So it is 3:30 in the morning and once again the 50mg of Benadryl IV made me soooo sleepy during the day that I am now u upright in the night! I loaded the dishwasher that no one else seemed to get to and fed the dogs. The dogs are going to be off a little today also.
I did have my 6th treatment yesterday at 10 am and good friend Faith was my co-pilot for this one. She did great and kept me company and the time seemed to fly by, thank goodness. She treated me to a delicious tuna subway sammie with tons of veggies, on whole wheat of course. We chatted and did some much needed catching up on our lives and gossip. It was nice to hang out with her. After the treatment, which by the way, went smoothly, she took me home in a hurry so I wouldn't miss taking Curtis to his Dr. appt. for his back. Yep, home at 2:45, in the car at 2:50, and off we went. Curtis drove as I dozed off and on for the short 10 minute jaunt. No cracks in back but he does have a deep bruise to the left lower back where he fell on a flower pot! Physical therapy to help release this huge knot and we are good! Rachel is next on Friday for her shoulder, wish us luck!
So, earlier last week I saw my plastic surgeon. He was pleased with is work as usual. He and I chatted as I was looking at my cell phone for dates, last treatment dates that is. I informed him of my last chemo and what is to be my last radiation, so we could coordinate the surgery. He very matter of fact told me that he wouldn't be touching me until after the new year! What!@#$*? I was mad. He said that he wants to give my skin a chance to heal and stretch after radiation, so , that is what we are doing. However, my oncologist said yesterday, that I can have my prot out any time after my last chemo treatment! These words were magical to me as I hate, hate, hate this item in my chest! Hate it! My English nurse was able to access it yesterday, with a bit of difficulty, but IO didn't feel it because she numbed it up for me; nice!
Ok, I am going to go and watch a movie, yes I am really, and then by the time it is over, the kids and Pual will be getting up to start their days!
God Bless,
Kathy
