Well, here it is again, another Tuesday, my shot day. I feel like giving
myself another shot today about as much as I feel like bobbing for fries at
McDonalds.When I inject myself on Tuesday, my Wednesdays usually suck big
time. However, the alternative is unacceptable.

At 15 shots, the day of or day after is no longer that bad. A little
bit of a rollercoaster emotionally (whee!), but not bad. It's two days
later that are difficult - so a Friday night shot means a bad Sunday
night/Monday morning.

I've started working a little this week, and was in tears this (Tuesday)
morning after a difficult 2.5 hour conference call full of posturing and
willful stupidity and arrogance. I usually can deal with that stuff but
I was so aware of my limited energy going to waste it was bad for me.

But during the call I sent email to my "allies" and we worked out a plan
to get the work done and circumvent the troublemakers so I felt better.

I'm at the point now where I seem to be unwilling to accept that I've
still got two more months to go. I should be better NOW because I am
feeling better and because I'm SO DONE with this. But I'm not, I still
have limits.

Ah well, going to a cabaret show of a friend from Boston and then out to
dinner. That should be doable.

For me there doesn't seem to be any specific days or time frames. But
I have learned that tx can change on you. It's went sour on me as of
late and I hope that this is short lived.

It did that for me too, and now I'm in a relatively-better period.

Hi John,
I'm sorry that the treatment isn't going easier. After taking my shot on
Friday, it got so that it took me 3 days to feel.
better. Thursdays and Fridays before the shot were the best time of the week
for me. Just take it one day at a time. Remember, each shot results in
"another one down, another one down, another one bites the dust."
Hugs,
Susie
