When I get unplugged on Thursday, this will be half way done. So far so good. This first three rounds have not given me the bad side effects I got 2 years ago. But just a few mild ones each time. I already noticed when I took my 4 p.m. pills, that I should have warmed the water....so when I took a pill a little while ago, I warmed the water I didn't have any problem. I also drank some protein drink, and it didn't bother me either.
Today's chemo went well, cept they couldn't get a blood return again, so they drew blood through my arm to get the results so they could do chemo, but then when I got back to the chemo area, they still couldn't get a blood return....so they had to inject something to loosen up what ever was blocking the blood return and wait about 1/2 hour...then it worked. So all went well from that point on. Rita didn't care as we started playing cribbage right away, and she won the first game, but then I won the next two, and she was ahead of me when it was time to call it quits, so I told her we could call it a win for her and that made us even 2/2. We had a lot of fun playing cards, and even though I had to couch her through the first game she remembered quickly, and form then on she played well.
Sorry I didn't have a chance to post earlier, but didn't have time this morning, and just got up from resting, after I got home at 4:45 p.m. now I have to get ready for card club this evening, and Val Knight will be picking me up at 6:45 p.m. so time is short. Hope to make it through the night well.
I did get my drugs upped to 40 mg today, and now I will also see a pain doctor next week too! They also did some extra blood work that the results won't come back till tomorrow, to see if they can figure out why I'm having so much cramping and pain in my legs. It may be a result of the simvastatin I'm taking. So hopefully all will get figured out, and I will be out of pain a lot more. I'll take a 40 mg this evening at 7 p.m. so we'll see soon. That's it for now. Love and Prayers, m
