Honolulu getting closer
It's been an up and down day. Steve and I walked Brix and Demi for most of a mile and I'm hopeful that a real exercise program is gradually getting established. Last summer a 2-mile walk was a breeze, but now, with so much fatigue, a single mile is asking a lot.
I also read in bed a lot, when I was awake enough. We went out for lunch, but my appetite is so down that it was fun for Steve and a waste for me. I should have stayed home with one-half sandwich instead. But I also finally got a hair cut - greatly needed - and that probably did more than anything to help me feel human again.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with my primary care physician and I'm hoping that will get me back on track again. I really don't feel well and I'm dealing with constant pain so I'm discouraged most of the time. But this all comes and goes; tomorrow could be a completely different day.
We are due to fly to Honolulu in a couple weeks so all this has to be resolved by then. It will be a brief trip - only five days - but we've been looking forward to it for months and I don't want to be the one to mess it up. We were in exactly the same situation last May - I was completing chemotherapy and ready to begin a healing stint. That time it worked! I just sat around the pool and felt stronger day by day.
I do hope and pray that you will feel well enough to go on your trip to HI. That would be so wonderful to soak up sun and relax.
