I am having a hard time moving today. Not in pain or anything, just a sad day. I am crying easy.
My partner is scared of me and started sleeping in the other room. He thinks he might accidently roll over on me at night. My first treatment, he left to put new front tires on my car while I was dozing. Typically guy to the core. Can't fix it and is fixing what he can.

{{{{{Debby}}}}} you are not alone, dear one. one thing i can say from experience is that it's ok to just plop into a pile of mush after chemo. cry, sleep, snuggle...whatever your body intrinsically tells you it needs - listen and give. and don't forget to put a hand on your heart and tell yourself how much you love YOU. this is your one beautiful life and there are times you/we have to fight like hell for it!!
