April 2, 2026

To say that the last couple days has been a nightmare would be to say it way too nicely.

Who knew that the lack of platelets can cause so much more issues inside your body.. Well, maybe you did, but I did not.

The emotional rollercoaster I have been on for the last couple days has been a nightmare.  NO reason, NO rhyme. Just crying at the drop of a dime for no reason.

I thought I knew exhaustion before, chemo really kicks your butt in the dirt. But, when your platelets get as low as mine are you feel like you have the flu without the pain and without the fever. JUST Exhausted. Complete body weakeness, complete lack of energy. Had to have hubby help me walk to the bathroom as my legs were so weak I couldn't keep them from buckling under me.

I have gotten cought up on a few TV shows though.

Haven't had the energy to write on any of the books I've been working on. I tried to work on the new Easter Coloring books, but even that was too exhausting and took too much energy.

I have had a consistent minor migraine since monday. It hasn't let up yet. Hoping it will calm down over the next day or so.

SSI / Disability update:

Yesterday, Social Security office called to verify the job I had before Cancer hit. You know, the one that I worked, laying in bed, listening to phone messages (at most 12 messages over 3 days) typed them out and emailed them to the boss. My job took no longer than 30 minutes in a day and I only worked every 3rd day for $135 a week.  I didn't get a good feeling about the call. I have a feeling we are going to have to fight it to get it. I already qualified for the SSI, but lost it because I got married. Had no insurance for 2 years, meanwhile cancer was ravaging my ovaries.  Only got $400 a month from SSI when I did get it, and was told by the Social Security lady that I needed to get a part time job to finish earning my points in order to qualify for full disabilty pay. Well, I feel that is backfiring on me.  Anyway. We shall see and I will update as soon as I know anything.

For now. I will write more in a couple days.
