Bleomycin is a chemotherapy drug. It is the main drug that I am taking to help stomp out any cancer cells free floating (hopefully not) in my body. It is a nasty drug. One of the things that it does is to make it difficult to breath.
Tuesday night was bad with the chills. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, I have been learning about how much energy that I can expend doing anything: conversation, walking the dogs, watching TV or reading. A friend stopped by on Thursday to catch up because she had returned from Sedona AZ. It was only a 30 minute visit and I needed to rest with a nap. Today out of the house because of two realtor showings, and on the way home. Stopped by King Soopers (a local grocery store) and snails moved faster than I did. If I didn't move a glacier speed, I would have been out and useless for the rest of the evening. Not that being useless is a horrid thing to happen, but being useless to myself sucks.
Bleomycin is going to take a while before it gets out of my system. In the mean time, slow deep breathing is going to have to do.
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend. It will be an interesting what we can do or not do with two dogs. The Bolder Boulder is this weekend, along with the Boulder Creek Festival. Well as long as Shane and Butch are on a leash we should both be good.
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
What happens when the panic, a nervous break down and growing up meet at a dinner for coffee. Also... mainly for now.. to let everyone know what is going on in my head and how much I could not be doing this without them.
