I woke up after a very good nights sleep. Woke around 2:30 am went to bathroom, and all day had only gone 3 times, loose bms are fewer now which is odd, but good. Woke up around 5 something rolled over but felt so relaxed I just lay for a little while but was able to go back to sleep. Finally woke up before alarm went off and was amazed at how well rested I felt. I had energy, felt rested, it was amazing to have that feeling for the first time in probably a year.
Got small breakfast, two pieces of toast and one of the protein drinks with my pills then relaxed in bed for a few playing my games and then realized I was really slimey. I had night sweats at least twice or three times so had enough energy and got my shower first before Jon did.
We got some money to do a little needful shopping.
Energy ran a little low but sat and played my games and relaxed. Jon got ready and then we headed out around 11 to do shopping. By the time we got done with Costco and then Food 4 Less I was feeling very low energy and we decided to go home and I fixed grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. It didn't taste like I expected. The soup was very sweet and I hardly put any baking soda in at all, used milk as usual, added in some dried onion and garlic powder, a little salt and that was it. Jon even noticed the soup was sweet so it wasn't my funky tastebuds. By then though, I was feeling really draggy and suddenly noticed my heart was fluttering a little. Ruh roh.
I drank some water, checked my pulse and indeed it was fluttering occasionally. Doing internal check I felt that I needed a nap and rest and it would correct itself. I was not going to run to the ED across town because Amber is busy and I can't afford another trip, by the time they would see me the symptoms would likely be even more irregular and they wouldn't catch anything. I haven't missed any of my pills at all so this was a case of me over extending myself when I thought I felt good enough.
So after sitting up in bed propped up with pillows for about an hour, I may have dozed off a bit I felt much better by the time Rocky started pestering me and laying on my stomach. Checked pulse and it was much more steady now. As I figured. Feel like I did after coming home last week but know that with the meds and eating I'll be much better tomorrow.
Rested a little more, then fixed some Ritz crackers and cheese, tasted fine, then had a craving for apples and yogurt so fixed half an apple and hope the other half will not be too brown by tomorrow morning. Tasted yummy as it should and so here I am. Checking my pulse about ever 15 minutes or so, feel like I'll get a good nights sleep and will not be quite as active tomorrow for sure.
I have an appointment with Dr Keller for March 10 and they have me on the cancellation list if a slot opens up. It's listed as a 'consultation' appointment because that's what it is. Have a tentative appointment with Moeller (oncologist) as well but they haven't gotten back to me after I replied yesterday so will see what happens next week.
So that's what's happening today, over exerted myself for sure and will have to keep on the down low unless absolutely necessary to go out. Likely by Sunday and definitely a trip to Grossmont for blood test on Tuesday. Definitely still tired right now but it's only 7 pm, waaayyy tooo early for going to bed.
Might have some more cheese and crackers.
