My Eyes Are Ignoring Me

It's been a weird experience since my last treatment. I feel like Benadryl is still coursing through my system. My eyes want to remain closed but my body does not want to remain at rest. The taxol gives me what I can describe as pins and needles in my hands. So I am laying low and drinking all the fluids I can possibly consume during the day. I need to put on a few pounds for Thursday. So I'll go for some items that chemo hasn't talked me out of yet - Beth's beef stew with corn bread and homemade brownies. For a little while I'll have to work protein into my dreams instead of sugarplums.
