One down....? to go.

Well day one is over, 1 down ? more to go. I arrived at the cancer center at about 8:00. Everyone was very nice,
and answered most of my questions
. The day was long, I was there for about 4 and 1/2 hours. The port was pretty neat to use. The only draw back was after the hepron was administered my chest has felt like there is a needle still in it. (
All in all the experience was not as bad as It could have been. Like I said everyone was very kind and helpful. This is a picture of my "crazy nurse Kathy"
As I left the hospital, I was a bit disoriented or maybe it was my direction being challenged again, :-) Anyway I got out to the car and it started to hit. Mind you it was 90 degrees today but I still needed to turn the heater on. That felt so good to be warm. I drove home OK and felt good as long as I remained in a 100 degree car, as soon as I got out of the car, I started shaking pretty violently. So I donned my sweats and settled in on the sofa with my warm blanket. Boy they weren't kidding when they said flu like symptoms. I am not sure if the body aches are left over from the surgeries or the "flu like" symptoms.
Well it is around 8:30 and I am feeling a bit better. So maybe I can finally get a good night sleep. 1 down......?... to go.

I'm glad things weren't as bad as they could have been. Hopefully, all of the treatments won't be 4 1/2 hours long. Just keep that positive attitude and be careful of that nurse. She does look crazy.

Hey Lynette

Your "hot flashes" remind me of the days when Anna would get hot flashes from being pregnant with Sophie...."Boy, am I hot!!!!"

Hang in there.
