Post-Op Treatment #1
Posted by chrissy | Filed under Uncategorized
Well, thank God that one is over…it really wasn’t all that bad I suppose. It was weird walking in there and getting treatment again…it has been 3 months since my last treatment. I was scared and nervous, it kinda felt like my first time again. I think that is mainly because I didn’t know what to expect of the lower dose. I knew how I would feel, but I didn’t know how I would react to this treatment. It was hard to have to walk in that chemo room again. The nurses were all nice and happy to see me, but I could do without. The treatment was shorter, I don’t know if that was the reduction in dosage or what…but any extra time away from the center is well welcomed here. I actually was pretty much myself throughout all of this treatment, which was a nice change. I was tired, but not as druged out. I went in for disconnect and fuilds on Friday and actually slept for a little over an hour, which is really hard to do in that chemo room…I really must have been tired. I came home and went right to the couch where I stayed for the rest of the day and Saturday too. Sunday was a good day actually…I woke up tired and with a headache, but as that went away I just wanted to get out. We went out to Fort Snelling State Park and hiked and then had lunch together. It was very nice…in life I think I forget how nice it is to just spend time with my husband and not worry about anything else (well other then running low on energy). He always seems to find the thing that makes everything better and feel normal, even if it only lasts for a small while. I truely love him for that…he is absolutely amazing.
One treatment down….4 to go!!!! Let’s hope that they all go this well. September 9th can not come soon enough :)
