Hello friends and family,

Well I had treatment #4 yesterday.  It actually went a lot quicker than any previous ones because they dripped one of the drugs into me much faster since I was not having any bad reactions previously.  In at 8:00, out by 12:30, a record.

I had a few side effects kick in sooner than before, probably because of the quicker drip.  My toes were numb last evening, such a weird feeling, doesn't hurt, just feels like they are asleep.  My finger tips too, but not so much.  I had a slight headache when I left the hospital but it didn't last long, and my taste buds are off again.  Ugh, nothing tastes normal.

I woke up this morning to a puffy face (prednisone) and it was red, like I got sunburned.  That will go away once I stop the prednisone after Sunday.  I am going to Courtney's for fish tacos tonight with the boys there so she can give me my first shot then, if I remember to take the medicine . . .Andrea went to her parents today so she won't be there for dinner.

The boys had a game on Wednesday, I didn't go but Courtney did and took some pictures for me.  They play again tomorrow and I will be there for that one.  It will be a busy weekend for me so soon after my treatment and I will be exhausted by Sunday afternoon, but the boys are only here every other weekend and I so enjoy seeing them.

I see my cardiologist next Wednesday, they might be doing another electocardiogram, I'm not sure.  They are checking to see how my heart is dealing with the chemo treatments.  They will be checking my meds, hopefully not changing them again.  I will let you know what they say.

My hair is still falling out slowly, I still have a whole head full but it is very thin.  Needless to say, I wore another new scarf cap to my appointment.  Even added pearls, very dolled up.  Had a chatty neighbor this time, only the two of us in the room, so the time went by quickly.  She was only in to get a shot and take pills but she had a lot of waiting time.  She left and another came in, this one had breast cancer and it wasn't looking so good for her but she was pretty upbeat, so good for her.

The weather has warmed up again, in the 70s during the day, 50s at night.  The air is off, the windows are open, my cats are so happy to sit in the windows again.  I have started walking around in the park a little, need to get moving.  Can't go far yet, but every little bit helps.  The flowers Courtney planted survived the rain and the high winds, I hope I can keep them going.

That's it for now, till next time stay healthy and I hope it warms up for most of you who are still experiencing winter weather.  I don't miss it.  LOL.

My new cap, brown with pink scarf  with
brown polka dots.  And pink pearls.
