Yeah for me!!! I am happy to report that things have been good this week. I have worked for the past three days and even though I have a doctors appointment tomorrow I plan on working then too. (I'm only working half days, around 4 hours a day) Tuesday was a great day, I woke up feeling normal. After I worked I ran by the store then made dinner and went for ice cream and a walk with a good friend of mine. Come bed time was a different story. I don't know why, but I can not sleep this week. I lie in bed wide awake, its not like I'm worrying about stuff, I'm tired, I just can't fall asleep. Wednesday was the worst, I didn't fall asleep till after 3am. So, last night I took an Ambien, and guess what, I sleep good. Thank God for Ambien! As far as chemo symptoms, I'm still doing really well. I don't think I feel like myself yet (still have that 'yucky' feeling), but not sick enough to slow me down. I've got lots of things planned in the next two weeks that I will enjoy and will help keep me stay busy til the next round of chemo. Now we just wait...for my hair to fall out (at least it will be summer and not winter, so my head doesn't freeze). I probably have another week before it really starts coming out.
