4 down, 31 to go.
Yesterday after radiation #3 I had chemotherapy #1.
When they hooked me up, they first put some drugs in that they said would prevent the nausea that sometimes accompanies the chemo. The nurse said I wouldn't have it until 7-10 days later.
Then the second nurse that was talking to me said that it would delay the nausea for 2-3 days.
Last night I took Zeke and Zara to visitation for a girl they knew from school. This is the second person they knew to pass away in less than a week. A person they knew where we used to live was killed in a shooting over the weekend. Then this person died in a car accident. They wanted to go, and I need to be more active than I have been. We stood in line for an hour and 45 minutes. I had forgotten how many people turn out for visitation for someone so young. It was hot. I was sweating. I started leaking from my incision.
After we got home, I just wanted to go to bed. I didn't want any supper, I didn't want anything to drink. Just to lay down and relax.
And I slept pretty good. I woke up once or twice but that's pretty normal. When it was time to get up, I jumped out of bed, got dressed, took Yvette and the childrens to school, took Brayden to the babysitter, and headed to my radiation appointment.
They were running a little bit behind. But I got done. When I sat up afterwards, I felt a little dizzy. But it passed. Went out, got one a dip, got in the van, and went to the store to see if I could find some tank tops.
By the time I got to the store, I was feeling a little nauseous. I got me some pepto-bismol. That helped some. Then I got home, picked up the anti-nausea pills picked up Brayden and sat down.
I'm drinking Gatorade, I've had 2 of the Boost supplements since I didn't eat last night or this morning. As long as I'm sitting, I'm okay. When I get up and move, I feel nauseous.
I think I'm seasick. When I go retrieve children from school, I'm going to see if I can get one of those bands and see if it helps.
Pray for me. Thanks!
