Yes, very chilly this morning. Fall weather, waking up shivering! From mornings of 50's to afternoons in the 70's. Almost tempted to turn on little space heater at 5 am to take the extreme chill off! But, I just bundled up good and got under blankets. Need to slipper shop! lol A little early in the season, but not when its 50's!
Yesterday I felt a little better. It was an up and down day. I'd feel ok for a little while then not so good, off and on. BUT was happy to hear that I was correct in thinking I had MRSA. Not happy to have it but happy to know I wasn't crazy :). I had the same thing about a week after my very first chemo that I felt so ill and was put on an antibiotic. Then again, almost 3 weeks ago. This all could have been avoided if I'd had the right antibiotic over 2 months ago. :( So, I tossed the 2 antibiotics they gave me and started another one last night. The first 2 help a little but aren't the best choice for it I was told. This one is supposed to go in for the kill. Yay. Hopefully this one 3x a day next 10 days does the trick! This being sick junk is for the birds. I don't mind a few days of not feeling well but endless going into weeks is just too much. So here's to new med slashing the MRSA.
On another note, my UMC specialist called back. Still confused. Not going to dwell on it though. Just do my time. haha. She isn't quite sure about the lymph node comment on pathology report either. Could be nothing. Could be a little something. But she assured me it won't matter because she stated it's so close to the tumor that it will be removed along with it during surgery after chemotherapy. I'm praying it comes back clear at that time, I think it's the difference between radiation or not. Oh please pray for no radiation. I wouldn't even be doing all this chemo if it weren't for the Her2+ being 3+. Tried everything to get out of chemo. lol But was told it's the best route. Now I'm 2 mths invested so I've got to hang in there and finish. It's a challenge. I keep reading these other women doing a similar chemo plan to mine and they all feel ok. Hoping mine is linked to the 2 mths lingering MRSA and will continue to improve. Maybe? lol Please! :)
Made dinner last night. Seemed like forever that I actually cooked. But in my defense, summer is always less cooking and more grilling and such! But this crazy weather had me thinking fall foods. Needed to take the chill off the kitchen anyhow. So I made Grandma Sally's Stuffed Pepper Balls, mashed potatoes, and corn. A crowd pleaser here. I ate a little. But yikes, did I pay for it. lol Belly pains for about an hour, but it did stay put! :)
Amazingly, to this day my weekly blood work checking my white count for the need of that expensive shot that has those terrible side effects hasn't been necessary. I had that shot one time and was told I'd get it weekly. When I questioned it, and asked to have my blood checked to see if I needed it they agreed. And to this day, I haven't had to have one. hmmmmm. Politics? Government?I don't put much energy into digesting that, but I will say it does make one think! :)
So again, this morning started out rough, but already starting to feel a little better. My anti nausea with my tea is starting to kick in. YAY. Hoping for a decent day! Sometimes it's hard putting on my happy face, but for the fact of my little one with his generous affections.
Have a great Tuesday! We will here! God Bless!
