Velcade Saturdays

Weight:  227 lbs.
Whew. Where have I been? This is one lost day. Got up this morning (5 a.m.!) and ate relatively heartily: couple poached eggs, couple strips organic bacon, a half cinnamon raisin bagel, and some organic strawberries and blueberries. Oh yeah: 3  prunes, bien sur. I ironed a few clothes, read the electronic version of the SLC Trib and was back in bed by 8 a.m.! I was exhausted. Slept another hour and didn't even hear Jan leave to do errands. Then I read and did some crosswords until noon, ate some lunch and went back to bed for another hour and a half. This is eerily similar to what happened at the end of the first chemo week. The Velcade continues to work its destruction for a number of days. I recall during Round 1 not feeling totally back until the following Monday. And, this afternoon, the dreams! I had a long visit with an old, dear Canadian friend whom I haven't seen in 50 years. This is what appears to happen when the prednisone wears off and the Velcade is hanging around. Get used to it sucker!
