Today was my 32 appointment which means I only have 9 more of these guys left. I feel horrible, but that's to be expected for a Wednesday. Treatment was relatively painless today so that was good. My co-worker was going to take me but her kiddos got sick and were throwing up so she opted to stay home. My other friend came to the rescue and took off the day and filled in. Thank goodness for friends!!
We got in and they took my vitals. Everything is pretty much the same. I'm gaining weight (yuck) but the doctors are not concerned. It's all of 4 pounds, but it still stresses me out. My favorite nurse wasn't able to come in today so I had one of my not-preferred nurses. Don't get me wrong, she's really nice. However, accessing the port is not something she is good at. She poked and it didn't feel right so she kept moving the needle. Like jabbing a needle that's over an inch long into your chest feels good? I can get over it. However the digging seriously hurts. After a little bit she finally got it in. While she was digging she kept saying "just keep calm". OOOOOOOOK. Tomorrow we'll switch and I'll jab the needle in you and you keep calm. At least she got the thing in finally.
After the treatment was done, they went to get my discharge paper and all of my favorite nurses came in to sing Happy Birthday to me. It was super sweet. They had a present for me and a balloon. I love going to a children's hospital. Two of the nurses have birthdays on Friday so it was fun to see them. I really feel like some of the nurses are my friends and while I'm happy to almost be done, I'm going to miss them.
We finally made it home and I slept all afternoon. I love nap time. My stomach is a wreck but I'm hoping by laying still that it will stop hurting. I had a chat with my body today. It was yelling at me for giving it nasty drugs. I said that if it would stop growing tumors, that I would stop putting bad chemicals in it. I think it's a fair trade.
