The Start of Day 17

I’m still here this morning. The fatigue is unabated, but I expect that. I anticipate that tomorrow will be better. I only did a one-mile walk this morning. The walking is still a little hazardous. However, I DID do 9 pushups and 18 sit-ups. That’s a new personal best. As tired as I felt, I was surprised that I could do that many. Perhaps the Neulasta is hitting my legs more than my arms.

I weighed in at 155 Lbs this morning. That’s down 3 Lbs from yesterday. This too is expected. In previous chemo cycles, I have dropped two or three pounds in 24 hours several days after my chemo treatment. I don’t quite understand it, but that seems to be the pattern.

I haven’t taken any ibuprophen since Sunday night. I just don’t feel it would help.

Although I’m going into the office today, I expect it to be a short day. I find I can do quite a bit from home. I also find that sitting on the sofa with my laptop seems to be surprisingly comfortable.
