Day +7

Dear Family and Friends,

Feeling pretty sleepy and woozy because of the liquid pain medicine that I have to take due to the mouth sores in my throat. The liquid pain meds help me to have some appetite. My day starts with getting to the oncology outpatient office by 9:30 or so (depends on when the Dr. can see me) I have all my vitals checked and blood drawn for testing. Take a seat in a lounger with my little support group of Pam-day 5 and Shianna -day 9-I wait for the hook-up of fluids. We wait for our daily results to see if we only get fluids, more meds-platelets or blood. Not to exciting and I'm not too perky through this. Usually done around 1 or so and head home for a light lunch---then straight to bed till around 6---and then a light dinner--took me an hour to eat a baked potato with chopped chicken last night but I have found if I eat slowly it stays down-yes the hair is going but the strands are in fighting mode--hanging on!
