Chemo Update

So yesterday, I didn't get an intra-thecal like I thought I was going to get, they're saving it up for extra torture time on the 16th to go along with my next bone marrow biopsy.  I did get my vincristine and donarubason as well as have a discussion about my medications, and told the P.A. that I would tell someone if I took a tylenol.  I got a calling tree or questions and emergencies and Tony made sure I had a sandwich.

So then I talked with Dr. Asch who updated  me with the correct information on timing, so my next chemo (and it will be just regular is the sixth) and then the bone marrow test and LP are scheduled for the 16th.  Sometime around the 6th my case worker will schedule time for everyone to sit down and talk about the transplant.  Dr. Asch's main concern was that I was taking everything too well, and that I was maybe masking my distress.  I told her know, that I understand what I'm facing and that I would worry about one thing at a time, one day at a time, and right now it was finding a way to poop after all the stuff she was giving me and figuring out how to control my blood sugar now that I had starved myself.

Well, the blood sugar thing, I slept that off when we got home after eating a left over enchilada and corn chips after the sandwich and baked lays Tony brought me in the hospital, and we had a late dinner.

I had a hard time sleeping, it has just been too hot in our room since I've gotten back, especially with the night sweats (yes, I checked my temperature) and this room was significantly hotter I think because Jake put the cover back on the water controls in the small bathroom, so the hot air is no longer escaping to the basement, and I've had the door closed to keep the cat out.   So in the middle of the night, when Jake got home he dug out the baby gate and set it up, and sure enough, Duchess won't jump over it, he does guard it though.  I slept the rest of the night much better.

I felt a little nauseated this morning, but I took an ondesetron and feel better.
