Its been a hell of a week, but I think tonight, I am starting to feel like I might get over these chemo effects.
It all started on the 3 day weekend. My arm went numb, and my hand swelled up. So, off to the doctor AGAIN, and they determine that I have a clot in my vein, under my clavicle, that is causing the problems. My cousin Marianne arrived just in time to share the experience with me. So, after a 5 hour visit to the ER, I am now on anti-coagulents, that I have to inject myself with every evening. Of all the things I have been thru, somehow injecting myself is the worst!!!
But in spite of that, I went on Wednesday, the 23rd, and got my last Chemo!!! Glad to see the last of that place, thats for sure. I felt ok on Thursday and Friday, managed to have a nice evening out with Rachel and Marianne, dinner and the movies. Friday night Marianne made a nice dinner at home for all of us. Saturday we headed off to my favorite breakfast place, Cracker Barrel. But old Mr. Chemo managed to wreck that, as I started to feel crummy, didn't even finish my hash brown casserole! Those that have been to Cracker Barrel will understand the crime that this truly is! Marianne and Bert enjoyed a nice drive, and a visit to see some houses we wanted to visit, while I was crashed in the back seat. sunday, my birthday, was spent in bed. Bless Rachel for being such a helper, taking Marianne sightseeing and shopping. I got up at 2, back to bed shortly after. Today I managed to drag myself to work, but wasn't until this
evening that I actually feel better, and I have high hopes for tomorrow!!
Now maybe I can start growing some hair, and getting back to normal! Thanks to all for the cards, flowers and birthday wishes. they helped me get thru the lousy weekend.
