Exercising During Chemo
I feel like horse-puckey. This chemotherapy regimen is doing me in. Not only do I want to call Adriamycin the “Red Devil,” I want to call it all kinds of other names, too. Bad names. Really bad names. Cytoxan. That stuff sucks, too.
The naturopathic doctor told me to exercise every day. Today, I have been able to go from the bed to the bathroom to the couch. I wonder if that could be considered a sort of triathlon.
If you make it back to the bed, you could call it the triangle-athon. Sorry you’re not feeling so great. If I don’t see you this morning, I’ll play extra loud so you can hear me from home.
Hey, did I tell you I ran the Ragnar Relay last weekend? I think we went right by your house, but it was hard to tell in the dark.
You’re doing a whole lot better than me, Mom! -AJ
Love your writing. Consider a good laugh excercise for the day. Take care. Karen
I think when you feel like crap its exersize
Hey, you should be proud of yourself for moving! My triathlon would be: sleep, read, sleep….
Praying that you’ll soon be feeling better soon!
