Right now I do not mind that my appointment is in the afternoon as I have been able to do work this morning and have not had much fatigue. I think that I may regret it later as I am going to be quite tired. I studied memory for my graduate work, so it should not surprise me but when fatigued I do not always remember everything. I am also cognizant of the impact that it has on my ability to drive so I do try and limit it when I am very fatigued. My head gets a bit light headed and I know that I should rest. Today, this is the time where I would normally be fatigued. On the Saturday at this time last week I was a bit fatigued and not feeling amazing. I think it impacts my eating a bit as when I ate this morning I made sure not to eat too much but it was ok. It is so easy to disrupt my eating schedule. Yesterday with me being at the hospital for awhile my timing was off and my weight has decreased slightly. It oscillates a bit but trends upwards. I am still a bit fatigued, but it is not as bad as I thought at the end of the week. We will see what happens tomorrow as my treatment is later today. Xavier has a hockey game tonight at 8:30 so I want to see what the impact will be on me and whether I will be able to stay up that whole time. Xavier is staying home as he does not feel well, but I am going to attend the game still and take stats. Mel does not attend if Xavier is not playing, but I will still watch if I can. Right now I think I have the capacity to attend so I am going to see if I can. I am not going to drive though and will get a ride home at the end of the night I think.
Tomorrow I have some friends that area going to come and visit. I am not sure what are week we will do, but it will be nice to see them again. Our island light has arrived and that will most likely be installed tomorrow sometime. I know that Mel also wants to change the blinds and put up the new curtains and rods for the front. I appreciate that we have so much help coming all of the time and I look forward to seeing my friends again as I have not see them for a long time. I am so scrawny now that I am wearing medium clothing. I do not remember the last time that I fit into medium. Tomorrow I will push things a bit and see what the transition period into week 3 will be.
When I was at the cancer center today it was uneventful, but I did see someone I know at the appointment desk. I wanted to make sure that I had my appointment prior to meeting with the surgeon. She said that it should not be too much of a problem and she would take care of it. My appointment this afternoon ended up being early so that was nice. Right now I feel tired, but it is a different kind of tired. I feel like I would at the end of a long night when you stumble home at 3am. It is different from the fatigue that I normally get from treatment. At the end of treatment it is a physical tiredness. Today I went into the appointment a bit tired. Right after my appointment I drove home and I could feel that I was approaching my limits. Tonight will be a good measure of cognition and ability to focus. I will see if I can track the statistics or not well tonight. I have a friend that will drive me home after Mel drops me off. I may bring a warm beverage as well.
