fifth infusion

October 13, 2023

I always say that a short swim is better than no swim...

This is alllllll I could find time for today....a 30-minute window after my infusion treatment...

1250 short course yards

I did need as well as enjoy it!

Still "trying" to adapt to wearing the rash guard.  I'd never ever swum wearing one before a couple of weeks ago, and I much prefer to not wear one, but my treatment has caused vitiligo (another new vocabulary word) and my skin is extremely sensitive to the sun, so......

Rash guard it is.  I'm adaptable.  I guess I'm thinking that if it feels kind of warm wearing it now, in summer, perhaps it will keep me a tad bit warmer when the pool temp drops during our "winter" months.

I was rudely awoken at about 3 a.m. I bolted to a sitting up position in my bed with the horrible taste of burning vomit in my mouth and throat....awful!!!  This is the second time in the past few weeks that this has happened.  I arranged my pillows so that I could sort of sit a bit and go back to sleep.  My head was pounding.  

When I woke again around 8 a.m., I felt as if I'd been run over by a truck.  Ow....my head hurt.

I slowly got out of bed, started to slowly unfold my body...

And I went about my day, watering my flowers and tomato plants, eating a light breakfast of Special K (pumpkin) cereal with sliced banana...

Playing with my Grand-dude....

Nice and easy....

Feeling better...more "normal"...as the day went on....

Temporary.

The effects are temporary.  I just carry on as best as I can; I know that they will subside.  If it means that there is a drug in my body that is fighting, and winning, I'm good.  

Life is good.  I'm good.  

Thank You, Jesus.
