Chemo #7

Today:

- up at 6:15, drove J~ to the bus

- off to the gym: 4000 yards in the pool. Feeling surprisingly great. Wished I had time for another 1000. And I never, not even pre-cancer, swim more than 4000.

- Home and food

- Dog walk in the woods (short one, running out of time)

- Pack a lunch, off to Hartford to pick up J~, next stop: cancer center

- stuck with needles 5 times (once for blood tests, four tries for chemo - apparently I shouldn't swim so much before chemo, or at least I need to hydrate a lot more).

- Home again, on the couch all evening.

- On the agenda now: this blog post, start movie files rendering so that I can edit tomorrow (it will take all night) , brush my teeth, kiss my husband, maybe read a little Lance Armstrong Every Second Counts, sleep.

J~ just asked me, "Do you think the Benadryl is wearing off and the steroids are kicking in now?"
