The day got started really early with a couple of rounds of intense nausea and vomiting that were pretty scary and caught me off guard, but we responded swiftly with some different anti-nausea medication. That, plus some really low blood pressure knocked me out pretty hard for a few hours, but after about 11:00 AM I have been rallying and feeling good. Took a shower, popped in to a few minutes of a church staff Zoom meeting (good to see y'all!), sorted some mail (loved the cards, y'all!) and had some hangout time with my mom. It was the girls' last day of school and I loved getting to see some pics of them living it up at Field Day. Then, they came by for a short visit this afternoon, too. So I loved getting some snuggles from them and seeing my in-laws one last time before they head back to Georgia tomorrow.
For much of the day I was on fluid limits because, in addition to my incredibly strong and amazing bones, I also have HIGHLY effective and efficient kidneys. I'm not trying to brag because I'm the one locked up here in the hospital with chemotherapy coursing through my body, but it sure sounds like to me that mostly my body parts are very impressive. Strong Bones, Young Healthy Kidneys......They were giving me a lot of fluid and I was also drinking quite a lot and those kidneys were working so hard, we wanted to chill out some. But that's kind of regulated too, and now I'm not restricted on fluids and I feel like with the nausea and vomiting managed I can have some good stretches here ahead!
Don't need much more of an update tonight except to say I'm overwhelmed by the love and support. It's truly an embarrassment of riches. Stay tuned for more updates tomorrow....

Love and prayers.
