1st Chemo Treatment

Ok, Tuesday morning had my goody bag packed and was ready to go when Laurie picked me up. Waited for about 20 minutes to get in to the room where they hook you up. It seemed like about 2 hours. The nursing staff was very nice and down to earth. They said o boy we have a live one who likes to play! They were very excited. I walked around the room looking for a good chair. All the people I saw was sleeping. I wanted to be by someone I could talk to and play with. So I ended up on the other side of the room by myself. The nurses hooked me up and gave me snacks and juice. I turned on the TV to watch Raymond and guess what? I feel asleep. They must knock you out. I get hooked up to five different bags of stuff. I woke on my last bag. I can tell you that when they hooked up to my port, it wasn't bad at all. I thought that it would hurt. I told Laurie if she was my "real" friend she would come in and let them stick her in the chest just so I could see if it would hurt. She told me that she didn't have a port. LOL.

When I got home I went to bed. Yesterday, Wednesday I was very sluggish and a little quezey. Just ate some crackers and was much better. It's kind of like morning sickness. Put something in your stomach and you are good to go. Greg took me to go get my shot yesterday. This is the shot that will make my white blood cells produce sooner. They said that I will have joint and muscle aches. (what's new huh!). Well it's 3:30 in the morning and I'm doing ok so far. But I'm on so much different medicine I don't know if I'm coming or going. Been if a fog since chemo.

Well I'm doing laundry since I'm awake and while i have energy. I'm hopeing the laundry fairy comes today cuz I can't walk in the laundry room. Greg and Jake had been doing really good about helping out, but I guess they must have forgot how to wash clothes over the last 3 or 4 days. I'll have to remind them.

My big day back at work will be Monday. I'm looking forward to it. I guess we will see how my energy holds out. I miss seeing my friends. Hey gang, I can't wait to "OPN" I've been entertaining my self for toooooo long. It's your turn. LOL

Getting tired! I'll post something tomorrow! It is time for me to go back nite nite! The laundry can wait.

Love and kisses.
