Back to Work Too Soon

This session has been interesting. The "low" of the session has not been as low as previous sessions, meaning that while I have still had the nausea and fatigue, it hasn't been as bad as previous sessions, but has seemed to linger longer. Let's put it this way: In past sessions, on a scale of 1 (one step from death) to 10 (ready to run a marathon), I've been typically a 2 the first day or two after a treatment, and then slowly chip up to a 6 or an 7 by day four. However, this time, I feel like I've been a 3 or 4 non-stop since Thursday. It's been weird. I hope I'm feeling better tomorrow.

I did try to go into work today. I had my usual trouble getting out of bed, but I was able to get into the office by 9:30 or so. I probably shouldn't have. I felt like crap the entire time I was there, and though it was great to see everyone from the office, I couldn't focus and just wasn't able to get the job done. I finally waived the white flag around 1:30 and headed home. I napped for a couple of hours, but still didn't feel better and had to bail on the Fever game (The Tri-City Fever are a minor-league Arena Football League team) that a bunch of us were going to go to. I did get a little bit of work in in the evening, and played a little bit of poker for the first time since Tuesday. But I still felt pretty awful, and climbed back into bed around 8:30.
