Tired of being sick!

Well we made it thru round two. The shot was the worst. Pain for 3 to 4 days in the bones and muscles. Went to work yesterday, but today......I feel horrible. Woke up with another cold, upset tummy, chills......took some meds an will go back to bed. I'm not in a good mood today either. Usually I can blow it off and look at the positative. But today I'm bitchy. I don't feel good and I don't like nothing or nobody. LOL.....I want something to eat but don't feel like cooking. Poor Greg will get home in a few minutes he better hide.... Crabby ass will get him. Maybe he will go get me some breakfast if I can be sweet. Well, I m gonna try to lay down for a little while and see if that helps. See ya later.

Feeling my bones!

Ok chemo went well. Yesterday was a good day. Sue came over to babysit me. She cooked her famous crawfish pies and chicken pasta. So I frozen the pies cuz I'm not sure if I will be sharing those with my guys (I'm greedy that way when it comes to food. lol). The chicken pasta I froze half and we ate the other half. "Red" it was delish! Thank you my dear. Had a fun time with you. Well Sue and I were talking and Mignon will have babysitting duties next go round. We are trying to decide what she can make. (We haven't told her duties include cooking yet, its a suprise).

Ya'll it finally happend to me. Someone asked me why I shaved my head! I thought Sue was going to die. So the story goes: After I got my shot in Gulfport, we were coming home and stoped at Rouse's in Long Beach. We were checking out with this cute young girl. When I went to pay for my purchases I realized Greg had the debit card so I had to do the old fashion thing and write a check. She asked for my ID. I told her it won't look like me because that is when I had hair. She then replied why did you shave your head. lolololol. I was not quick enough or I would have said I was pulling a Britney Spears. I told her I have cancer and was going though chemo. She was sooooo uncomfortable. It was ok really. I laughed about it. She felt bad. Sue was ready to do battle.

My sidekick has been under the weather. Blondie you better hurry up and get well I miss you. Even though we are talking and texting, I want you to come over. Hope you feel better soon!

Becky came to visit yesterday with Sue and I. She really looks good after have a baby just a few weeks ago.

Forgot to tell ya'll, when I was doing chemo there were about three empty chairs in between me and this elderly lady. I fell asleep when I woke up she told me that I slept really good. OMG I was snoring, sawing some big logs. LOL.

Anyway, I woke up a little while ago and am starting to feel my bones ache so had to take a pain pill. It's starting to kick in. Good! Hip bones connected to my leg bone, leg bone connected to the knee bone etc....

Well ta ta for now.

Love to all.

Round Two!

Ok I'm ready for round two. Laurie will pick me up in about and hour to bring me to my second session. Nanny is going to pick me up to come home. I feel really good this morning.

This is my wish for the great chemo god! While you are in there lets fix the nasty toe nail I have. Also, the cottage cheese look on the thighs that has to go to. While your are at it fix my crooked nose. It can't get my hair this time because its all gone.HAHA.


This weekend Laurie came over and shaved the rest of my hair that was just hanging on. I looked like a dog with mange! It's sooooo much better all gone. For one this it doesn't itch any more. There was hair everywhere, on my robe, on the bed, in all the hats. It was aggravating. When I would go to bed I had to shake out the sheets. (You know like you do if sand gets in them.) Washing helps for one day. Now no hair!!!

Today is Miles' 21st birthday. Lauire will bring me then have the rest of the day to spend with her baby. She might take him to lunch. God our kids just grow up way to fast. Jake will be 18 next month.

Sue will be coming over to babysit me tomorrow! She will cook her chicken pasta and some crawfish pies. WOOO HOOO. I hope I can eat tomorrow.

I received a present yesterday from Paulette (that's Greg's cousin Chris' wife). I just love her. She is so sweet. We all use to hang out on the weekend before marriage and kids. She sent me to wonderful books. I'm bringing them with me today to read while I do my chemo. Lets see how long I stay awake today with the drugs.

I am hoping that this time is a breeze. Let's think happy thoughts. Several people said it does get a little worse each time. I will be sure to let you know. Although, I am pretty fortunate. I spoke with my to cancer buddies. One will start her chemo next week, her port is close to the middle of her chest. The other one started last week and was very sick for three or four days not being able to eat and throwing up. Man that sucks. So your friend curly here has been pretty lucky. Love you two and I hope your treatment gets better for you.

I guess I have to go take my shower. It takes about 5 minutes to get ready now. Wash off , rinse, get dress. No hair to wash and dry and fix. This is how guys get ready so fast. Just stick a hat on and your good to go. The first day i didn't know what to use to wash my hair....do I need shampoo, I dont think so. So I just my Oil of Olay body wash. I have little prickly hairs on my head which is good coz it keeps my hat in place.

I am now calling Laurie.

catch you later.

Me and the Frogs are over the Pittifuls

I'm doing much better. On cold meds and Becky came yesterday and cut my hair real short. It is still falling out. I will probably shave it this weekend. It's itchy. I told Greg when he finds a hair ball he can't blame the dog now. Lol.

Went to Burkes and found a black hat and a red one. Need to find a cute brown one. I tried my black one on for Jake last night and he told me I looked like a lesiban. OMG I tried to slap him but was laughing too hard and he is pretty quick. Kept running from me. Later Greg asked why I bought hats. I said cuz I'm really not sure about the wig it looks kinda fake. Greg said " That's because it is." Lol I told him he is not good a being a husband of a cancer patient. He should say things like you will look beautiful in the wig. He said he has not had practice being a cancer patients husband. We were both laughing.

Thank god for my too guys they sure keep me on my toes. Never know what will come out of there mouths. Tonight I asked Jake to run his fingers thru my hair. He was freaking out. Cuz when you do that hair falls out. Big ninny wouldn't touch it.

I wanted to say in the last few weeks, I found out two friends are also going thru cancer at the same time. I would ask for prayers for them as well. We all have different types and different stages. Both of this women are very strong, and great sense of humor. They also have families with kids in school. We should form a club. Since we cannot drink maybe we can take a xanax and have a bitch session or laugh what ever we feel like. I think I call them both and see if they want to get together.

Well need to go nite nite, I have work tomorrow.

Today was a good day! Lets try for two in a row.

Love and kisses.

First Midnight Crisses!!!

Well I've been having sinus issues for the last week. This weekend it has finally got into my chest. At 2:38 this morning I was awakened by a sharpe pain in my head. When I sit up it like slides down. When I cough I get a shooting pain in my head. Ok so I probably have infected sinuses or something. So I go and take a hot shower to relieve some pressure in the head. When I get out. I have "My Hair" in my hands. Ok chemo fairies this is not supose to happen on a day when you feel like shit! So what do I do I call Mom and wake her ass up. Me and the frogs on the back porch were have a pity party long distance with Glenda, I hate that she is 5 hours away. I was crying cuz i feel like shit and my hair is falling out. I am very tired and can not survive on 3 hours sleep.

So I call the Dr's office and the have the dr on call get back to me. He was not happy that I woke him up. But I am not happy that I can't lay down or my head will explode. He told me to go to the emergancy room or wait till in the morning an call my dr. Maybe I'll call him back just to piss him off. lol.

I could wake Jake up to bring me but I'm not gonna do that. He has school tomorrow. So I'll wait for Greg to get home a 8:00 am. He can bring me.

Usually, this is light and funny but today is not a good day. So I hope I don't have very many of theses. I don't like them!

Well for now, I'll go back and sit on the porch with the frogs. Catch ya later.

Spoke to soon!

Finally went back to bed at 630am. Woke up at 10:00 am and could bearly move. My hips hurt and my back and shoulders. I feel like I've been run over by a big mac truck. But it's better than throwing up!! Took a jacuzzi that helped for a little while. Laid on heating pad helps some. I'm getting out the back crack! Very Tired today.

Guess what? The laundry fairy did not come! I am very disappointed. So now I'll have to have to get mean and tell Greg and Jake that they have to do the laundry. I'll be laying on the sofa with the remote and supervise. Boy that's a change! lol.

I think Greg needs to grill some chicken breast tonight for dinner! I wonder if I have any veggies to go with that.

Got to go for now to check on veggies. I'm hungry and it's only 325 pm. I thought I might lose some weight doing chemo. If I keep eating the way I'm doing I'll gain back the 10 pounds I lost. Man that sucks. Oh well, I'm gonna eat! Greg loves me fat and all. lol.

See ya later!

False Alarm

Ok, laid down and my body said sike!!! Just tired not sleepy so I thought I would continue to write.

They said it the books that you get at the doctors office to ask for help if you need it and I really need something! Red (that's Sue Ellen) I really need some chicken pasta! Lol. Michael, Laurie's husband caught me some Lemon Fish. I must remember to pick that up or get Blondie to bring it to me. Todd will be the chef! Maybe we can have that this weekend. Grilled Lemon fish! Yum! I guess I'm hungry. I could go on and on. Uncle Russell I need some of your famous meatballs. And it's time for mom to come back because the freezer is empty. When she comes she will cook 3 or 4 meals at a time and freeze them. I'm out! Anybody out there that has a good dish you can just drop it off at the house. LOL!

So it has been two days since chemo. No hair falling out yet. Still trying to figure out what to do when that happens. I guess we will have a party and shave my head! I just can't drink, what a bummer. But I have happy pills!!!

Man the house is so quite. I think the guys need to get up and talk to me. Do you think they would be pissed if I turned the music up! HAHAHA. It's 4:20 am. I think they would kill me! Just because they have work and school does not mean I don't need them to get up and play. I need some company.

I think that I'll try to watch a litte tv and maybe fall back asleep.
