Day two: it’s a good day to have a good day

This is the week where I have chemo treatments five days in a row, and today ends day two. Yesterday turned out to be a good day, and day was good as well.

I definitely can start to feel the chemo treatments, although I don’t know have to exactly describe it. It’s not that I feel it go through my veins or the fluids feeling cold. Nothing like that. It’s just this “ew” feeling in my body, which does make sense. It’s literally poison going through my veins. A controlled poison designed to cure, but poison none-the-less.

And I’m already started to feel the effects of being tired. I worked on my computer pretty much all through treatment today doing something creative (which I will show you tomorrow), but as soon as I got home I slept for over two hours. Like, the noisy, snoring, drooling kind of sleep.

They say my taste buds will change soon, so I’m trying to enjoy food as much as I can in the meantime. I discovered the treatment center will let you order lunch from their cafe downstairs, so I ordered a meat pizza. Pizzas can be hit or miss at places that typically mainly have sandwiches, tacos and salads, but the pizza was surprising good.

Two days in and overall things are good. The biggest thing about treatments really is just occupying the time throughout the day.

But I also realize that harder days are in my near future, so I’m trying to make the most of each moment.

Today is a good day to have a good day.
