88 over..................rainy day blues

Rain ... rain.... go away. Come again another day. ( preferably after my back yard dries up) it looks like a lake back there.
So it has been very gloomy and the rain just doesn't seem to let up. I guess that is better than a drought. I guess we are never satisfied. OK so I will stop complaining, and say, the side effects yesterday were manageable. I only felt really bad for about 4 hours.

So 88 down ...... 56 to go

..He has risen!............................ Happy Easter

87th injection over......

Today the skies are dark and raining.


My side effects are manageable.




We are looking forward to going to Mass this afternoon, and celebrating the Resurrection of our Savior tomorrow.


87 down..........57 to go

84, 85, 86 done.......

Well I am really behind on my posts. It has been a week since my last and not too much on the Cancer treatment front. Everything is still going. Sometimes too slowly, but I know once I look back it will be a distant memory. So in the meantime time keeps ticking away........
My side effects on Tuesday were extra bad. It is funny and I know I have said this before but... just when you think you can predict the effects. Things get shaken up.

So today is Passover and tomorrow "Good Friday" I always wondered why we choose to call it "good" when that is the day our Lord was crucified. I know it was good for us, but I think I would rather think of Easter as the Good day.


86 down .... 58 to go

83rd injection done...........

So I am still moving pretty slow after my surgery. But I can tell I am on the mend and each day I feel a little better.

The side effects still linger on and on and on and...well you get the drift. Just counting down.

83 down............61 to go

#82 arghhh.........not getting better

OK I am supposed to be feeling better. The last time I had this surgery I was only down for a week. Last night I ran a high fever, 101. The discomfort is terrible. I can't really say it is pain, but it does keep me up at night and as soon as I doze off I get woken up from the horrible feeling that there is something living inside my bladder. OK I don't need to go on, you get the point. And then of course the are the regular flu like symptoms I deal with every day. Does some one want to trade places with me? for a day would be so nice not to feel sick or hurt.

I don't know how I am going to make it through a full day at work tomorrow. Hopefully I will have a "REAL" speedy recovery.

82 down...........62 to go

# 81 ... the hard way

I am still suffering from the recovery process from my surgery. I have been experiencing alot of pain, fatigue, dizziness and nausea. I think the interferon has intensified the pain and nausea. Hopefully I will start feeling better soon, I am not liking this!@#!

81 down............63 to go

80th done - one more surgery

So we are heading off to the Surgery center. I am trying the Eden Hill Medical Center. This is a new facitily, we will see how things go. This is my 6th surgery in 9 months. I should be getting used to the whole surgicial proceedure, but I am not. This one hits on a side effect day, woo hoo things just dont get any better than this, or could they ? It could be raining......wait it is raining.....oh brother, here we go.

80 down..........64 to go

79th injection done

I feel under the weather today...

Last night was pretty rough. Just as soon as I feel like I am getting a handle on these side effects. They hit me with a vengeance. Last night was a rough night, the fevers and nausea was bad and the nagging headaches and body aches, were there to make it completely icky.

The only thing good about the 79th injection, is it is over. Heading for 80.

I wonder how my surgery will go since it is on a side effect day.

79 done...... 65 to go

78th injection over

Welcome Spring!

The calender says Spring is here, but the temperatures don't reflect the date. I do have to say we have daffodils blooming in the front yard, so that is encouraging. I have to admit the pictures are from last year. But I know it is bound to warm up soon.

I have to laugh because in a few months we will be complaining that it is too hot.

I saw my Oncologist Friday after spending too much time at the Cancer Center and the hospital. I needed to get all my pre-op tests done. I should be getting used to all the waiting around, but I am not. It just amazes me how the medical profession schedule us for the most efficient use of time (for them) meanwhile we spend hours sitting in waiting rooms. Hey maybe that is why they call us patients. My blood work came back and I have a bit of anemia, no wonder I have been so tired.
