Ready for Monday

slept most of the day. my backs still out of whack. went to the mall and CVS. got some Doans and am feeling better. I probably overdid it last week and back is just bad timing. getting old is a drag. gonna lay around the rest of the evening and tomorrow to hopefully be ready to trick or treat with the kiddos.

transformation on hold

back is killing me. It started hurting some yesterday but i didn't worry too much about it. I knew there may be some achiness. So, I suck it up and play on. Maybe a really stooooopid idea. It hurt to sit so when I went to parties I stood. I think tonight was the first time I ever left a party early. Poor Troy. He spent so long working on his costume just to have me want to leave. Came home and have been on the couch, popping a pain pill. I'm not sure if it hurts because of the WBC shot or overdoing it this week. Maybe a little both. Oh well, I may have to track down my old walker :) That thing was bad ass. Basket, handbrakes, seat.

Thanks, Mannon!! You're party was great. Next year, I promise to close it down...again :)

the transformation....bwhhahahhahaha

I have noticed my hearing and sense of smell are way more sensitive.   My super hero transformation must be in the beginning stages. I can't wait to see what will happen next....

Friday nights

Wow. Chemo is definitely taking it's toll.  I went out with friends for wings and beer. I didn't really want the beer....this must be the end...lol. That's a first.  The wings were awesome, though.

Today will be spend napping and getting finishing touches on my costume.  This is perfect napping weather :)

to fish or to sleep?

Troy was home today and wanted to go to the beach and go fishing.  Is he out of his mind? It's like 55 degrees.  So, easy choice for me. Sit inside and watch Dexter episodes.  Soon, I  may even take a hot shower and rebrush my teeth.

Last night/ this am. I did have some weird dreams.  Troy and I were in TX or someplace like TX.  Rattlesnakes were in tight balls with bone/horn on the sides. When they woke up all you could see was their reptilian eyes.  At the same time I was watching guys practice high jumping/diving. They would even have harnesses for the beginners. It was pretty fun to watch bc they were jumping off a really high plank.

I have no idea where that stuff is coming from.  The clean living I have been doing lately in clearly getting to me :)

Cat naps

My gosh. Amazing how doing nothing makes you so tired. Thank gosh for Tanya. I would have stayed in bed all day. Instead, I got up. She treated me to a mani/pedi. If you saw my feet at the beach you know how much I needed one!!! Then a little Wallywolrd time to get costume stuff. Now letting my grill cheese digest while laying on the couch in the sun. After a much deserved nap...lol...I'll help Troy with the trees. He almost took the house out yesterday. A man and a chainsaw= destruction.

6am????

WTF. I'm never up this early and not pissed about it. I guess that's one of the bonuses about not working.  I don't have to be anywhere in 2 hours. Upside, I packed Troy's lunch. This is good because if I turn into an ass later at least I can say I packed his lunch.  I have been taking advil so I don't get achy. So far so good. They tell you to do that after the WBC shot.  I am beginning to think, like Charlie Sheen...Tiger Blood...

White blood cell shot

Wet in today for my white blood cell shot. It's supposed to kick start my bone marrow to produce the WBC. No biggie. I got home and helped Troy cut down some trees and stack a little wood. What a dumbass. I over did it and am pretty tired. Another chance to play the C card wasted :) Reading my book and gonna be lazy the rest of the night. Doc also said my Potassium was low so I had to go get that too. This is the biggest pill I have ever seen. My gosh...They look more like suppositories than pills.

Yesterday was day one down!

It's weird. You feel a little sorry for yourself for weeks. Why me Blah blah...Every time the scary stuff is behind you. Until the next scary thing. Yesterday was day one of chemo and I was a little nervous. I have heard all the stories. Some make it easy and some make you wanna freak out. Can they find the porta cath and access it easily? I heard horror stories about this one.  Luckily for me, I had no problems at all. They found it right away and pain free. The drugs drained slow but worth it. I felt fine the whole time. Tanya went with me and played with me the whole time. We laughed, giggled to stories, played cards. Not  bad to spend the day.  You have to pee a lot. I guess it's the fluids.  So I got to parade around with my fancy IV. I really pimped it well. I do need to work on the layered look. Troy came in and brought Chick Fil la.   Turns out I need fashion advice more than chemo.  After about 5:15 hours, I was on the way home.  Still feeling good. I got home and took a little walk. It was a nice day after all.

I go in today for the shot that will boost my white blood cell count. I hear that this might make me feel like I have the flu but I'm not worried. I have drugs for that, too. PLus, I like to nap so that will be my excuse for napping the next few days.  I'll probably use this alot to get out of doing lame stuff.

Ok, Getting ready to get my stinky but in the shower, take a long walk and gear up for another needle poke.  To get to the finish you always have to start :)
