The Kicker
April 21, 2013 in Lymphoma by Jeffry Reed
So I don’t know if this is chemo sickness….but I feel weird inside.
We have all seen football. We know before the kicker goes out to score the winning kick or get the extra point he is on the sideline kicking the ball into a net.
The full force of his professional ability is used, the ball takes the full brunt yet goes nowhere. Into the net time and time again.
I feel like I want to throw up, but I can’t. It feels like it’s just being pushed into the net time after time. I want to gag, but can’t. I want to expel something from inside but nothing will come. The kicker just takes the ball and kicks it into the net time after time…….
And I’m fatigued. I’ve done nothing but sleep and eat all day and I’m tired. It’s amazing to think about being so lazy you are tired from that.
I’ve managed to get up a few times but I’m tired….It’s not anemic tired. It’s not lack of sleep tired.
It’s like somebody mopped the floor with me. My 7 year old son could take full advantage of me.
It’s not too bad…..the anti nausea medicine worked last night, it will work tonight I’m sure. Bless all the people before me that made technology available today in 2013 so those that go through chemo now can go through it easier.
hey jeff, i continue to pray for you daily and also for rita and your little boy and that they remain strong for you. YOU WILL BEAT THIS!!!
so glad to read that you are home. The “fuzzy days” will come and go, but being home makes it easier to deal with. Please let me know if I can do anything for you. You and your’s are in my prayers.!
okok–I am glad that you feel loved and all–now its time to whip this thing and get back to work as soon as possible –jk take care of yourself and don’t loose hope–love ya man
