Tasigna, day 2 (and other stuff)

I fell asleep around 10:30 last night, and slept until 5am. I shouldn't be this darn tired but I am. Then again, I am always sleepy.. maybe it's age. :)  Kind of like uncontrollable flatulence, it's not because of the medication, it's age.

Yesterday was my first full day of the megga meds, and I really need to give props to my husband.  I failed to do that last night and I should have, because when I broke down sobbing, he held me. He was loving and listened to my fears and was encouraging and strong. I took them because of his faith that these pills will make me better. He loves me so much that he just held me and let me cry it out and then hugged me tighter once i took them.  He took time out from work last night to see if I had taken the next dose.  He was awake this morning for the third dose. THAT is support!! And now and forever more, when I hear the song, Lean on me, I will be thinking of him. Because he sent that to me last night so I would hear it this morning.  100 lifetimes would not be enough with this man. I love him so much and I actually FEEL and KNOW he loves me back. That is amazing to me.

So, I'm sitting at work and boss comes in and usually after he greets me, it's "where is my calendar" and I hand it to him. He'll stand at my desk and add or subtract things from the day and tell me to print another. Not today. Today he said good morning and then stood at my desk and asked how I was feeling. He told me his sister has to take chemotherapy for the rest of her life (she had a double masectomy) and the stuff she takes has the same side effects I have, but her's had the bonus of making her eyelashes grow super long. Nice, huh!  I hope that happens to me. :D  I'd have longer lashes then Amber!!!  Anyway, it surprised me that he asked how I was doing. he's never asked before.

And I'm getting stuff from coworkers, like a CD about a saint who heals, and another with a series of talks about being saved and angels (I think it's her brother as his name was Father Maturi) I listed to the CD and am listening to the recordings. I won't hurt their feelings by ignoring their concern. Catholic or not.. we both pray to God.

Okay.. the burning question of the day. Do i feel any different than yesterday. yes.  Today I feel:

• achy. my hips are throbbing like I have arthritis in both instead of just the one.
• eyes hurt, headache. Had to take tylenol when I woke this morning because my head hurt. now it's just my eyeballs. heh heh, I said 'balls' :)

that's it so far. I still remember my house number. which is a good thing!

I'll be back later, need to produce some work.
