Day Seven Crash

I know very little of this journey has been normal for me except the fact on day seven I crash. My doctor always warns me that between the 7th and 10th day from my treatment is the time she expects me to feel the worst. My body doesn't feel any reason to wait until the 10th day, so it hits me hard right off. I instantly knew it was coming because I could tell me fever was going up.

My incision, of course, opened again last night - looks like I've been shot again. This time the fluid coming out is really bothering me - probably because I'm still feeling so nauseated. The nausea hasn't seemed to subside as quickly as my last treatments. Just when I think it's over I get another round of it. Feeling sick is the pits!!

I'm guessing I'm just anxious to start feeling well. I want life to start back to normal, or whatever normal will be for me. Every day past July 9th is one more day away from chemo.
