Day 2, Series 5 (but really 20)

Yesterday Doctor Londer related that this was my 20th round of chemo at HHH. Hopefully this is my last for a long long time. I am thinking positively in that matter. I also asked not to get Erbitux for this session as I noticed a rash developing under the seal of my colonostomy bag (Constance). He agreed, and left it off the order for the day....he also forgot to put the Zemoda (bone healing drug given once a month) on the order for the day....so luckily my nurse noticed it was missing and got the order much later in the day, actually after I had finished with the chemo I waited another 15 minutes to get it started and then another 15 minutes to get it infused. Still got home by 2 p.m. Sharyl doesn't play cribbage, but we had no problem filling the time with conversation. As I had no food in the house for breakfast I was starving by noon, and feeling kinda woozy...so Sharyl went to Broadway pizza and brought back a small Eddy's Special (basically garbage with shrimp included) really good, but after about 4 pieces I was stuffed and wooziness gone. When I got home I went to the couch and slept till 5:45 missing my 4 p.m. meds, so taking them late. I ate and continued to watch TV and slept off and on, till 9:45 when I realized I missed taking my 7 p.m. pain med and so got up and took that along with my night pills and went back to the couch. I slept on and off during the Jay Leno show and finally awoke at 2:20 still on the couch. So went to bed and slept till about 5 a.m. and then laid awake for about an hour and then back to sleep till exactly 7 a.m. My internal clock is back to working. I searched the refridge for something to eat, and came up with a bowl of blackberries and some nondairy creamer on it. Now I'm picking the seeds out of my teeth. today I don't have anything planned till 3:30 when I have Qigong at Sheila's house and then this evening from 6:30 to 8, I will be a church hosting a homeless family. This is a program that 10 churches in Anoka County are involved in, and I began volunteering about a month ago with food. That was easy I just went to Costco and got a couple of chickens and a bag of buns and brought it to the church. Never saw the families we were feeding....so tonight will be a new experience, and I am looking forward to it. I will be back there again tomorrow night as well. Prayers are really needed for the Colorado Springs people evacuated and watching homes going up in flames. Also for me and all those I have asked for prayers in the past. Lottie Virnig fell the other day and broke her arm and is in a sling. Love and Prayers, m
