Today’s appointment went longer due to various delays. I went in at 10 am, and I was done at 2:45 pm, about an hour later than usual.
The brain
fog crept in gradually. First was the weird feeling from the steroids. Then the
fog grew deeper with the two chemo infusions. I noticed it as I played a
particular Kindle game. The “very easy” level on the Scrabble copycat game got
harder and harder.
But despite my
chemo brain, I wanted to mark this third treatment day, Wednesday, December 4, because
it is exactly three months after my mastectomy on Wednesday, September 4. It’s
been a long journey, but there is only one more chemo treatment left. It will
be on January 8.
It was
lovely to celebrate Thanksgiving, followed by Elijah’s third birthday (December
2, though we celebrated on the first), and Shawn’s 40th birthday on
the third.
The next two
plus weeks will be devoted to resting as my body requires. And then comes Christmas with my family.
Fortunately, I did my Christmas shopping early, so all I must do is wrap
presents.
And indulge
in some favorite old-time Christmas movies such as It’s A Wonderful Life.
