Day Two of First Chemo

I must say, I am astounded! I do not feel sick at all!!! In fact, my knees don't hurt as much as they usually do, and I think that is because they gave me a steroid to ease the chemo symptoms. I feel tired, but not run-down. I spent my day out in my yard, repotting some plants, and pulling weeds again. Gary cut the legs off of a stool for me and it is just the perfect height for gardening and pulling weeds. I was in the shade all day, though. It was rather warm during the afternoon. I drank a lot of water while I was out there, too.

I have NO idea how I will feel tomorrow, and I can only take it one day at a time. But I consider today a MIRACLE, so THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND POSITIVE THOUGHTS MY WAY!!!!! I believe they all make a difference!

I got a shot this afternoon that is supposed to help my white blood cell count from getting too low. So I can keep some immunity. That was nothing, but of course they gave me a list of possible side effects, so we shall see. One of them is pains in the bones. I am not sure how I would be able to notice, because of my arthritis...so no big whoop.

Now I am going to go downstairs to my craft corner and work on my greeting cards. It's my other "happy place'.

LOVE TO ALL!!

Mary
