Well, starting at 10 pm last night, I was tired enough to go to bed at a decent hour....not fatigued from the chemo, just tired from the long day. I learned something from my "buddy"....he has an annoying habit of cycling every 30 seconds or so...not loud, just a little whirring...click! Just enough to wake me from a light dozing...my dilemma would come with bedtime. Well, I played out enough tubing to put it next to me, surrounding it, then a pillow on top. Ahhh, peace and quiet. I slept through the night.
5:00 am Today, up at 5 am, not by choice, but Max and Toby think its time to eat...which means Gee wants to come in and eat, which mean Casper and Rascal need to eat...after getting the livestock fed it was time to wake up. Amazingly, no nausea, although they gave me an hours worth of drip during the first treatment so I guess it is doing its job. I'll get the real picture maybe tomorrow or Saturday. I hope this is a good sign I can tolerate the treatments pretty well.
5:30 am Next dilemma....taking a shower. Since my port went in yesterday, the incisions were only closed with skin glue, so it was recommended I put a covering over it for awhile. Saran wrap works great! I hung up "buddy" on a clothes hanger on the outside of the shower, but it was still a challenge to wash my hair and all being tethered like this. I am glad I only have "him" for 46 hours.
6:45am In the car, taking Katherine to work. First driving in 24 hours. I went into work today and felt great, lots of energy, got a lot done. No nausea at all during the day.
6:45 pm Home now and a light dinner (with hiccups now, I never get the hiccups) and I feel pretty good. Hope I'm not fooling myself. It was interesting today at work. Wearing my "buddy" today was a conversation starter for the many who had no idea I what I was dealing with. Lot's of encouragement and well wishes. I am confident I will do well throughout this ordeal. Well, gonna kick back and blog some more before bed....
