I was lucky enough to have a 3 day weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather we were having here. I started MTX (methotrexate) back in May, and it's been consistently followed by 2 sick days where I am sore and nauseous. I don't know if I caught a break this weekend, or if the side effects are getting better the longer I'm on it, but I actually went out on Saturday (after taking my medication Friday night).
I don't typically go out much on the weekends now because of my meds, which is a huge bummer believe me. It is however a lot better than feeling sick for days at work. When I woke up feeling miraculously not like I wanted to throw up I decided to go to the zoo!
It was a gorgeous day. We finally had a few days with little to no humidity for the first time in weeks. It's been a miserable summer. I walked the hills, I saw all the exhibits I wanted to see, and I got what I think are some really good pictures. I was even able to eat! I had pizza and ice cream. I paid for it on Sunday being a little sore (and sunburned, oops) but it was definitely worth it. The only part of the weekend I regret is eating way to much yummy food yesterday, I'm trying to lose weight but it was so good!
