Wow I Slept All Day Yesterday....

When radiation kicks my butt, I sleep! And it's really starting to effect me. But nothing I can't handle. On Turkey day, it really hit me. After dinner, I went to bed at 8 pm. I never go to bed that early. Then I woke up the next morning at 6, I got up, took my meds, sat down at the computer, started to play a game, and that's all I remember.....I woke up in my computer chair and it was 8 am. I FELL ASLEEP AGAIN! And it was like that the rest of the day...I kept falling asleep at the computer (I have a really comfy chair), and my couch sitting up. Now I don't know if I told you this, but I am an expert at sleeping sitting up since my surgery, that's how i had to sleep for 2 weeks after I had my eye surgery. So I think I'm starting to have some major tiredness from the radiation, along with the nosebleeds (having those daily), and my eye is tearing constantly, BUT, I can still see really good out of my eye and no problems with my peripheral vision either--so that's good news....I can handle the side effects if they stay like this.......

As of today, I am smoke free for 1 Month!Yeah!! I don't miss the smoking, well sometimes, but I'm glad I quit.... I really am.... Have a great Day........

Congratulations on your 1 month milestone, I am so happy for you. You continue to stay tough, committed and determined because you can and will succeed in your quit. Don't be concerned with sleeping a lot ,listen to your body it wants and probably needs the rest. Stay strong with the radiation treatments, prayers are still going up for you.
