Yesterday was better than the day before and today was better than yesterday. I’m able to eat and my digestive system seems to be working fine. My legs and feet are still fluid free. I have been taking my temp about every 2 hours and no fever. So far, only one Motrin today.
Tomorrow is the big day. I already have the prescriptions for the potential side effects. I took two pills this morning and I take two tonight. Tomorrow and Saturday I repeat the dosage. I have two other prescriptions, one that I can take every 8 hours and one that I can take every 4-6 hours. I am going in with the intention that I won’t need them and that I will tolerate the chemo with little if any side effects. I’ll let you know.
Both Lindsay and Wes have the cold/flu that has been going around so they have not been over. Sure do not need to get that. Lindsay will be over tomorrow to take me to the chemo appointment and then she will pick me up and take me home. I’ll be taking a quilt that Betty made for me, a jacket, a book, my phone, charger, and ear buds, snacks and iced tea, pens, a notebook, meds I take during the day, lotion and Chapstick. I’ll be there for 5-6 hours so I want to have things available. The gal who I spoke with on Sunday will also be there so I’m sure we will talk. I just don’t want to intrude on her routine and I may want some alone time so I want to have stuff with me.
Any and all prayers and positive thoughts (and chanting, Cheryl J) will be most appreciated.
Hugs,
Dar
