The treatment itself is no big deal, but making it through the ensuing days is like, oh, the Middle Passage? The Hebrew slaves crossing the Egyptian desert? Maybe that's an exaggeration, but you get the idea. This one was just exhausting, and possibly as much for my mother as for me. Yesterday I pretty much slept the entire day while she did my "job." Man, am I impressed that she could find her way from the school to the synagogue to the library, etc., all on her own. I think Jonah had a nice day with her, too.
Last night I started to come out of it a little. I woke up to another degree. Not fully alert and awake, but not desperately overwhelming. It ended up being fine that Jill had to work today. I took Jonah to Barb's in the morning, and while Jonah was in school I napped, then went for a 1.5 mile walk. I'm still scheduled to work tomorrow, and I think I'll make it. It's middle school, early day, I think it will be fine. If it is, what a difference that could make! I need to get back to work.
While I was typing this, Jason came into the room. Apparently my buff had fallen off, and I hadn't even noticed. He did not react to my funky looking head at all, but I realized it as soon as he saw me. I apologized and grabbed for the buff, but he was so sweet, saying it was okay, and then he gave me a hug. Jason rocks. Jonah rocks, too, even though he has told me I should wear hair everywhere we go because I look freaky if I just wear a hat or a buff. And Allison ... I don't know. That'd be a whole nother blog.
Well, I'll update tomorrow about work.

Awwwwwww, hug Jason for me....what a love! And Jonah is just as much of a love in a very different way! He keeps you laughing and I love that! I love how kids can make us feel beautiful in every light we are.
I'm sorry you've been tired..glad to hear you are napping and walking and taking good care of yourself! Love ya!
What a sweetie...kids surprise us w/ stuff like that. I'm glad you are getting through these weeks "ok", but it's nice to know that it comes in waves and you know that it will get better each time.
{{{{hugs}}}}
It doesn't suprise me that Jason was like that. He is like that,always making people feel happy in horrible situations. None of my other kids would even think to do that. He is just special in that way.
But of course Jason wrote that last comment.
