Monday was a big chemo day, and it hit me last night. I wouldn’t say it hit me like a ton of bricks, but maybe hit me like a horse? Or a piano? In any case, the wind-down started in the afternoon and by dinnertime I was cooked. Chris sent me to bed with a book, and then took care of dishes, helped Elsa with homework, and got the girls into bed. This after shopping and cooking dinner. Best. Husband. Ever. (Thanks Susie!).
Fortunately, my friend Heidi stopped by yesterday with a well-timed gift of chocolate, from the company she works for, Chocolatl. There is plenty of conflicting information out there about the right diet to follow when you have cancer. One of the few foods people seem to agree on as beneficial is dark chocolate—and by dark, I mean really dark (65-70%), with a serious dose of cacao beans (not sugar!).
Chocolatl is an amazing company that creates amazing chocolate—you can check out their website to learn more about them, but suffice it to say, they are doing everything right, including creating a rocking piece of chocolate.
Between the good sleep I got last night, and the chocolate, I felt good enough to go the gym this morning. All is well!
