More waiting.....
The last time I was waiting for Tumor Board results, there were a lot of cases and mine was pushed to the next week.
I didn't hear from my oncologist yesterday, so I'll assume no news is no news. I'm getting a lot done in the meanwhile.
Lots of sleep, lots of puttering around.
Straightening up some areas of the house that need help.
I'm working frantically on a knitting project. It is complicated, and I suspect the chemo will mess with my ability to do complicated patterns.
And I wait. One advantage of knitting is that I can see the passage of time. Eight minutes each row....
Just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I've made a list of foods that worked before, and a daily list, so I keep doing at least the minimum. I'm caught up on laundry, need to run the vacuum cleaner. Just those things you want to do when you'll be out of it for several months.
Meanwhile, my fantasy has been painting the house. It's a manufactured home, with the original wallpaper like coverings. I don't have time to properly prep the walls, Killz coat them (this is Florida, need to protect from mold, mildew, etc.) and then paint. At least I'm working to figure the cost and choose the colors.
Status:
I feel good but tired. After a visit to the Supportive Care center, my generic Cymbalta has been upped to a therapeutic level. Yesterday I worked out with Richard Simmons. I couldn't do the whole 45 minute routine. At one point, I started feeling light headed, so I sat down. I walked a lot yesterday, lifted some heavy items. Enjoying my coffee, in case I can't later.
