    Glad you got to the beach @sister.

    I agree with your comment about doing something normal. My NORMAL was having our youngest Grandchildren on a Wednesday. Couldn't do it the week after my A/C but by the second and third week I felt well enough to have them. There other Nanna was able to step in for us on the week I couldn't do it. Was much easier on Taxol. I had it on a Thursday weekly so by the following Wednesday was OK. It kept me sain.

    Hope you are having a better day.

    It is important to normal, isn't it?  I've decided that I'm going to make that a verb and from now on make attempts at normalling.  I've been trying to put together a strategy for well-being to deal with this vortex of bc that I've been sucked into and normalling parts of my life is going to be part of it.  I hope your grandchildren were lots of fun and you sent them home on a sugar high!  (My kids always thought that they were getting away with murder at grandma's and grandpa's and that I would be cross about the amount of junk they at there but what happens at grandma's, stays at grandma's.)

    5:30am!  We're still on daylight saving due to Mad March.  Almost light enough to go for a walk.

    My Dexamethasone is staring at me. I have to take it this morning and am dragging my feet knowing that it's going to make me feel sick, give me reflux and three terrible nights...

    Does the Dex make you sick @kmakm?  It does the opposite for me.  The only problem is when it wears off.

    Not too sick this time with the Dex, just a bit nauseous & refluxy. Oh those burps... Made the most of my last energiser bunny day. Walked 5kms (first time this cycle), did laundry, two trips to the supermarket, baked mint choc chip biscuits to thank the chemo nurses tomorrow and even did the washing up for the first time in weeks. Now, if only I could sleep...
