Treatment #7

Finally I can get on with a comment about the last treatment which was delayed for a week for lack of availabililty of one of the drugs. My treatment day was moved to Tuesday so I could work the weekends at the hospital. That Monday morning I felt great when I got off work. Went to Walmart for an oil change, 7:00 am is a great time for that. Picked up feed for the animals and back home to bed. When I got up I was sick as a dog with the stomach bug that had hit everyone else in the house. Pretty much a one day thing but I was a little concerned about not feeling good going in for treatment. Actually, I felt better after, probably with all the fluids I received. The only thing other than routine was the lady with the experimental drug was there to get blood, like 6 viles. It wasn't a good week though. I got sick again on Friday and felt bad all weekend but still went to work. Saturday night was so-so, but Sunday I should have stayed home. Of course, being in a hospital I had all the offers of help I needed. ER brought me a pitcher of ice water, another nurse a cup of tomato soup and jello, checked on about every half hour. I made it and feel a little better today. I had to force myself out to feed and water the animals. It is COLD and my cold sensitivity on my fingers is killing me. I do half and come in the house and warm my fingers and change gloves. I need to find some good mittens with a wool liner if they still make such a thing. So, I guess that's about all of my routine medical life for now. Seven down and five to go, hopefully.
