I've titled this post exhausted because I just might be a bit exhausted... haha. Monday morning I thought I was going to faint at the start of the shift; I toughed it out. I was pretty out of it throughout the day, but tried hard to keep my eyes open and my brain running ha. I came back to the dorm that day and just crashed. I changed into basketball shorts and a tee shirt immediately and climbed into my bunk bed. Rachel, another girl in my room got back at the same time I did and followed my lead. After about half an hour, Alyssa came home and turned off the lights and climbed into bed too. Soon after that Amy came home and did the same. So by 6 pm, all four of us girls were in bed; lights out!
We slept for about 3 hours.
It was the best 3 hrs of my life, at least that's what it seemed like at the time. I really needed sleep that day.
Tuesday was much better, we followed the hospice home care nurses around. Instead of staying at the hospital all day, we got to drive to the patients' homes. It was good to get out and see the different homes. Although I do think I was a bit dehydrated because I was feeling very very drained during the day. It was really hot out. KAY enough with the complaints! other than the fact that I was fatigued for the past two days, I am pleased to say that today went much much better! I had a great day. I had energy. It was a good day. We followed chemotherapy nurses and learned about chemotherapy.
Tomorrow we go to Hualien. It is 6 hrs away. I have a book report to finish between now and monday. I will probably be reading my book, The Joy Luck Club, on the train to Hualien. woohooo!
