Day 267 - 'one' good girl

yep that's me!  Yesterday was my routine lab work and dr. appointment.  Ray and I talked alot before we went about how I've been feeling.  We know we want to take some time off my chemo during the summer but wondered how it would work.  And with the nausea being almost 24/7 I get quite down at times. 

So in walked the dr...
 and she asked how I was doing.  Told her I was 'wearing out'!  She said 'you want a break?' Boy can that lady read my mind.  I told her that I wasn't sure since I wanted to take quite a bit of time off during the summer and she said 'about 3 sessions?'.  She read my mind again! Crazy. 

So we decided since I've been such a 'good girl' that she would cancel this week's chemo and then I will have 4 sessions before my summer break.  woohoo. We want to see if the nausea is from the chemo or something else. We also talked about changing my medications but I am concerned that if we change my medication that I will need to get port put into my chest.  But she said that we wouldn't need to! woohoo

So we yakked for a little more and off we went to sit in the waiting room for my appointment card to be filled in. No prescription for me today! I could hardly contain my tears at the idea of having a session off to regain my strength and not have nausea for awhile. What a baby eh? Another sign of how fatigued I'm getting. I like it when I have something to blame.

The rest of the day we spent running around having some fun.  Even found a much needed bike for a grandkiddo at a thrift store.  We arrived home about 4:30, 9 hours after leaving for the clinic.  It was a long day.

Anyways, the evening was full of a yummy dinner, painting wooden eggs for my Easter display and then a run to the casino for Ray.  I was soooooo tired when we arrived home again.  But it was a good tired.  I wasn't tired from medications, or chemo, or ?

Now...what shall I fill my next 3 weeks with? hmmmm
