Last night was not fun. I had such a hard time sleeping. I kept thinking, "When are the side effects going to hit me? Am I feeling nauseous right now? How many hours has it been since I last took the nausea pill? Am I going to wake up with hair?" It didn't help that I had to use the restroom numerous times, probably from the tons of water that I was practically inhaling.
The great thing was that I woke up feeling absolutely normal. Tony stayed home today, so we went to the park and rode our bikes around. I felt like a kid again! It was so much fun to be at the park on a weekday morning, with the whole family. There were no other families out there; we had the whole place to ourselves. Usually, we have to fight the crowds on a weeknight or the weekend.
This afternoon, we tried a recipe from my new cookbook, The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen. We made Middle Eastern Chick Pea Burgers. Not as tasty as I'd hoped, but a decent and healthy meal, nonetheless.
Ok, so Tony had to give me my first Neupogen shot today. I was not looking forward to it. I wanted to take a picture of the action, but I freaked out too much. I couldn't look away AND snap the picture at the same time. Got yelled at because I screamed before the shot. So no action shot today. It really wasn't bad at all. I'm just not used to getting a shot by someone other than a medical professional.
