We went to N's house for the annual New Years party, I had to rest in the afternoon keeping off my feet to gather enough energy to make it through midnight. The Neulesta gave its usual shiver/fever feeling late afternoon but was gone pretty quickly. The GI problems peaked and then they poofed also !
.
Ditched the wig, found a really nice scarf at home which I had for ages but never used. Wore a black dress which became a bit too revealing for my taste considering my new expanded boobs. Hopefully they will look more natural once I get the exchange, but now I could practically apply to Hooters ! Wore heels which came off of course a couple of hours into the party the slight neuropathy of the toes dont go too well with them.
.
Once there, hit the buffett since I was ravenous as usualy the food was great, I was supposed to bring my traditional fruit salad but was not able to get it done cause I was really tired and needed to save my energy for the night, I felt bad about having time to put on make up and get dressed but not having the time to cut up the fruit salad, Ferit just would not let me.
.
N had arranged for a belly dancer who pulled everyone to the floor to join her. She had also arranged for a corner in her bedroom in front of the tv that I could just escape and relax for a while when I got tired -- that worked perfectly, 2-3 times I went there kicked off the shoes and recharged and was able to rejoin the party, after all partying 5th day of the chemo is a bit overzealous but hey it worked out even though I was not able to enjoy the margharita(did not want to drink the same day I got the Neulesta shot)
.
Annddd she had gotten all the gals red underwear.. yip ! One is supposed to have a prosperous year if one wears red underwear greeting the year.. we had quite a chuckle over this !
