I had a 90-min massage today and was a total puddle after! I could hardly move for a few minutes in a great way. The massage therapist spent a lot of time on my legs which have been really achy, and I think that it really helped. I have a few more massage gift certificates waiting in the wings and am going to use them after each of my last two chemo treatments.
I ran a few errands after my massage and came home to relax for a little while before going out for a friend's birthday. One of my very best friends, who is like a sister to me, turned 40 yesterday so a bunch of us went out to celebrate tonight. The plan was to go to dinner, a comedy show and then out to bars, but I was only able to join for the dinner part of that plan. I just don't have the energy to do much more and am not much for drinking right now. I know that she understood my bowing out early, but it still crushed me to not be able to participate in all of the festivities.
Hopefully she'll give me a rain check, and we can have another birthday celebration when I am feeling better. This chemo is much nicer to my stomach, but makes me a lot more fatigued than the first batch. I came home from dinner and crashed on the couch, and I am sure that the bed is not far behind.
Today was a very relaxing day, and I am grateful for the time to rest and heal.
