Round 2 went well. I had great visitors and the time passed quickly.
The next two days were actually better than the first time - I think it's because last time I had the lingering effects of the anesthesia to deal with. I managed to go out on Friday night for dessert (my birthday!) and for dinner on Saturday, so I'd say that counts as success. On Sunday, I drove to Niagara to pick my daughter up from Sibling Weekend with her brother. I'll admit, I was pretty tired when I got back home, but that's ok for a Sunday.
Queasiness seemed to be in check until Monday morning when I tried to take a whole handful of vitamins and pills and managed to induce my gag reflex. I can't say that it's a chemo side effect as I think I caused it. Won't be doing *that again.
Now, it's Tuesday, and the tide is turning - Tuesday is the day that I can start to drink chilled liquids without feeling like my throat is full of daggers. I still get pins and needles in my fingers and toes, but it's just a minor annoyance.

Good luck with your chemo. One of our former authors, Lynn, blogged extensively during and about her own triumph over cancer here.
I'd also like to invite you to become one of our Authors in Alexandria.
In addition to posting on anything you wish, as you desire, you may of course mirror posts you've already written from here or elsewhere to gain a different or additional audience or for any other reason that appeals to you.
If you think you might be interested, contact me through Alexandria and I'll forward our formal invitations for you to look over and return if you decide to proceed.
Come contribute your perspectives and opinions to the ongoing conversations there or, even better, start some new - and different - ones of your own.
I look forward to hearing from you.
