half way

Jul 15, 2006 11:47

well it' looks as if i am about half way through my treatment. i am getting a little tired of guessing how my body will react each day. but you just got to take each punch as it comes.

well the picc line in my vein that took so much to get put in my arm last week got blood clots in it and out it had to come. which ment six weeks of daily self injections to un clot everything, more needles to get my daily/ weekly blood tests and a lot of fun bruising. yesterday i got a new piece of tubing to be placed in my neck. i never was much one for jewellery and this bit of bling in my neck is a aggravation for sleeping. but it was a nessecary evil another blow i just had to take on the road to recovery.

one of my resent alter ego's MISS TOXIC a S&M cartoon character i have developed for my self seems to like the look. she has a thing for purple and shinny black. purple because thats what they use to give warning to toxic chemo drugs in hospital that cost an arm and a leg. lucky for me i have a sweet deal in the public health system at the moment.

the use the central line in my neck to draw blood and put in chemo drugs. hopefully this is the last one i have in me till the end of all this. it was not nice at all to have a needle in my neck to numb the pain. and having wire and plastic shoved down your vein to your heart.

i am home at the moment. in and out of hospital for blood tests and to be given replacement blood products as well. these days i have trouble whatching any show on tv involving anything medical they tend to remind me of the pain and that kind of ruins any of the escapism for me. cheers b
