Today I went in to get an extra 2 liters of fluids to
help me fight off any dehydration. It took 2 1/2 hours and I was chilled to the bone!
I had two blankets on me and I was still cold. Half way through the process, I
had to un-connect from the IV tree and go over to get changed into a gown for
my round of radiation. There they had a ‘blanket warmer’ and they put warm
flannel sheets on my legs and arms while I was doing radiation. It felt sooo
good! When I was done they let me take those with me back to the chemo side of
the office. As I finished up the rest of the fluids, all snuggled under my two
fleece blankets and two warm flannel sheets, the doctor walked by said I looked
like I was ready for a winter campout. Haha I just think my internal thermostat
is broken right now! J
This afternoon I felt much more tired than usual. I think
the radiation fatigue is building up. I was able to meet with Lexy and some of
her teachers for Parent Teacher Conferences. That felt good. It was great to
hear all the awesome things that Lexy’s teachers had to say about her. She’s a
terrific girl.
