The “conscious sedation” meds they gave me yesterday wore off around bed time (wouldn’t ya know). Who ever knew you used your neck/shoulder muscles so much when simply turning over in the bed!!! Goodness! And it just flat out feels weird having this port inside my chest! I’m bruised up a bit and it is a little tender to the touch – but the information they sent me home with yesterday says the soreness should wear off after 48-72 hours. I hope so! This, by far, has been more uncomfortable than the 2 lumpectomies! 🙂 Even so – I hate to complain. I’m thankful that I won’t have to get “stuck” each and every time they need blood or give me chemo or IV meds.
I spent the day today tidying up lots of loose ends like paying bills and washing clothes. Then I went to see my hair girl Rachael. I realized last week that my next hair appointment was scheduled for tomorrow (June 28th) which was also the same day as my first chemo treatment. I called Rachael and told her to just cancel my appointment – especially since the medical oncologist had assured me that I would, indeed, lose my hair in the first 10-12 days after chemo. Rachael asked me to reconsider and to reschedule an appointment for today to go ahead and cut my hair shorter so when I start losing it, it wouldn’t be such a drastic change!
wait for it……wait for it…..wait for it…..
I’ve worn my hair short before – it’s been awhile (and SEVERAL pounds) ago – but I really like it! Talk about low maintenance! 🙂 It feels like puppy dog hair in the back! Thanks Rach….. ❤
Several of you have asked me what was going to choose to eat for dinner tonight – well……who is surprised that we had a Pizza Hut thin’n crispy Supreme Pizza AND a Pepperoni pizza. Good stuff right there!
I got my anti-nausea patch placed behind my ear around 7pm per the pharmacist’s directions.
Tomorrow will be a long day in the Cancer Center. My prayer is that I tolerate the chemo meds okay. I think I’m as mentally prepared as I can be. Thanks to all of you who have reached out to me today sending love and best wishes. Keep the prayers coming! Let’s do this!
Be blessed!
