With the exception of the first 2 weeks of January, this year hasn't gotten off to a great start for me. I felt fine during radiation, but once it was over, everything hit me at once. My hair fell out very quickly, so I had Thom shave my head. Then sciatica came along, and that hurts. Then I pull a muscle in my shoulder from coughing. Then I get a sinus infection. Now I have a pain in my back, I'm actually not sure if it's kidney related or if I pulled more muscles coughing. Doctor put me on a course of antibiotics, but it did not clear up the infection. So now I'm on round two of antibiotics.
To say I'm exhausted is an understatement. It's a bit depressing. Trying to take one day at a time. This has been a test of my strength. Not feeling very strong right now.
I also wore my wig for the first time at work today. I was surprised at how self-conscious and ridiculous I felt. I didn't make it through the day with it on. I feel much better wearing my hats and scarves. I felt like an impostor and I really felt I looked like a clown. People were nice and told me I look good, but I didn't feel good, and that's the only opinion I went with.
Sorry if this sounds like a pity party, oh woe is me. This is what's been going on.
I'm back on the pill chemo and I see the doctor on Feb. 18th.
I wish I had something more exciting to write about. Oh! I finally took down my Christmas decorations! LOL
