amazing for someone whose body is going through what you are going through. I think it's a testament to how incredbily well you have maintained your body and overall health that you are able to make it through this awful chemo regimen and still look like a superstar, runner, kayaker, hiker, amazing woman. Heck, we've both got patients that look worse when they're having a great day and not even sick!
Thanks for letting me crash in your space for dinner---it was great to meet your lovely mom and get to spend some time with you and Holly. I'm still struggling with the impotence of not knowing how to help---when you think of something I can do I hope you won't hesitate to let me know!
Leaving the boys in G'boro for the week to head back up the hill. I can't wait for you to heal up and spending a day kayaking on the Tuck for fall leaf season. Saying prayers for your comfort and for good news on your bone marrow biopsy.

You did alot to cheer me up by visiting. And I ate your lentil soup for lunch. You'll find me wearing that Pilates shirt, pulling in all the energy I can get.
