Today was my chemo. day.  I have had several people that said I was heavy on their hearts and that they stopped what they were doing to pray…I know that is why things went so smoothly.  They got my port with very little trouble.  They had to use a long needle but they numbed me first with an ice pack.  They stuck me once and only had to dig a little deeper twice before they hit it right on.  Once it was taped down there were no more problems!!  Thank God for that!  I always feel yucky when they pump the meds in so that was nothing new.  I mainly tried to sleep to avoid that gross feeling.  When we got home Bill’s mom had prepared a wonderful home cooked meal so I wouldn’t have to worry about dinner.  It was great because right now I still have an appetite…so I ate it all.  I had to have a little shot of inculin first because my sugar was up to 198…that is better than previous times where it was 256.  Bill did a great job and I didn’t even feel it. All in all it was a fairly routine chemo day if there is such a thing.  Thanks for all the prayers and concerns…now to avoid infections for the next three weeks!  My white count shot is Wednesday then the bone pain comes right after.  It appears to have worked last time since my white count is in the low normal range now.  My red count went up on it’s own…so no shots needed.  I hate to admit it but I think the extra week did me good :)  I guess that is why I am not God! 

I AM HALF WAY!!!!  THAT IS A MILESTONE…ONLY THREE MORE TIMES….
