FINALLY CHEMO , Friday, Sept. 28, 2012

My day started at 1:30 AM!! Could not sleep at all. Not because of worry or fear I just could not get comfortable to sleep. I am a tummy or side sleeper. I was getting close to sleeping on an angle on my left side, BUT then came the surgery last Friday for my port. Back to just sleeping on my back. UGH :( Well with all the changes to my chemo schedule yesterday we decided to leave the port accessed and just pad me up for the rest of the day and night. It never occurred to me how uncomfortable that was going to be. Needles to say, I could not sleep. Poor Randy, he tried to comfort me and I was trying not to keep him awake. I wound up in the living room on the chaise. Here came Ozzie (my little protector). After lying there just looking out the window for about 1 1/2 hours I tried to get back to the bed. After 15 minutes I went back to the chaise. Here came Ozzie and Randy this time. We decided to watch TV. Rolled back the selection thingy and watched that new show with Lucy Loo about Sherlock Holmes. It was good. When that was over my guys went back to the bedroom and went back to sleep. I continued to channel surf. Waited for the alarms to go off at 5:30. Went to RIS, in Lakeland to have my MUGA (picture) taken of my heart beats. The tech was very nice, he explained everything to us. I was Glad Randy was there cause by that time I was not very coherent. Long story short we were at the top of the list, main priority treatment. Still took 2 hours for the whole thing. 9:00 AM we arrive back at LRCC for treatment. Get signed in and get my heated chair and 2 warmed blankets. One cup of coffee and one blueberry muffin. Not sure of the points plus values for WW but I wanted it BAD. They test results were sent over for Dr Nakka to read and see how my heart baseline was beating. I had the green light to take the first of the $$$$ nausea pills. Had to wait an hour.
