If you ever have to do chemo theropy make sure to do it in the summer time or any season other than the cold and flu season. I have been careful all the way back to October when I started having surgery to stay away from anyone feeling under the weather. My family has been diligent in making sure when the kids have had even just a little sniffle they didn’t come to visit. I have pretty much become a hermit; I think I can count the times I have been out on one hand. I’ve missed out on the kid’s birthdays, family get together and church just to mention a few.

Despite all my efforts it happened anyway, I have a cold in my nose and it is so magnified.
Most of my visitors have been thoughtful and careful not to come over when they were not feeling well. When I had to start going to the lab for blood test every day because of the blood thinners, I had some concerns. The first thing I thought of was, I have to sit in this room with all these sick people waiting to get my blood work done. Not Good! I finally by chance was able to get them to let me go to the back and wait when I complained about the smell in the room. Seems when women get older they start to lose their sense of smell so, they put on lots and lots of perfume. When I walk into the room with three or four of these ladies I start to turn green and almost lose it. If you’ve ever been pregnant it’s kind of like morning sickness all day long and smells can really set me off.

I did spend some time trying to clean my bedroom today, it was actually comical. I started out on my feet sorting clothes and soon realized I could do this sitting down so I sat on the floor to finish. Buy the time I decided I was finished I was laying on the floor sorting the clothes. I think the fatigue may be holding on because of the cold in my nose!
