I am gaining strength daily as I begin to shake off the effects of Chemo Therapy. I notice the chem taste in my mouth lessening. I have more clarity of mind and more bounce in my step! :)
I am aware I still fatigue easily, and if I don't drink at least 2 qts of water (more is better) then I get that taste in my mouth and tired quickly.
My muscles lack stamina and strength. When I exercise I find that my heart rate goes up really fast. Physical Therapy tells me to keep it at 50%... but that is hard to do. I get on the Curves machines and my mind wants to go at my usual pace. Gotta sloooow down. This is all part of the damage the chemicals do to the cells in the body. They will come back and I will be back to my old self in the near future. I am hoping that by continuing to exercise in some form I will be able to speed up the healing process.
I continue to praise God for his graciousness to me. He protected me from nausea, vomiting, sores in my mouth and out of control infections. I thank you for your prayers and encouragement.
