Na na na na na na na na na
This last round of chemo was horrible. I lost my appetite as soon as I got there. Tried to eat but my tummy said no. I am giving up lotto scratchers for lent even though I am not catholic. I'm doing my own religious thing. I figure I gotta find something I feel right with this way. Anyways, Ruben bought me the last scratchers I could do before lent, and I lost horribly!!! We usually win our money back at least, but not this time...So, I get a call from my sister, she needs to come talk to me, her world is crumbling. Ok. She got fired from her job, which also happened to be where she lived, so she was told to move out immediatly. GREAT. So we go over all her options and being who I am, even though my house is more than full, I offered to let her and Steve stay...very temp. and they have to provide thier own food, and pay rent. I hope I don't end up regretting this.
Day two of my stay and I am not feeling good at all. I have all my favorite nurses and am thankful for that. Kelly had them test for Cdiff and sure enough, possitive. Now I don't want to go into gross details, but this virus is NO FUN!! So I get my new meds...more pills to take.
Day three, my morale is way down. I just want to go home. I need two units of blood. This will further delay my stay. I take alot of ativan and try to sleep.
Day three and half, its 5am, chemos done, I go home.
I can't eat, I can't sleep, everything is stupid. I have to get my neulasta shot, pain here we come.
Today. Today I woke up and ate two egg muffins. Got up, dressed, and went out. I had a free gift coupon at Ulta so we went there and I got some new makeup. I had been wanting/needing to get a new wig, so Ruben, Amber and I went to Wig World. I was super nervous, but the woman, who I assume is the owner, was so very wonderful. She helped me pick out and try on a half dozen wigs until we found the one I liked. She trimed the bangs for me and everything. Now this wig was about $75, not terribly expensive but definatly not cheap. Ruben has his card out ready to pay and this wonderful woman says, "You look like my friend...you remind me of her. Can I give this to you as a gift?" I wasn't sure I heard correctly, and I said "i'm sorry, what?" She said, "free, no charge." I hugged her and cried and thanked her. The generosity of strangers touches me. I will definatly be getting another wig there. The kindness I was shown helped brighten my spirits and put me in a better mood. Today was good. Tomorrow will be great.
