Overdid it

I feel like I've been hit by a steamroller.  Second taxol was on Thursday and I haven't been feeling tooooo unwell so wanted to tick a few things off at the shops this morning.  I took all 3 kids to get haircuts, trawled around the shops mainly to get my son to try stuff on (he's outgrown boys but skinny for mens and starting to pay attention to style).  Then had to get some stuff for Mother's Day lunch at in-laws tomorrow.  I've been home had lunch and had a nap but I can't believe how wiped out I am.  F*&k cancer!
  • Haven't had a sherry for yonks!  
    I spent yesterday afternoon slumped on my sister-in-law's sofa mostly asleep.  So much for Mother's Day!
  • When I saw this thread "Overdid it" it made me think of an Ad on TV years ago for a brand of beer loaded on a back of a ute and the fellas decide at the last minute they better get something for the ladies, Sherry - the ute breaks it's back and the catchphrase was "I think we overdid it with the Sherry".................yes I am probably showing my age but isn't it funny how a memory can be triggered

    Hear you totally about keeping on top of chores and kids growing out of clothes and shoes

    Hopefully your pace will be a little more relaxed as you gear up for the balance of treatment

    Take care
  • @Sister So sorry to read your post & to hear you have had a sucky day!! You have been through so much my dear friend, mentally, physically & emotionally & it sounds like you have bitten off a bit too much today. I guess we all seem to think we are a little invincible so when our bodies fail us, we take it hard. With Mothers Day tomorrow, you need to be the one being pampered so make sure especially tomorrow, you get spoilt rotten by your kids & husband as you deserve to be. take care & try not to let this little set back worry you. I haven't been through chemo so can't imagine how hard it is but it is encouraging that you did feel well enough to step outside & tackle a big shopping/jobs day.....it was just a little too big for you. Take care & stay strong as you & many others on this forum are a constant source of inspiration & strength to me. I know you will beat this & get through to the other side. Happy Mothers Day for tomorrow. Many hugs & much love xxxx
  • Rest easy @Sister. You'll learn your Taxol rhythms I'm sure. Pace yourself! But yeah, f**k cancer.
