The chemo seems to be following the same pattern as last time. Maybe I can at least count on it to stay consistent.
Friday is infusion day. All five hours of it. Not so bad, if boring.
Saturday I feel fairly well, but my basal insulin goes crazy, up to twice normal. My balance is getting shaky, but I feel well enough to spend a few hours at the fair, with the aid of a rolling walker. Took in the quilt show, but the horse show grounds were too rough to handle.
Sunday the need for basal insulin crashes – 90% normal. By 7 I’m ready for bed, and I sleep until 9 Monday morning, and crash again after breakfast.
Not that I have an appetite, but I drag myself out of bed for an unwanted snack and nausea meds by 1. Joints and feet hurt. If I continue to follow the pattern of the last round, my insulin needs will rise again Monday, but I won’t feel like getting out of bed until Thursday. I did get dressed this morning, though — it has not rained, the forecast is close to 80 today, and I have to water.
Anyway, here are a couple of quilts from the show.

Beautiful quilts…my mother had an eye for color and was quilt artist. i didn’t inherit the knack. I pray that things even out as far as the chemo. It’s rough stuff.
Actually I’m feeling a little better today. This round doesn’t feel as bad as the last one, though I’ve little doubt I’m going to lose the rest of my hair and I don’t have much appetite.
I have never succeeded in finishing a quilt. I tried twice. In a box in the basement is one I started for my daughter when she was about ten, and she’s almost 45 now! I do own a couple lovely ones, made by friends. I’m always enthralled by the beauty that can be created by using fabric.
I haven’t visited here in a while so missed hearing of your illness and surgery when you first posted about it. I had uterine cancer six years ago but didn’t have to do the chemo. Hang in there… the results will be worth the misery. I hope you’re feeling better soon.
I’ve never made one, but I do enjoy seeing them.
