Today turned out okay. It all began with a good sleep. Well, two good sleeps.
Sleep number 1: I got home last night just after ten pm. The research manager was sound asleep in front of the TV. She sort of roused when I called her name and went back to sleep. I went off to do my blog and then for a soak. At 11:45, the research manager woke up and called out looking for me. Where was I? Asleep in the bath tub!
Sleep number 2: I then slept all night with no interruptions. The research manager said that I was snoring pretty loudly and gave me her imitation when I woke up this morning.
On the way to chemo, I learned that I could get a free deep fried Twinkie at Long John Silvers. I do not understand why the research manager did not stop there.
I was offered stronger pain pills for the shingles by nurse practitioner, Heather. I will get them, but was disappointed that they are not addictive, thus depriving me of a money making opportunity.
Chemo went fine but long because of a long discussion about the future. The results of the blood and urine tests were good. I was particularly pleased with a good jump in my white blood cell count. Thank you, Beta Glucan.
In three weeks, I will have a petscan and we will then make decisions about the future. Meanwhile, there is a lot of research and thinking to do.
The suspense will mount. It is enough to keep my blood pressure high where I can see it.
