I will be very up front right now. I feel miserable. Wether it is the flu or possible food poisoning I don't know but starting yesterday late afternoon through late this afternoon the nausea has been coming in waves. :(. I ended up leaving work only a half an hour after getting there it got so bad again.
When i got home I ended up curling up in bed crying because all I could do was remember being sick after chemo and how very long that stretched out and horrible that felt. It felt like I was back there again. It took a while to stop crying and that didn't help the nausea. I think flashbacks are some of the hardest things to deal with these days. Fortunately they are not often but when they come, the last thing I want is to be alone.
So I curled up again and turned on Netflix. I dozed through many episodes of Gilmore Girls and then dozed through several episodes of Black Dawg Salvage or something like that. And I didn't care that I missed it all, it just helped me push those memories away hearing voices that almost always had a happy tome to them. It made my mind go somewhere other than those memories.
Now the nausea is gone but I still feel completely worn out and exhausted. Which is yet another memory I don't want to dwell on for now so I think I shall be returning to dozing through a show for the evening. But thank you Netflix for taking me out of myself and giving me something to smile about today.:)
After 15 years of trying to finish my undergrad, I spent the week before finals in and out of the ER. During finals I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. I graduated Magna Cum Laude the next weekend from Western Michigan University. I am now blogging about my experiences of fighting cancer & living life after in hopes of being able to help others.

Feeling Good!
