It has been a long weekend. On the plus side, the whole breast removal followed by an infection during which time I completely lost my appetite, has meant I've dropped about 10 pounds in the last month. Other than that the weekend completely sucked. I've done nothing but sleep and watch TV. My temperature has been riding a roller coaster and today is the first day I haven't had a pounding headache. I alternate between chills and fever. Then throw in a couple of night sweats. I've changed my PJs three nights of the last four. And one night I had to find a dry pillow and sleep on the other side of bed.
Rob's fishing weekend got scaled back (no pun intended). He and the other amigos stayed in the city and fished. The trophy is back in my house for the fifth consecutive year -- thanks to a whopping 21-inch bass weighing five pounds.
Hopefully today is the turning point and I start feeling better. I really want to go to my event on Friday. Rob says he can probably drive me which means I won't need to expend that energy at least. Then if I have a setback I can call him to come get me. It's nice that the event is less than an hour from home for a change. If it was in Cape Breton, the five-hour drive would be too daunting. I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday for my pathology report...hopefully I'll get the green light for the weekend too.
Sleep is our body's way of trying to heal I suppose...no matter how damned boring it can be for the person, it does give the body a chance to scale down some functions while it concentrates on fixing others. Do you want me to send you some movies? Any old faves you have on VHS that you would like on DVD or something new? A visit from some male strippers maybe? Just let me know...I have connections. Love you lots and lots!
