Journal entry by Leigh Szablewski —
So it’s official done with round 1!!! I did very well in the hospital which is not what I was expecting. I had a wonderful set of nurses looking out for me. Never got nauseous just tired. I can’t believe I made it through 3 nights. I can’t imagine a month 😬 I’m resting at home still very tired and achy. It hurts to touch my face and neck. The chemo is breaking down the bad cells everywhere just not next to my ear. The first week is the toughest because I have no energy and get tired even going to the bathroom. So yes to all you that like to yell at me I’m not doing anything just laying on the couch or in bed. Letting everyone help around me. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate the meals being dropped off, the cards and gift cards from families at school, the shower of spiritual gifts. It truly is amazing and so thoughtful❤️❤️❤️ The community around us is helping us through this. We know we’re not alone and that’s helping me not worry about the kids and focus on getting better. I say to my kids everyday do something nice for someone and it will come back to you. A little bit goes along way, but nothing is ever too little. 😘😇🙏 Still #szablewskistrong💚
