The longest day...
I have had the most draining day in clinic EVER. If it could go wrong...it did. But I'm ok. I'm in remission, so that's good. I start a new phase of treatment next week where I have to be admitted and stay in the hospital for two nights...all visitors definitely welcome. I need someone to keep me occupied.
K, now about clinic...
Candace, Briana, Mom, and Dad all went with me today. Traffic was bad on the way there, Mom HAD to stop at the chiropractor and get adjusted before my appointment...don't know why. But yeah, we were late. Then I sat in the waiting room forever before they accessed my port (stuck a needle in my side) and drew my labs. I still hadn't had my vitals taken by like 10:30. It was crazy. Then finally they took my vitals and it turns out I LOST weight. I'm still fat, but that's ok. I'm allowed to be. Anyways, then I felt really bad. I dont know why but my whole body just felt like lead. I thought I was just going to die of sheer exhaustion. I was so hungry and thirsty, but I couldnt eat until after sedation. I saw the doctor and he told me I need sleep so he put me on Ambien but my insurance won't cover it right away or something and so we had to do a whole bunch of paperwork and crap. I'm just a whole lot of trouble. Well then finally they decided to sedate me, but it turns out my oxygen level in my blood was low and they tried to give me oxygen and it didn't come up so they couldn't sedate me until they found out why. so they had to unhook me from all the equiptment and send me upstairs for a chest xray. by this time, Sasha and Jenn had come...Sasha bearing the new Susan cd, and Jenn books! I'm was really excited, but so exhausted, depressed, and hungry that I couldnt express much of anything. I got my xray and then went back down to clinic where I waited FOREVER for them to compare the xrays from today from old ones and blah blah blah. Something showed up, but nothing too worrysome so they put me to sleep and did the spinal tap and the bone marrow. OH and they forgot to numb me for the bone marrow...oops. It hurts bad. Really bad. But when I woke up, they informed me that I still couldnt eat b/c Dr.Berkow wanted to do a CT scan on my chest to make sure I don't have pnemonia. I was like...OMG! I almost had an emotional meltdown, but I did good I think. It was almost 4 before they finally got me through all this and gave me some food. I ate some fruit and a chocolate bar, and I felt so much better it isnt' even funny. well My CT scan was fine..I'm fine. Everything is fine. And it was a crazy day. I'm tired now from typing. It's been a LONG day. I'm ready for some sleep. But I'm about to go watch the "ghost hunters marathon" on sci fi. LOL. I'm such a dork.
Ooh, I ate JIm n nicks. I ate a whole grilled chicken salad and YES...six cheese biscuits. It's true. And Im not really that full. It's crazy. Really it is. Omg. I can't believe I ate that much. Don't make fun of me.
