Post-Op Treatment #2 & 3
Posted by chrissy | Filed under Treatment Updates
I know…I’m failing on keeping everyone updated. Sorry :(
Treatment #2: Everything went pretty good. I did get a little nausea when I was leaving the doctor’s but all in all, everything went well. I got out of the house on that Saturday for the annual Softball party for a few hours…which was nice. Too bad that I only made it to 9pm and then it was time to go to bed. Oh well. We got out and did some running around on Sunday and that always makes me seem to feel a little better. I’m not sure what it is, but just hanging out with my husband and doing those everyday errands make me feel normal for a few hours, which is so needed right now.
I definitely have to tell everyone that I may make all this seem easy and like a cake walk, but it so is not. The closer it gets to being done with this, the harder things are getting. I think it’s because I can see the end and I can finally let everything out, which seems to be directed at my husband. He’s been absolutely amazing through all this, especially now that I seem to have lost it a little bit lately. I will get back to normal, just need some time to deal now I think.
Treatment #3: Well, this treatment was sooo much fun. I had a really early appointment so I was ready to get out of there earlier than normal. However, when do things ever work in my favor. My platelet counts were lower than desired this time, 64,000 when they shoudl be 100,000. I got treatment, which is good I guess. However, I got nausea during my treatment and couldn’t really est much. I had to get extra drugs to feel better. Thursday and Friday I had to stay on top of my drugs so I would feel alright. I didn’t really eat all that much during this treatment schedule. I am feeling a little better today (Saturday). We got out for a little bit, but my energy is way low. I hope this isn’t a sign of what’s left to come. I only have two left and I just want to get them over and done with. I’m not saying that not having them wouldn’t be great…I mean honestly who in their right mind would want to have to go through all this shit. I just want to have the last two to prove I can get through them…these 5 post-op are my insurance policy after all. The nice thing is that I don’t have to worry about not making all of them, because they won’t force it. When my body is done, it’s done.
