Hospital Appointment and a Nap

I had my infusion between 9 AM and Noon at the hospital. My next appointment is in 8 weeks, same time, same place. It went well, but when I finished up just before noon, I felt light-headed and tired. They always give me Tylenol and Benedryl before they start the IV. Not sure why, but I'm wondering if they aren't the reason why I was light-headed when they finished. When I got home, I sat at the computer for all of five seconds before I just went in and took a nap. I would still be sleeping but the phone woke me, and I saw I had a two-hour nap. So my lunch is cooking and hopefully it will disperse the rest of the cobwebs and get rid of this lethargy I'm feeling. Lunch is a medium zucchini, one sliced medium tomato, and one medium sliced onion. Which is now ready, so I'm going to eat while I interact with you. What news of your day? I hope it's going well. Thanks for reading.

@DianneN Yes, I know you are. Thank you. This has been a tough week for me to stay home from the pool.

I bet it is the Benadryl. They used to give it to me in an IV when I'd go in for a 4 day migraine. Since it goes right into you it made me light headed.

It could have been. The nurse last time did say it makes a person sleepy as well. I wish they didn't feel the need to give the extra medication.

I think the whole process of the treatment would make me lethargic. Do you just saute your zucchini, tomato and onion? I have all of that ready in the garden now and need to use zuchiini!

Yes, normally I would saute it in butter, but since this diet doesn't allow butter, I'm using extra virgin olive oil. It's very good.

Hope you feel in top form soon. We are keeping an eye on tropical storm Harvey - it seems too be heading for some parts of the Caribbean and Central America.

Keep safe. I'll be praying. Looks like things are going okay. I will definitely be in the pool on Monday.

I hope you are feeling better now. I might just make grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch.
