Ok, Funny story....

Yesterday I was taking a break while the kids watched one of their favorite shows and I noticed my mouth behaving very odd. I went up to talk with Justin about it and was unable to talk naturally. My tongue had a mind of it's own and my stomach muscles were very tight, I could not relax. After about 30 minutes I actually began to worry. We called the doctorsoffice and would hear back from the on call doctor shortly. Over the next few minutes my back started tweeking out and then my stomach and shoulders took turns reacting. I put heat on the muscles hoping that would relieve some discomfort, but no such luck. The doctor called and told us to take benadryl and it should go away. One of the common side effects from a certain medication I am taking causes "muscle spasms". I certainly ended my relationship with that medicine and am not intersted in feeling like a parkinsons disease patient. Seriously, it was weird. Funny in retrospect, but annoying at the time!

All that to say, I never take medications. I hardly ever in my life have even taken a tylenol. Side effects are just too crazy! However I do need to take some meds right now going through chemo to help with some of the side effects like nausea. nausea is by far the worst! I will do anything to get rid of it!

anyways, the first day I came home from my infusion appointment I felt a little dizzy and other than that quite well. it wasn't until a few hours later that I noticed serious nausea and dizziness as well. Some friends had planned a girls nite out that night and I was hoping to go even if I wasn't feeling well. SO I went. A little nauseas and dizzy, but still was able to have a wonderful time with some lovely ladies!! It was so encouraging! 

Once I came home though I felt awfully nauseas and could not feel better all night. Probably the worst night of my life. The next day was better but still lots of nausea. Yesterday (day4) I actually ate an entire sandwich! It was wonderful! and today even better still. I might add that it was the best sandwich of my life! (:

We are so thankful for all the delicious meals we have gotten so far and for the ones to come! Such a relief to not have to worry about that part of the day at all! what a blessing!

Cheers!
