March 8 Morning Update

I’m feeling pretty well this morning. On my two-mile walk/jog, I jogged without walking the last 1.5 miles. I had to push a little to do that, but I wanted to get it in, as I probably won’t have the aerobic capacity to repeat it for some time.

I’m getting my Neulasta shot about 14:30 today. I think I’ll do my weight training regime very soon after – before the Neulasta starts to hit me.

I take Ginger root pills as that supposed to prevent motion sickness and I’m thinking that it might help reduce nausea. There is one side effect of the ginger pill. It makes my face flush.

I also have plenty of Kytrils, which is a prescription drug. I probably won’t be eating much today or tomorrow. Typically, most food taste inedible.

However, I’m tipping the scales at 161 Lbs this morning so it won’t hurt me a bit to reduce my calorie consumption. Although in past chemo cycles I drop about three Lbs about three or four days AFTER my treatment.

We have some fresh asparagus, which has proved edible and plenty of ice cream, which also seems to go down quite well. How’s that for a diet asparagus and ice cream – but not at the exact same time.

Steamed asparagus is great. Nora gets it all the time. I also like the Brussel sprouts and cauliflower steamed. Often, we cut up some small potatoes, onions, peppers, and throw in the steamer. Makes for a great meal.
