5 to go!!!

Bed at 11:30 last night, up again at 1:30..bed at 2, up at 3:45 so why not just stay UP???
Today went so good.
Left house at 6:15...Denny wanted quick bite to eat..stopped at Hardee's...where fuel for body was gotten. Chatted for awhile as appt with Dr.P was at 8:45..so had time to spare.
Still got to RM at 7:20...took shot and meds..FELL ASLEEP and woke with JERK too..
See I was tired...only sleep I got so far today : (
When in to see nursed I was asked if I had any pain...said yes...she wanted to know what hurt..
"SHINGLES" I replied..."EVERYWHERE"scale was about 8..not sleeping, achy, sharp pains etc., under left arm pitt, sores around side at bra height, veins achy from sores., pain in shoulder blade. list went on.
Dr. P wanted a look at them...he was surprised...as they had gotten much worse..said I was to go on meds til end of chemo for them..
So new med to add to my list of many is:ACYCLOVIR or should I say :"Zovirax -brand name.
Used to treat outbreaks of chickenpox and help prevent infection spread to other parts of body/organs and persistent pain after sores heal..
Get to take 2 a day til chemo is over....yea...I am just a drug popper I guess.
Drug list is 5 pages long again, even tho Dr P took afew things out like the coumadin being I'm doing Lovenox shots for blood thinning.
We stopped steroids as he wanted to know about my swelling...D & I both explained how I would begin to look like a Sumo Wrestler and be an homebody til bloating was down..
So steroids that they add during chemo were stopped, and i am to keep eye on self at home..If I start gaining fluid I am to call in...So will keep an eye on it. Also didn't recieve all the liquid IVs that they usually give to keep you from dehydrating...which is usually an hr worth of an IV..so went without that today...
Got in and set up about 9:30 as we had to wait for a room..kinda had the 2nd shift what with Dr appt first and all..they are every 3 weeks. L was nurse today at RM Infusion center..
Got me set up and we were in and out by 12:20...so treatment was alot shorter than what i thought it would be.
Told everyone we would see them next Friday..and left..good to say 5 to GO..
Stopped back at Hardees for bite..then The Prescription Shop to get meds to get them going..
Am to push the fluids..not a problem..
Lord willing these meds will help with aches etc..
Mentioned that Sandy's cancer went to her bones. Dr. P felt so bad about that..told me that is why we are treating mine so aggressively also...as he doesn't want to find it there either.
So today was a good day...very good day..
Treatment was short..in and out...conversation was good with Den and few nurses that stopped in..had laptop with so played on that for a bit just to see how it went..which was good. Its a heavy laptop tho..nice..to have.
Got meds for shingles to help with them..didn't know there was something out there to use..
Thank goodness Den got the shot for them about a month ago..
One can get it at age 6o and over..he got his at the VA...
TODAYS ANOTHER GOOD DAY...
