ER ickiness
So I spent a few hours in the ER yesterday to find out the problem I had is totally normal, something that can happen during chemo, and I'm completely healthy with normal blood counts. It wasn't fun, but it was worth it, and the expense, to find out there was nothing seriously wrong with me. It still wasn't very fun at all, and I spent a lot of the time pacing in the room they gave me. Boy, if hospitals make me anxious, the ER was like triple the normal nerves I get. My heart rate was through the roof, which cause momentary concern, until everyone figured out how freaked out I was. Then it was dubbed totally normal.
Today's my tenth day, when my counts can be at their lowest, so I'm staying at home (nothing new there though...) and doing a lot of resting and relaxing to make sure nothing crazy happens this time around. My last two tenth days I had an infection of some kind pop up, and it was way less than fun. So today I'm determined to have a nice, normal, quiet, restful day.
In other news, I'm working on my manuscript like no time has go by at all since I last picked it up. My creative juices, which I thought had dried up with this cancer business, came rushing back. I'm working like a madwoman again, and I think it might look like something that could be published in another week or two. I'm really excited by that, because I might have help getting into the publishing world from a friend of my family's. We'll have to see if she thinks it's worth it, but I'm excited just by the prospect of having help getting it published.
That's about all I've been up to. I've been doing a ton of reading and catching up on my TV and movie watching while I work at home. Not very exciting, but I just keep telling myself it's only until September...
