First things first, probably a little silly but I made Jen take a picture yesterday so I could post the not so scary "Chemo room". Everyone
was very nice. They tried to sing happy birthday to me, but I declined!
It did not hurt when they accessed my port. I had used topical
lidocaine on the port site an hour earlier. (Thanks D&T the press and
seal Saran Wrap, worked wonderfully). I was a bit drowsy with my
pre-meds (anti-nausea meds) and had a little bit of a sinus reaction
with my chemo meds. We were there about 2 1/2 hours. Left feeling
great.
Things took a turn for the worse around 2pm when I begin feeling slightly nauseous which led to
vomiting about 1 1/2 later. This was followed by 4 more episodes of vomiting and the most awful
headache I have ever experienced. This misery lasted to around 9pm when I was finally able to fall
asleep. Jen woke me up around midnight to take some more meds and I was feeling pretty good.
After that I woke up frequently, one of the meds I am taking is supposed to interrupt your sleep, it did!
I am feeling decent this morning. I am going to keep on top of my meds today and eat lots of small
meals and hope for the best.
Thanks for all the calls and text yesterday you are all amazing!
You know that "tendency to lunge" that I have whenever Jaxon or Nazz appears to be falling? I replaced that with a full night of "tendency to jump out of bed and drive wildly to Springfield" last night. Hard to control those tendencies. I know that there was nothing I could have done, but I just really wanted to be close. I'll see you Friday.
