Holy Chemo Batman!

 I met up with my husband Thursday at the gym and decided to use the sitting bike machine for 45 minutes. That was awful, my legs hurt twice as much as the elliptical and I burned half as many calories. Then I did 80 tricep extensions at 10lbs. Then the wonderful Chemo and Nulasta shot kicked in .

My husband hardcore exercises everyday, I am not going to be able to do that. (Thanks to my cancer ridden body ) I do try and keep active though (No laying in bed all day for me!) My Nulasta shot (Which I call my bone shot) is in full force right now. Even on Vicodin I feel like all my bones are being crushed. I decided to take a couple days off so I didn’t over stress my body . (My Dr.’s want me to keep my strength up) Also eating is getting complicated. 

When you have no appetite it is hard to remember to nourish your body. I have to remember to not just eat whatever comes my way and to actually eat things my body needs. (Sounds easy right)  

The biggest complaint I have about Chemo is the one Chemo drug they give me causes my whole mouth to be super sore for about 3 days. I don’t want to eat or drink anything and I am constantly brushing my teeth and living on Orajel. Finally when my mouth starts feeling better my bones start to ache especially my jaw. 

By tomorrow I hope that I will be up to going to the gym again. (Stupid Cancer)
