I feel really good now, slept until 10am and woke up feeling quite OK. Even walked to the local store to buy groceries, but after making a quick lunch I felt I have to go to rest. No issues with my lungs, and except for the fatigue I feel great.
Called the hospital and they said its most likely a side effect of the MTX. I think I most likely overdid myself by going to the party and I was essentially up for 7 hours - mostly sitting but still I haven't been away from bed that long after my operation which wa in early June. They did ask me to report if something similar happens again and will notify my doc.
Just sucks since I had already told my spouse she could go out with her friend tonight and they would have had a hotel room and the time-off would have been so great for her. We did decide it might not be a good idea for her to be away for the night again, if something similar happens.
Also discussed with my spouse that I'll skip having dinners for now, and only have like lunch with friends maybe twice per week (I usually just have to go bed after lunch and some chores anyway). I have mixed feelings about that, since I so love seeing friends after being alone in the bedroom for so long - but I don't want to stress my spouse with having to deal with the children alone and I also think I need the rest in the evenings.
