Ugh, Thursdays

Thursdays of the chemo weeks continue to suck.  A host of minor symptoms gang up to slow me down.

Also, I slept like crap last night.  And either my IV wasn't properly secured or I rolled over it too much but it left the vein, so they pricked me again with just a butterfly today.  This means I have to keep my arm still, limit my standing up and down and type one handed.  And get another prick tomorrow.  These are a bunch of thing I was hoping to avoid.  Oh well, I'm almost halfway done; day nine of 20.

The good news is that my mom and dad came today to watch my son so Renee is with me while my daughter is at pre-school.  For the earlier days of this week I had been driving myself because I decided I wanted try to be a bit more indepedant, and it worked out great.  Today I'm glad not to have to.

I have to remember that no matter how I feel, my tumor is having a much worse day!

  3. If I could just have a word or two with your tumor I would tell it (not very politely) that it stands no chance because it's messing with the wrong dude!

    p.s. tell your mom and dad I said hello :)
