December 27, 2014 - It's been a month and 2 days

When I said earlier that the journey is just beginning - how true that is.  
So many things go through my mind and I want to place blame on something - just not sure what.  
Is it the disease, is it the medicine, is it just me - wow!  where do I start.
The medicines are wrecking havoc on me - whatever the side effects I have the opposite.  If it a side effect is energy - I sleep, if a side effect is sleeping - I am awake.  The last three days I took the chemo in the morning and fell asleep and was up to all hours of the night.  
I close my eyes and I am hallucinate - I am afraid I won't wake up.

This is a process.  

Today I was up very early and got myself dressed and went out by myself - a simple trip to Walmart that last 2 1/2 hours - I walked around by myself in solitude and just looked.  Of course, I did buy somethings but I was by myself with my own thoughts.  One minute I was fine - the next I was in tears.  
Then I went to get me some bagels - the one thing that seems to help me and I am able to keep down - came home, ate my bagel and then fell asleep for 3 hours.  I'm glad I slept a little but what will that do me tonight.  Who knows.  
The rest of the day I sat here read my cookbook, read Facebook, played games and sat.  I had so many things I wanted to do but nothing got done - there is always tomorrow.  

Today was a painful day - I figured out why - my patch needed to be changed - which will help for a few hours - my back already is not hurting and that will last consistently for a bit.  More pain meds tonight and maybe some more sleep.

Will keep you posted - follow my journey.  I am hoping it brings peace to me and to others.
