It's 5:30 am and very quiet! The house is still asleep. I slept pretty good off and on from 830 or so. Took an Ambien around 10 I think. Woke up a few times, but rolled over and dozed back off. All in all not too bad. :)
I don't think I have any appts till chemo Thursday, but I'd have to check with Shelly, to be sure. Hoping to hear from my Pitts specialist soon on my ultrasound. Oncology doctor just didn't know the answers I need. :/ So I'm hoping once Dr. Bonaventura receives all of my reports and cd's that she can fill in the blanks. I was told I'd hear from her late Friday, but didn't. Wasn't to concerned though, a phone call from her then would be limited also until she has my cd which was being mailed. The reports were faxed but the films and cd mailed. So I will be patient till she gets those all together and can make her assessments. I will call my other doctor later today and see if he has pathology report back on my infection that has kept me down this pat 2 weeks. Seeing if it's MRSA or not. It is much better as far as the area, but the lingering body pains and issues are still hanging around. Wish cancer had better treatment options than chemotherapy. It truly is brutal. I've read different combos for different cancers are more tolerable, but my heart goes out to those with any like this! I will say Saturday night helped a lot, getting dressed, and doing makeup and leaving the house for awhile. My friends were able to distract me and make me feel almost normal for a little bit. I'm blessed. :)
It's almost August and it just feels like summer is slipping away! Missing my family gatherings soooo much. Seems like we aren't doing as much as we have in the previous summers. Normally we'd be together every weekend for swimming and picnics and this year is a little slacking. Maybe I will push for some more time there! I miss the little ones running around and the big boys floating and carrying on. Feels a little like they are avoiding me. Maybe I should start wearing hair around them! lol try and blend in a little more and make them think I feel better!
Today I am trying to start making myself eat something small with these morning meds. Yes, it was a small sugar cookie, barely got it down, but trying to get something in my belly before all the medication goes in. Have to figure out a way to protect my lining more. I've been having a lot of pain with the daily nausea. Maybe I should be nicer to my lining! lol Hoping it will pay off and start to improve!
Mondays are usually pretty hum drum, but today I am going to make an effort to make it a good one. For the whole household. Thawing out some hamburger to make a pot of stuffed pepper balls for them. (Their grandma Sally's recipe!) A good day for it. 50 in PA this morning, with a high of 74 at 4pm. Good day for it! Woke up feeling pretty bad, but already starting to improve. Let's have it continue throughout the day!
May everyone have a very blessed week ahead! <3
