Here comes Chemo

I'm as ready as I'll ever be. I'm not nervous, I'm more anxious to get on with it. We have to be there tomorrow at 8:00 for a Chemo class. After that I have a doctor's appointment and after that I start Chemo. Coray took tomorrow off & will come for the class & doctor's appointment but I'll send him home once I start the Chemo part. No sense in him sitting around waiting for hours. It will be a LONG day. I have a bag ready to go. It has a blanket, DVD/CD player, candy, gum, a couple books & water (with a lovely beverage mix in). I can nap, read & watch movies (I only wish Twilight was out on DVD already!). I know they offer a sedative prior to beginning the IV drip(s) so you can sleep if you want to. I may try that tomorrow. Guess I'm all set. I got a package in the mail today from my friend Margie. Among it's contents were TWO gift certificates to The Outback!!! WOO HOO!!! Guess what we had for dinner...curbside to go....you just can't beat it! And I splurged & got myself a Victoria Filet. So Yummy! Thanks again Margie. That was our early Valentine's dinner since I'm pretty much going to be out of it all day Saturday (or so I'm told).

I had my first expansion yesterday. Which was ok though my skin is still numb so I didn't feel the needle go in. I did feel it going through the muscle though. Yuck. I've been more sore today than I have been the past week but I guess that's to be expected. Just more fun to look forward to over the next few months. I'm kind of at a loss for words tonight so this is going to be short. I'm going to try to get to sleep early, not that I need a good nights sleep since I can nap all during Chemo if I want! But I need to try to just relax. I'll post again once I'm feeling up to it. Wish me luck!
