No longer a chemo virgin

We went in on Wednesday, ready for the poison.  We had three nurses and 5 needle sticks to get the IV in, and no one could do it.  They decided I needed to hydrate to fatten up my viens, and we would try again the next day.  I went home crying.

So we tried again Thursday morning, and the nurse got the IV in on the first try and off we went.  It burns a bit going in, but once I get the port, I shouldn't have that problem.  And it sucks that we have to go in two days in a row to get it all in, but I have a schedule to follow with the anti nausea meds and sleeping pills.

I am super tired all the time right now.  Just coming down the stairs makes me need to sit down.  Hopefully that will pass in a few days too.  I would like to take my doggie out for a walk, but it's raining, so he'll have to wait.

Now if I could just get my body works from being gummed up, I'd be happy!

God is love.
