Bad Days, Dehydration

Been feeling pretty cruddy this week...the last couple days have been worse. When I'm really not feeling good it's hard to do anything, including drink water like I'm supposed to. This isn't helpful for my body.  Last night I took a shower and as I was getting out, I passed out. I fell to the floor and came within inches of hitting my head on the baseboard heater. I came to, and Mindy helped me to the bed, etc.

I had a follow up appointment this morning, and they indicated that the passing out was probably due to being dehydrated. So I've been here at the CCNW clinic all morning getting a couple of liters of IV fluid. Blood counts are good today, which is positive.

The experience of being here in the Chemo Suite, after I was supposedly done with treatment, was mentally and emotionally difficult.

Looking forward to the cruddy days waning and starting to feel better and stronger.
