Chemo Brain!

Daniel and I can't stop laughing. I was kind of sleeping when Daniel came in to say good night. Dotty the white cat followed him and we were laying here talking about her and then I just sat up opened my arms wide as if I were holding something and I said "I have never been to an apple peeling place." Then Daniel said WHAT??? I said APPLE PEELING PLACE!

After laughing for a long time we realized I must have been thinking of apple picking. There is a place about 5 minutes from here and we are going to try to go tomorrow. If I can't go Uncle Anthony will take them. So I can just stay here and dream about peeling apples.

I think that is why they call it Chemo Brain!

Is it Still Friday?

I took my meds and they really make me sleep! I slept most of the day and got up a little while ago when my mom, dad and aunt came to check in. They made me get out of bed! I do find some energy to get up and eat, Something is making me hungry!

I am waiting to shave my head till Sunday, I want to see my my neice and nephew first. They are comming tomorrow. It is not falling out too badly, only when I touch it! But my surgery site is good today so one less thing to worry about!

I have a really cool skull and cross bone bandana for Halloween, so I should be set.

Feeling a little Blah today

It seems that my body waits for day three to crash from Chemo. I am a little nauseous today and just tired! Had to call the doctor, my lumpectomy site seems to have not liked the chemo. It turned red! I spoke to a nurse and she has to check with the doctor. I am hoping I don't have to go in because I do not feel like getting dressed.

Daniel stayed home from school today. I am not sure if he really does not feel well or if he is having sympathy pains. I am staying as far away as I can!

Oh yeah and if that is not enough I am loosing my hair in clumps and my scalp is hurting me. So sad I can't think of anything funny to say today! I think I will go back to sleep!

Two Down Six To Go

Went for Chemo today. It was a long process. It started by them not being able to get an accurate blood pressure reading. After four times they finally got it. Then they sent me for blood. They tried to get it though the port, but that did not work. So they tried my veins and even that was trouble. My body was just not cooperating. The nurse had to pull it out of me with a syringe.

Than everything got better. My white counts were good and the Chemo went fine. I sat there freezing and eating my Italian ice. They say that should help me not get those nasty mouth soars.

I also picked the wrong chair when I got there because apparently the man next to me was deaf. His TV was so loud I couldn't hear my TV. I thought I was at my parents house. Thank God I had my ipod and a blanket.

So over all it was good. I took my three anti nausea drugs, plus the one in the IV and now I am wasted. I did not nap today so I am exhausted! More updates to come....

Chemo Again Tomorrow

I am finally feeling really good (not great, but good) and they are going to Zap me again tomorrow. I am not happy! I guess if I just sleep again for three days after it won't be so bad. By then my hair will be falling out so I will really have something to bitch about. But that is what I have all of you for; my wonderful friends and family tho listen to my complaining. If I haven't mentioned it, thanks for the support.
