first treatment done - heading to #2

Patti wrote some on the blog yesterday about what went on and she wanted me to write more today. The treatments take about two hours total. I had a tension headache when I went there yesterday because of my being worried. Little did I know that would be the least of my body aches. They gave me a quilt when I started the treatments as they said I would get cold, and boy did I. Everything went well until we got home. I suddenly started shaking like I was in a deep freeze. I had on my clothes, plus a sweatshirt and covered with a blanket. My hands were so cold. The shakes lasted off and on for quite a while. I ate and then slept in the chair by the fire until 9:30 then went to bed. Patti took my temperature and it was 101. At 12:03 I woke up with sweat dripping down my back. The fever had broken, but then I was wide awake. That lasted until about 1. After that I slept quite well until 7:30. I got up, had a good breakfast and then headed out to get my hair cut and then to the office. I worked in the back for a little while in the wood shop but then ran out of gas. I came home, ate and now I am getting ready to leave for treatment #2. I realize more than ever why they say to eat smaller meals more often when going thru the treatments. The "wall" comes on about every 2-3 hours and you need energy to keep going. Now some of you may say why did you work. It did get rid of my headache and made me feel much better after the fact. I want to get thru the treatments without them taking away my next dream, building furniture and in a year or two, starting my lifelong dream of building houses. I give credit to God for my strength and love of woodworking. Patti and I will keep everyone updated as we can.
