Chemo Combat..................................Me and my Mutt Kickin' Big "C's" Butt

Chemo combat:

Day 1: 6 hours of pre-meds and chemo. Fabulously distracted by dear friends.

Day 2: Woke up with no side effects other than extreme fatigue. Stayed in bed all day other than getting up to let the dog out or grab a snack.

Day 3: Woke up and was suddenly wildly nauseous, remembered that I still had one more anti-nausea pill to take (1 each for day 1-3 for a total of $100 + tax....this is what you buy for someone going through chemo...flowers are nice but wonderdrugs are nicer!). I pulled off a walk with Sadie at the local park and then was back to bed and crazy symptoms....feverishly hot, jaw-crushing pain, tingling in hands and feet, racing heart, faintness when standing, breakthrough nausea...it went on for hours with me looking at over a half-dozen prescription bottles thinking "okay, what to take, when to take, how much to take, and if too much, will I wake?"

Day 4: Good news. I did wake up. Sunny. Good. Brain. Dead. Kids. Coming back in a couple hours.

Can't wait for my own personal resurrection.
