Cancer Class

Today Laurie and I went to Memorial for Class on Chemo. We found out all kinds of things that might happen, but we aren't gonna talk about that. One of the important things we noticed on the list is no drinking. This is not good. There is no place on any of these forms that say not to smoke, but it does say that you cannot drink. Man o man.....that means all the holidays I'll have to be sober! Lol. Laurie said that the not smoking should be understood. I said they should tell you or write it down somewhere. Well I will try and I repeat try to stop smoking when I start the chemo. Greg is going to quit also. Wish us luck. (I bet he will still drink his beer. He will be banned to downstairs.)

We also found out that I have to get the tooth fixed before they will start my chemo. So we are in a scramble to get an appointment with the Dentist. They want to start the chemo this week. We got to tour the room they give the Chemo in. You get a lounge chair and your own tv. (I guess not cocktail. dam) But Laurie will not be able to sit with me in this room its for us special people only. ... all you non cancer people must wait out side and share a tv. I think they have treats, drinks (juice and water) and snacks. Can't wait to see if they have any good stuff.

I have packed a bag for my chemo visits. My friends from work brought me a big basket full of goodies. So I have put them in a bag to take with me. I have a blanket, books, lotion, puzzle books and magazines. Jake is going to lend me his ipod as well so I just might have to sing to my neighbors so they will not be bored. You know I must entertain myself. I will have my cell phone and will be able to text. So for now I think I'm ready.

I'll write again soon. This blog was created by Laurie you know my bff! She sure has been good to me. It's like we are going thru this together. She got mad at one of the nurses today. I had to hold her back. This young girl had a attitude and blondie did not like it one bit. Next time queen I'll let you slap her. Love you girl! We both will be writing and she has some pictures to put on here when she figures out how to do it. We both are so spiffy on technology it might take a while for the pics to show up. Lol...

I do want to say thanks for all the Prayers.... God has been good to me. I am very fortunate to have the family and friends the I have. Keep the prayers coming.

nite nite.
