You could set your clock . . .

Monday and Tuesday went OK this week. I had to get all my Chemo Stuff Monday so it was a pretty full day, but I felt reasonably not bad both days. Wednesday started out that same way but, like clock work, about 2:00 Wednesday afternoon the drugs kicked in and I started feeling like doo-doo.

I went down to my afternoon radiation treatment -- now changed to 3:45 instead of my old 5:00 time -- then came home and crashed. From 5:00 until 11:00 I was out. Jenny said she tried to wake me a few times to take my meds and go to bed, but I just kept going back to sleep. About 11:00, though, she finally succeeded. I did my normal routine to take all my drugs, take care of my teeth, and take care of the skin on my neck. But then I was out like a light again. Woke up about 3:45 and thought I was up for the night but somehow fell asleep again until Emily got up at 5:45.

Frankly I wouldn't mind sleeping away these bad days. So far I'm still awake today, though. Haven't been able to sleep this one away yet.
