April 21, 2011 - Round 4, A Good Day...really

Wednesday, 9:30 am - I rehearsed all night how to handle Wendy driving the foot-long lance through my chest....okay, I'm a baby...it wasn't that bad this time. Still, I took the deep breath...it still hurt. I made sure the night before I got lots of rest and it made a difference starting out the treatments feeling good. Have to admit I did doze off several times in the comfy chair. Before I knew it, 3 hours were gone and I was done....well, except for taking my 'buddy' home. He looked so happy to see me. He started with an enthusiastic 'whirrr click!'.

I decided not to go back in to work after the treatment and went home. What a difference!! When I got home I actually took a nap! Several in fact. And yes, I did peek at some emails. So it was a quiet day...

Thursday - A great day! Well...a very good day...its never a great day when you're wearing a fanny pack. I was surprised at the energy I had all day. No nausea and reasonable energy level. I am extremely fortunate. I am also grateful for the great friends and loving family that keep me going. I had a bout of depression last round but I am vowing to not let that happen again. Looking forward to a quiet evening then taking my 'buddy' back in the morning. I'll wrap up tomorrow...
