Better late than never...

On my way to chemo treatment #2...I was halfway there...my cell phone rang.  It was the doctor's office calling to inform me that the power was out and they had to cancel my 8:45 appointment.  They said they would call back if and when the electricity was restored.  I went in at noon instead.  I just relaxed, read my book, and chatted with my dad.  Went well...my blood counts were excellent!   The only bad news is that my port is slightly infected...so I am on an antibiotic.  They also gave me medicine for my cold sore and any future ones that try to pop up...side effect #268.  

I felt pretty descent this afternoon...fatigue set in but I hung in there.  The Hoskins brought an awesome southwest lasagna dish...and she had us all convinced she can't cook...could have fooled me!!!  The kids had a nice time, too.  THANK YOU!

The chemo effects are setting in...nausea, fatigue, and a HUGE headache.   I have a few crappy days ahead of me.  Oohh...and...hair is really falling out now!!   It's kinda fun running my hands through it and pulling it out...I know...weird huh?  We will prolly have to cut it in the next few days...did I mention how excited my kids are about that??  CRAZIES!!

I think it is time for bed. ..good night everyone...hugs!
