I walked 8 blocks and came home and sat down to rest and drink water. Need to get up and do laundry, vacuum and clean the birds cages after I drink some Teeccino. I had my first round of chemo yesterday. The steroids are making it tolerable for a couple days.

That’s a lot to manage, especially after your first chemo. I really admire your courage. Be gentle with yourself and take things one step at a time. 🌸

@mindstruggle I am OK. Last time I had two different types of cancers and a third one was developing. By the time I started chemo I was anemic, drained from the colon cancer, not getting to sleep much due to running to the bathroom all the time (TMI sorry), had adrenal removal surgery, one week later got in a car wreck that totaled both cars on the way to meet with my oncologist, then had port placement surgery and told I was stage 4, then chemo Let’s just say the year 2023 was very hard for me.

@Markinator Thank you. I am taking it one day at a time, and trying to stay caught up with things.

@Markinator I’m in better shape overall now than last year. I would get winded if I stood on my feet for 15 minutes or less doing chores and have to sit or lay down. I walked 8 blocks this morning, a little tired but I was OK. Probably could have done a mile but didn’t want to get too far from home.
