Never Underestimate The Power of 'One'

Purple Ladybug (that's me) believes in the strong power of 'ONE'...one person, one smile, one hug or ? All it takes is 'ONE' thing to happen during your day to change the way you feel, it may be amazing or even heartbreaking. We face many 'ONE's each and every day, so join me as I take my future 'ONE' day at a time and write about my journey as a cancer conquerer and the 'ONE's in my daily life.

Day 366 - 'one' piece or two?

I just can't decide.  When it comes to eating these days my choices seem to be few and far between.  Everything tastes like metal, now doesn't that sound yummy.  I can't seem to get a craving for any food in general.  Boy that sure doesn't sound like me does it?  I try to cook and either I burn it or it just tastes nasty, well I guess that's not unusual.  At least some things haven't changed.  Yeah!!!!

The last couple days it's been quite a feat for me to pull myself out of bed.  My energy level is at minus 10...
  Ray and I figure that it's either my platelets getting really low or just the combination of all the wonderful drugs going into my system.  The Dr. said that with each treatment the side effects will become more intense and my energy level will also suffer.  I am still eager to see what the results of the Aug 2nd CT scan will be, that is whether the new protocol is working or not. 

It was great today to get out for a nice walk in the woods with my daughter and her crew.  Although there we are in the middle of so-called summer and the campsite was closed due to flooding.  It is so damp that I think the crop of blackberries will just be a bunch of mush this year. 

I've been trying to think of ways to adjust my house to get me motivated and doing some creative things again.  But my brain and body just seem to be immersed in down time right now.

So as you can see, nothing exciting going on here.  I will continue to shove the food in my mouth even though nothing appeals to me, I will continue to think positive thoughts and hope that I will feel better and start to getting some things done. 

For now I'm just a slug on the pathway, a bump on the log, the ant in the anthill, the fly in the bottom of the glass...LOL.  Just kidding, but I definitely feel like the slug on the pathway! ahhhhh don't put salt on me!

It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.
