When you are on the chemotherapy roller coaster, you lose time. With each 3-week cycle I begin with a weekend of sleep. So much sleep you think I’d go insane but, I’m so tired and my body so needs it, that I simply rest as I need to. I can tell when I’m starting to feel better because I begin to get fussy and fidgety about being stuck sleeping the days away. After my 4th treatment I lost most of Saturday, Sunday and half of Monday. Time flies when you are going through chemo.

Thing is, I’m also missing things. Missing all of the birthday parties my daughter has been invited to. Her T-ball practices. I miss my small but growing social life. I know. It will all come back but really what I miss is hanging out with my daughter and seeing her enjoy each of her activities. I used to be the main “birthday parent” but now, that’s all changed and I’m the parent that everyone hears about but no one sees. It’ll be nice to be back for all of the events. I miss taking pictures of her at all of the events- sharing them on FB with friends and family. Documenting her life as she gets older. That’s something I like to do. There’s just a bit of a hole in my archives for now. I’ll have to learn to deal…..
