Great Wolf Lodge
For Nathans birthday/spring break Shawn had booked Great Wolf Lodge. Since all I had yesterday was a trace dose the doctor said I could go with no precautions. Im not going to swim at all. I'm actually staying in bed. I can't even move. I walked down the hall last night to watch the boys through the window, but then I had to rest for an hour before I could walk back. I relate the feeling to being 9 months pregnant at Disneyland, lol. So today I feel even worse. It's ok, i know I'm going to be the worst at treatment. It's the plan. Prior to this I prepared some low iodine food to bring. This was a big concern for me because there isn't a grocery store close by. I made mini meatloaves, baked potatoes, chicken and salsa. But now all I want to eat is fresh fruit. Shawn was able to smuggle some fresh cut pineapple, watermelon, honeydew, grapes and cantaloupe out of the all you can eat buffet. I was in Heaven! The boys brought friends with them and I'm a little emberassed that I cant even hardly get out of bed. I think they are all aware that I'm sick, but it's just not like me! I love to be out there swimming with them, laughing, having fun! Can I just say this really sucks!! It's a good thing I did bring the food I did, because I eventually ended up eating it and sharing it with everyone else *lol*. Isn't it funny how everyone want's "your" food when you go on a special diet? Especially when it costs 4X as much as theirs! I'm going to have to do a special post on the food and the diet and share some of the food I ended up eating. It wasn't so bad. So stay tuned for that post!

The fatigue sounds terrible, Ronda. Have you actually had your radiation yet? I'm assuming yes? I'm sorry you're feeling this way so close to your birthday and it's definitely not a fun way to spend a trip at Great Wolf Lodge. Love you. <3
ReplyDeleteI love how you are able to say it like it is, but yet keep such a positive attitude. You are an example to all of us! Good luck with the Big R on Monday!
