Wednesday was a typical chemo day. Even Thursday and Friday were pretty much normal, considering they were the two days post-chemo. I was pleasantly surprised, as I had anticipated that this round of chemo might be tougher for E. since he was still battling the flu and pneumonia. All in all, it was better than expected. Things seemed status quo.
Until Friday afternoon.
Then it hit.
Energy sucking fatigue. Overwhelming exhaustion. Extreme tiredness.
Since then, he's slept more than he's been awake. He hasn't gotten out of bed much, although did make it to the couch for a couple of hours. The tv remains on (alternating between sports channels, food channels and the history channel), but he's only watched a few minutes here and there. He's slept, slept, and slept some more.
Obviously, he needs it, right? Sleep, I mean. People always say that sleep is good for healing the body. I sure hope that's the case.
Sweet dreams E.
