Day 43

Day 43

Chemotherapy session #2!
Anthony's turn to stay with the boys at home!
JoAnn and momma wanted to come with me.
Appt was at 9:15 am.
They did labs to make sure my white blood counts were ok to have chemo.
Then there was a lot of sitting around.
I got VERY impatient!
This waiting for chemo really boils my already boiling chops!
I mean come on!
Make an anxious RHINO more anxious is NOT a good idea!
Steer clear!
So pacing began!
I finally asked, "Is it my turn yet?"
They say, "Well after labs you go right back to the chemo room!"
Are you kidding me? Why the hell would you not tell me that!
So we went to the back around 11:30!
I stood there for a couple of minutes lookin like a lost pissed off RHINO!
Then asked a nurse, "What do I do?"
She says, "Pick a chair!"
WTH
Ok. So I pick a chair and proceed to sit there for 30 more minutes!
They explain they have a new computer system and only two nurses on staff.
I explain I have MAJOR anxiety, it's only my second time having chemo and I still have no clue what I am doing!!!!

Then I finally get prepped and plugged in.
Awww drugs!

JoAnn had to leave for the airport after about a half hour!
SAD!
But then we pick up my Grandma Pat from the airport as soon as I finished chemo!
I LOVE having my family here to help!
We all do!
Leaving chemo I felt great! All smiles in the back of the convertible!!! =)
In full Grandma Pat fashion she comes bearing gifts!
The boys got new Toy Story PJ's!
Matching...soooo cute...



And I got four handmade hats and 3 more comfy blankets for me or others I meet along the journey!
She definitely knows how to sew with love!

And my cousin Heidi sent along some shirts she had made for the boys....ADORABLE!

BOYS HOPE TOO!




Ok time for some sleepy time tea.....off to bed early!
