Well, this week has been absolutely crazy. You would never know I am taking chemo treatments. I feel almost back to normal, except my white counts are low, as well as hemogloblin (whatever all that means). I feel fine - I have energy and an appetite. I have been eating all the wrong things at all the wrong times - so I have probably gained back the five pounds, plus some, this past week. My next treatment is Tuesday and I am already dreading it. THose first four to five days are pretty rough.
I woke up to a very sick cat this morning and had to make a vet appointment. $192 later, he had an x-ray, blood test, fluid injection, anti-nausea injection, bland cat food and hairball formula. Let's hope nothing is wrong and all this stuff works. It's not like him to get sick all the time and be lethargic - he is a very active little guy and is my little buddy. I had to take him in, unfortunately he bit me and now I will probably have to get on antibiotics because of my low bloods counts - it never ends.
Kids are back in school and it is the daily battle of getting them up in the morning and them getting them to do their homework in the evening. THe bus has failed to pick up my son this past week and I have had to drive him to school. So I am arguing with the transportation department about that.
I had my head totally shaved and have my wig. I am not satisfied with the way it looks though. The girl that cut and styled it doesn't know me and how I like to wear my hair. So I am trying to do my own thing with this wig - I actually like being bald. It is kind of freeing. It's great to not have to shave my legs every day. My shower time has been cut down greatly!!
Hope you all are doing well. Thanks for asking about me. I will try to post more often - just don't want to bore you with all my junk.
Teri
