Yesterday I had round 2 of my chemo. I started out once again with Benadryl to help with any allergic reactions. Last time I lasted all of about 10 minutes before falling into a deep sleep. This time I lasted about 30 minutes. Whoo Hoo! Then I had a very nice and peaceful nap. It all went pretty quickly - a little over 3 hours. Next time should be faster since I'm not having any adverse reactions. I went home and took another nap. All is good.
Today I've just been a little tired but up most of the day. I've been playing Age of Empires on the computer with Alex & Eddie. It's a pretty fun game. You build your civilizations and attack the computer enemies. We've been kicking some bootie...makes it even better - it's no fun when they totally destroy you!
I got my Neulasta shot today as well. This is the one that will help my white blood count come up when it is low. It's also the one that helped land me in the hospital last time. I'm hoping to manage it a little better this time with some pain medication. I'm not going to try to go without any Vicodin this time ; )
I also got some amazing photo's from my family in Missouri today. I haven't seen any of them for probably close to 10 years. They were a sight for sore eyes and I'm hoping that I can take a trip over there to give them each a big hug - I miss them so much!
Anyways, thank you all for the kind thoughts, prayers and well wishes. It helps keep my spirits up. Everyone tells me that I have a very upbeat attitude and that will really help me through this. It's all because of all of you. Thank you & I love you all!
