Last night was another sleepless night for me. My nose would not stop running and my throat just kept hurting throughout the night! I tired everything from gargling with salt water to drinking hot tea and lots of fluids. I think I might have received, in total, like three hours of sleep.
However, last night I did start my antibiotics and I'm hoping today I'll start to see some improvement. It is scary to me to think that my body is having such a hard time fighting this sinus infection. I knew before I started my chemo that my body would have a hard time fighting off infections, but I guess I didn't realize it would be this tough. It is amazing to see how the chemo drugs can just destroy your immune system so quickly. Without your white blood cells you are totally hopeless. I think for now on I will make a point of trying to avoid all situations with tons of people, so I don't get this sick again. Especially with this being the cold and flu time of the year, now might be the best time to lay low.
So today I plan on trying to get some rest and help my body recover from this infection. It will be another one of those "stay in you PJs days." Hopefully I won't get too restless, maybe I'll start another collage.
