September 5, 2017- Week 5 Day 1-Chemo/Radiation

Starting the Week with Fighting Gloves On This entry will only have one complaint. My knees hurt. But alas, I think I'm just getting old. Ha ha. Anyway, in case you didn't notice all my other posts my folks are here! They came in time for dinner Saturday and are staying through Saturday. Then they'll be getting the heck outta dodge before hurricane Irma remnants hit the fan. They're going to celebrate my birthday with me, and my mom will be going with me to treatments for the rest of the week. So today was my long day of treatment and the nasty chemo. As if some chemo meds are nice? Whatthefuckever. Anyway, I arrived first for radiation at 7:55 and was at chemo by 8:25, and finished up lots of bags of stuff around 3:00ish. The rest of the week radiation and chemo combined will only be about 3 hours total. I know that as the week goes on I will become more tired and blah but I'm focused on the right now right now. It's my last full week of chemo, then one more long day then done! My folks and kids and Mark have been giving me a couple presents every day for my birthday since Saturday. I've been feeling quite special and loved. I should've asked for a cap for my bald head that looks like or is built into a tiara. 👑 Seriously though, as much as I looove presents, just having them all here with me has been the best present I could ever ask for, and the best medicine for me right now. In just 17 days my sweet princess will be here for a visit as well and I'm counting that down as well. I don't care if I sound like a dork but love your people people! It doesn't matter what you have, how much you have, how smart you are, if you're a rockstar EMT (ahem yep thanks), or anything else. When shit gets real it's only your people who you need and can really carry you through. So that's it for this entry, see y'all on Day 5!
