Well, I have only one more Chemotherapy treatment to go - July 16th. Yesterday's Chemo went well, basically pain free (except for the multiple needles to find a decent vein). My drug dose was dropped to a 75% level. My previous side effects of severe leg and nerve pain, yeast infections (thrush) open mouth sores and virtually no white blood cells (neupenia). I have be given Gabalentin to help me through this next round - it should keep the nerve pain down but I don't care I have a huge jar of Oxycodone (an amazing pain killer). So all in all it should be easier to handle. I am going to hide away for a few weeks just to be careful not to end up back into the hospital but the I could up there anyways - possible but not deterring.
I just met with my potential house cleaner. This is exciting and scary at the same time. Any hints on maid handling - anyone?
It is crazy but as I write this I can feel the pain creep into my calves and feet and the heart burn is ever present today. It is a total drag because the medicines I need to take can't be mixed with Calcium, magnesium etc etc products that are in heartburn medications. Pill juggling is quite trying at times. I purchased a new phone "Jack" Samsung's version of the Blackberry, and I am able to setup reminders that help very much. Once I get back to work I will use my Jack to it's fuller potential. But I am not thinking of work - I know it will be there when I am done this journey.
