Chemo Status: 7 of 8 done

As multiple friends pointed out, Monday was my penultimate treatment!  Last one will be April 16. 

So far, about the same as last time. I tried posting this update before but kept falling asleep mid sentence. I’m still recovering from the sleep disruption that seems to come from the infusion day combo of steroids and Benadryl. As of yesterday the paclitaxel body aches hit, so I’m back on the pain killers. Today, other than placing a grocery order and eating lunch,  I have spent the day on the sofa sleeping. Wake up, go back to sleep, wake up, eat a piece of Easter candy, go back to sleep, and repeat. I haven’t even turned the TV on (yet!)

My wit escapes me most of the time now.  I would like to share a funny story but can’t seem to think of one. I feel like I’m doing whatever I can to make the time move forward until this is done.  It’s been a blah week with moody children and a sad community.  

For those who don’t already know, our beloved elementary school principal passed away unexpectedly last Saturday.  So it’s a strange time around here.  I’ve been thinking mostly of the teachers and staff who worked with her everyday.  They continue caring for our kids every day, while navigating their own loss of a friend and colleague.
