Well yesterday (friday) i had my second chemo treatment. which is good since tuesday i did the labwork and saw the dr and was told my WBC (white blood cells) was too low to have chemo. so they gave me a shot that made my bones increase their production of WBC which caused my whole entire body to hurt the next day. my knees hurt, back hurt, just everything hurt.
we came down after chemo friday to Steve and Vics place to visit the relatives. i figured if i am going to feel sick and stuff, i might as well do it in Chatt where i can sleep and amy can see those she misses. but thanks to some of the new drugs they gave me its not as bad as the last chemo i recieved. i still feel naseuated but its not as intense.
during the nite sometime i awoke to find myself in midair. i guess somewhere in my dreams i dreamt of jumping off a cliff or some crazy thing. well anyway after my knee hit the bed support and i hit the wonderful carpet i realized where i was and that was on the floor next to the bed. crazy experience seeings i think thats the only time in my life i have ever fallen outta bed (doh never mind ifell outta bed once in college while i was trying to smack my roomate on the bottom bunk for kicking me through the mattress and since i was in my sleeping bag, which is very slick, i slid off the top bunk and landed on my back on his chair at his desk which thusly turned over causing me to hit the floor in a crumpled mess). so i guess thats at least the second time i have fallen outta bed.
today (Saturday) we went to the second sevice of the 3rd (church service down here in Chatt which we enjoy) and then Amy and i headed over the Nana and Bampis for a wonderful lunch (*waves at Nana and Bampi*). amy proceded to go and see a friend so i grabbed a WONDERFUL 1.5 hour nap on Nanas guest bed! then we went to eat dinner with Steve and Vic at Cancun Mexican Restaraunt. unfortunately the chemo knocks out my taste buds for a couple days so i couldn’t really taste my cheese sauce covered bean burrito but i ate it all anyway and lots of chips just to make sure i get the full after affect! (ask Vic about it… she loved walking through that by product in the garage!)
so as i sit here typing i am reminded of my day (and wow that is some stinky stuff) and smile knowing i spent the day as best i could under the circumstances. gotta love having fam around to get pitty from when feeling sick now in a few days i can hit amys other side of the fam up in St. Thomas for some pitty watch out ST. Thomas here i come!!!
bye all have a happy Sat night!
