Friday Night and I'm At Home...Yippee!!!
I'm such a goofy. I can't help it. I love my new shift!!!
Anyway, I made it through the first week. It was a very productive one. I've learned so much and there's so much more to learn. I just hope I remember it all next Wednesday. That's when I'll be on my own.
On Monday, my manager is hosting a welcome breakfast with me as the honoree :) How cute. I'll get the opportunity to meet everyone in the department as well as those who I will be working closely with in other departments. I hope they don't ask me a lot of questions. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. I walked into work today and my name showed up on the phone display. I'm such a nerd. I am also responsible for maintaining a Nursing website and the contact information for questions and additions was changed to yours truly. I am somebody.
I need to really go shopping. My thousands of pairs of jeans will not suffice for my new position. My momma always warned me that buying to many jeans would get me into trouble. I think I have a enough tops, but I'm sure I'll find the need to buy more. Maybe I'll go shopping tomorrow.
I came home this evening and took a Norco because I was having a lot of pain. I found that I was able to control the post chemo pain by taking 800 mgs of Motrin twice a day. I was feeling so good that I didn't take it this morning and I paid for it. I didn't allow the Norco to knock me out because I just wanted to enjoy my nice evening at home and watch a little t.v. without feeling like a crack fiend. My eyes are a little heavy, but I'm good. I just played a game of spade and now I'm sitting her watching the news. They charged this idiot that killed a lady that worked at my hospital with a second murder. He worked for Comcast and he murdered Jan in October I think. They found another woman dead and the crime scene was similar to Jan's. She was so nice. I only got a chance to meet her once and I talked to her a few times on the phone. He's such an idiot.
Happy Birf-day, Jaime I'll see you tomorrow.
The last time I had chemo, we discovered that my port had flipped. I was checking it out today and it has flipped again. At my last appointment, the nurse was able to flip it back to the right side. I'm hoping she's able to do it again. I couldn't believe it. I thought there was something wrong when she poked me the first time and it was quite painful. That never happens. Then she realized that she was hitting metal and needed to flip it back. She says that usually they have to send patients to Interventional Radiology (the place where I got it) so that they can flip it. I don't feel like going there. As long as this mug doesn't become infected, I'm all good. I didn't have this problem with my last one. I think it's because they didn't stitch it down. I dunno.
I've been a little cold lately. My RBCs were a little low last week at chemo so they gave me Aranesp. It's the first time in a long time that I've had to have a red cell booster. I just hope my WBCs stay within normal range because that Neulasta is painful. I don't need any extra joint and muscle pain.
My sweetie is feeling better. I felt so bad that he was under the weather during our weekend getaway. He looks so cute when he's sleeping and sick. I found myself watching him sleep and he let out a few snores because he was so stopped up.
***Uh oh, I'm sweating now. Damn menopause***
I guess I'll stop here and get some cold Kool-aid so that I can try to cool off.
