It's turned into the weekly amy

  I'm lucky enough that the chemo drug I am one doesn't have too many nasty side effects. The big one is fatigue. I had my second treatment yesterday. I slept 13 hours. Today, I felt fine, just tired. I look incredibly exhausted too. The pale skin and dark circles are not my best look, but it's all I can do to just shower. 

Today I worked, Luckily i can usually make up wednesday's out by doing 4 10 hour days. Y'all this is only possible because 1. I do spreadsheets all day and most everything is a long term project and 2. I can take a 1 hour nap at lunch. And that is an important one hour nap. Usually Dr Tom will feed me lunch and make sure i'm staying hydrated cause that stuff zaps that water right out of you and then I'll go back to work. I literally woke up to Arby's on tuesday. It was the best ever. 

I'm going to swoon over my husband a little bit y'all. I give him a lot of grief for being messy and a little sassy, but man. He has been through it. I have been far more emotional and far more exhausted this go round. And he has let me cry it out and taken me to 300 dr's appointments and brought me endless drinks and snacks when I've just been too tired to walk up and down those stairs. He is the sun in my sky. I literally woke up at three o'clock on sunday night with awful leg cramps convinced that my leg was going to fall off. And he just snuggled me and made sure that I was okay. 

I have 2 more treatments and these are the worst two. By next week I'm going to be a zombie. But tests show that right now it's working and my numbers are slowly coming up, so that's something.
