As all the changes occur I need to keep track of bodily functions. Yes, there I said it. (sorry about no warning with that). I've never had to do that before. Not exactly what I call fun things to keep track of.
But it is like that. The other day I blew my nose and it started to bleed, didn't last long. I know the nurse said something about nose bleeds, did I remember what she said, No, I looked it up in my book and it said, The nose might bleed. Well that didn't help. I figured if it didn't stop after a while I would call.
But that is how my mind works. I also have to watch to see if I am winded walking up the stairs. So now I walk up the stairs and wonder am I winded? Is my heart beating faster?
Everything now is a question. Is this normal? Is that normal? Especially when it comes to my stomach. I start to think, gee, is it starting to hurt? Should it feel like this? I'm going to drive myself crazy. (I know what you are thinking, its a short drive for me to get to crazy)
I'm trying not to over think. Trying it the best way to put it.
I am keeping myself distracted by working on my assignment for the class I'm finishing up. I'm crocheting a shawl.
Some of you might know that I am a member of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) That means my ancestor Seth Pomeroy fought against the British in the American Revolution. I like the DAR because they focus on service for our troops and veterans. They are making knit and crochet hats for the service men and women. I'm hoping to make a few hats for them. That should keep me busy and distracted. I can only make dark colors and grey or olive green. No purple hats for this project. My goal is 5 hats. I haven't started yet. Wish me luck. Jovi loves to play with the skeins of yarn. She thinks its fun to tangle the yarn for me.
The other day I went walking in the mall. There was a bunch of vendors there. It was advertised as a Girls night out. I got a bag and some coupons. As I walked around you could put your name in drawings for prizes. So I entered a few. I got a text the next day. I had won the spa package. I thought I would be getting all the products shown in the basket the person had. No, I had won a spa experience that I could host in my house or a different location. I just had to invite 3 friends to join my for this wonderful experience. So basically I won a party to have her sell my friends stuff. Not that I don't want to support home businesses, but I didn't want a party I wanted the lotions. So I texted her back saying to go to the next person in line. I learned a lesson there.
The thing that brightened my day was hearing from my LMS peeps. They all wrote such encouraging and wonderful things. Have I said before I work with some amazing people. I am so blessed to work with them. I really needed that encouragement.
This is my good week and it looks to be good weather. So if anyone wants to go for a walk this week, give me a call or text. I would love to get out and enjoy the nice weather!
Then next Monday is my third chemo treatment. I'm praying it goes as smoothly as the second. I have my routine that worked last time and will hopefully work again.
I'm off to find my knitting needles to work on a cap.
