The Vampire Life

The first couple days post-chemo haven't been too bad. I'm a little achy and a WHOLE lot of tired! But that could be mostly because of NO SLEEP! Gotta love those Steroids! My body is tired but my brain just doesn't shut off. It's kinda like I'm embracing the Vampire Life except without the blood drinking. LOL Although I am downing the liquids like they are going out of style so perhaps I'm more vampire than I thought. ;)
A few other things to note:
* I haven't lost my appetite at all which is great but I constantly have a dry cotton-y feeling in my mouth. Gross! Even with all I'm drinking I can't get it wet enough. It's actually causing me to feel like I have a bit of a sore throat. Arggg!
* The most soreness I feel is in my mid-back and in my Gluteus Maximus. LOL! I didn't even know I had that many cells for the Chemo to kill in that area. LOL It's just like a dull achy feeling that's more irritating than anything. I'll take that over vomiting anytime though.
* The steroid should be out my system soon.  I am a little worried about the days ahead but we'll just hope for the best. Hopefully I'll finally get to sleep a bit and just take it easy! Oh yah- and be able to ParTay for my birthday! That would be a good thing!

UPDATE:
Day 4- 5: So I am living the Vampire Life WAY more than I intended! I have read/talked to several people that have had chemo before and they say it feels a little like being run over by a truck. Well... for those of us Twilight Fans that have seen Bella tranform into a Vampire in Breaking Dawn: Part One-- you know the part where all her cells start burning from the inside out- well with my first hand experience in mind, that's what I imagine being "run over by a truck" feels like. We always knew I had a "sparkly" personality just not to this extent! LOL
