Doctor Day

It's Dr and bloodwork today. I am thinking my Dr shall ask how I am and I shall say fine and yes, I am having side affects and did I really think I would be exempt, well of course not but chills and a sore jaw, good grief.

I have had blookwork done quite regularly for the past 20 years and you would think it would be a walk in the park, well I still don't watch and they still bruise me, so the answer is: Can I skip the park today? and they say no and so I do it.

Now while going to work with something on my head other than my hair is an adventure and one that like I said I shall embrace (I always say, I should be able to wear anything as after all I work with people who wear yellow rubber pants, its a look). People see me and some say cute headcover and others look and then the elephant in room appears and stops them from asking, are you alright? why do you have a hat on? are you sick? you don't look sick? or where's your hair? etc, etc.

I am now on Facebook and not quite sure what is going on and someone wants to give me a gift which I think is virtual and I am afraid to accept, but I shall learn and will look back and say "Oh" this is easy.

Tomorrow is Chemo Day 2 and I will show up and I will put my hand out and they will insert needle and they will give me flush followed by Adriamycin then Cytoxan followed by another flush and then I can be unhooked and go home. My body fluids will be red for 2 days and last time it was strange to say the least but I got through it and I will again this time.

One must give ones weight because your dosage is based on what that weight is, I have lost 5 lbs and since I am a WW I am cheering myself on, although Dr may frown and I shall say it is OK, this is a benefit I had not counted on. Being the victor at the end of this battle is, but to be svelt also, can you stand it.

A moment in my time,
