good morning
Good morning everyone. I am still not 100% but I feel better than yesterday. I must remember even though I feel better I should not jump up and say "lets go traveling" or "i am going to the DMV for the day".(not having a running car helps but that should be hopefully taken care of this week, we will see.)... no bad thoughts...no bad thoughts. I am trying to keep positive thoughts but sometimes it is hard. Please bear with me for a while.

Hi Missy Valerie :D
The being awake all night long and the crying for no reason at all ... these are side effects of the steriods. Bear with them. They are temporary side effects.
The bizzare orientation the day of chemo was most likely a combination of NO SLEEP, Steroids, benadryl, the medication to remedy the benadryl . . . You were just flying up there with the Jet Planes Sweetheart. :D
The 'bad thoughts' acknowledge that they are coming. What you resist PERSISTS. So, what I have learned to do is something like this, "Hello, I hear what your concerns are. I realize these are concerns. Thank you for caring and pointing them out to me. I am aware and I have dealt with these concerns. No need to continue to bring them up. Thanks again for caring. Bye now. "
I know it sounds hocky, but it helps me to release the counterproductive thoughts. Also, as I am saying this, I imagine the concerns are being placed in a balloon and they just float away. Someone taught me these techniques many years ago.
Be gentle and kind to yourself. You are doing a wonderful job, fighting this Valerie. Stay strong, we are all with you.
Remission is just around the corner.
I want to go to the races! That sounds like alot of fun.
Take care Valerie.
