Well, I must say that I have breezed through the first round of chemo with the greatest of ease; not so much iwth the second agent Taxol. Now, it is not that bad but on Thirsday after chemo, my lower legs ached so bad I could hardly walk! I ended up having to take some pain pills, as the Dr. recommended, to get to sleep. So, all and all, Thursday and Friday were bad days, however, the rest of it was fine! I will only focus on the good days from now on!
I do have to avoid crowds and monitor my outings as this chemo suppresses my bone marrow and will make me more suseptible to catching germs; yuck! Those of you who are fortunate to know me all to well, already know that I am somewhat of a germaphobe! Shocking I know! I had to go this morning to get a CBC; complete blood count, to make sure that I am not to suppressed. I of course, avoided everyone in the waiting room and went very early as to avoid the afternoon crowds, crazy lady here! So I will call Dr. Meyer office later today to make sure I am ok, well, lab wise that is!
This week I am trying to tie up a few loose ends and get a little done around the house. Painting is on the agenda, but I think I am going to call up a friend and see if he can come by and give me an estimate. I need the kitchen and the downstairs bath painted stat!
OK, I must go as a freind from Cincy is on her wway and I look a wreck!
God Bless!
