I've not blogged for a few days mainly because I was too busy being miserable. This chemo got to me. I was hurting pretty bad - muscles and bones just hurt and wouldn't stop. Finally, yesterday that was pretty much gone, and then I was acid stomachy again. But still, MUCH less pain.
My poor sister had to put up with me being pretty cranky. I was so glad she was here though. Just being able to not HAVE to get up for a glass of water is a real treat. She did more than that, of course. She fixed meals, reminded me to take a pain pill BEFORE I was miserable, got me treats, watched TV with me and laughed at stuff which helped ME laugh at stuff. A
"very nice thing".Today I'm quite good. JB left this morning and I went to work. A bit achey, but wonderful compared to earlier. I found that the top part of my arm feels bruised or sore, and a bit warm. My sister and boss finally convinced me to call the Dr. office - since, duh, it's the arm they put the chemo needle in! (Would I have thought of that? I dunno!) They want to make sure I don't have an infection, of course, so I am warm compressing it tonight and will call them in the am. I guess I don't want to "complain" about anything because I want everything to be "well". I have to moderate that with some balance, I know!
The Dr office said the worst would be to have to take some antibiotics, that it wouldn't prevent my trip - that'd be wayyyyy to tuff to cancel!!!
So, I'm still planning to leave Saturday morning - I can't wait! This cancer stuff really shows you how much you can miss your family!
Hugs to all,
Patti
