But this is why I got the flu shot

Wednesday morning woke up and bonus, no nausea! Energy level was good and headed to work. Worked a full day and then had the seemingly benign Nuelesta (White Blood Cell Booster Shot). It burned like heck going in, but dissipated quite quickly after was complete. Sat for 30 minutes and had no reaction, so far so good.

Thursday woke up felt ok. Still no nausea, but not with the greatest energy level. Went to work and during the day bam, felt like I had the flu. Muscles and bones aching and I was tired. Tired. Muscled through the rest of the day and started to feel better after dinner (food is key here).

Other item on the list for Thursday was the step down haircut. Now, lets be honest, I have never been very hair fashion forward, but I think having all of your hair cut off can be a little daunting. Fortunately, a good family friend (who cuts my mother's hair) was kind enough to take on this assignment (and I think was happy to be able to break out her razor). Let me tell you, she gave me a pretty great French Pixie [of course this is what I am told because I wouldn't have any idea beyond really short]. I am loving and rocking my new short do for the next 10 or so days that I will have it.

I was pretty tired after my haircut and WBC booster shot Thursday, came home and went to bed. Woke up this morning feeling pretty darn normal. Sometimes 10 hours of sleep is all you need. No major side effects. Slight taste changes, water is getting a little metallic-y but still eating well. Happy it's the weekend and I made it.

  1. Glad to hear you're doing (relatively) well! Thinking of you often...and these thoughts are accompanied by the Rocky soundtrack. Mine was the theme from Mission Impossible...don't know why. Anyway, loving the updates and they're helping me through my own mess - you go girl!
