πŸ†β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸ† Dicknations for Sassy! Updates & Get Well Wang πŸ†β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸ†

Next chemo tomorrow. Been a very unpredictable couple weeks. I was kind of hoping there would be some kind of pattern to when I didn't feel good and when I did. But it was pretty much day by day. I have two appointments while I am at Chemo tomorrow. One with my diabetic nurse who is still trying to help me get my blood sugar under control while I get the steroids. And then one with my palliative care doctor.
My brother came by today to visit which was very nice. He lives about an hour or so away from me so these days I don't get to see him as often as I used to. But he was kind enough to bring me flowers.
It has been pretty cold this last week but we've seen glimpses of sun which has been nice. I can see snow in the mountains.
Gorgeous with purple hair, but that beautiful face is what sells it, Sassy. Wonderful that you got to see your brother and the lovely flowers he brought to you! All my best to you and your chemo today along with gigantic hugs!!

SO good to see you, Sassy! With each passing winter a spring will come and can't wait for that sun and warmth to hit you again! But always so happy to read about your progress and cannot wait for you to kick this cancer's butt. Always in my thoughts. πŸ’•
 
Chemo wasn't too bad yesterday. I definitely got a headache and some cramps. The cold Sensations did not take long to kick in. If I remember correctly they lasted several days last time. But I also have to wear this chemo bag for 48 hours after the chemo.

There was a guy in the room yesterday that was so grumpy he was almost unbearable. Everything that happened to him he complained about. He refused to Port which meant that he has to get his IV through a special IV versus going into the port. And he can only use one arm therefore his veins are kind of hard and every time they stuck him he screamed out in pain. Then they asked him about his neuropathy and he started angrily describing that it was horrible and unbearable. Every turn was something for him to complain about and I felt so horrible for the nurses. I told my nurse that I fully expect a lot of emotions in my future including anger and being grumpy and just pissed off at the world. But I hope that I would never ever take it out on the nurses. She told me that they understand and they try not to take it personally and they just try to put themselves in that person's shoes. And this is why I love the nurses.
Ignore the tired eyes.

Most nurses are Saints. Love the purple mask :)

So happy to hear it wasn't too bad, Sassy! Sorry about the pain in the ass guy but glad to hear that you & the nurses are getting along and to see that you're looking SO good!

It takes a very special kind of person to be able to be a nurse. They are angels on Earth.

Hopefully headache and cramps is all you have to deal with... it's annoying enough.

Hey you're rocking that purple mask! πŸ€—

Purple socks and purple mask. I've gotten several compliments on your socks. 😊

Those are technically just day of chemo side effects. The rest of them come in the next two weeks and they are not as a pleasant. I just always thought that while I was getting chemo I would feel the most but the day of chemo and the day after are usually pretty calm. It's almost like when I have the bag on or I'm going through chemo my side effects are less.

Not something to look forward then huh. That sucks, I am sorry. :(

Happy to know that the socks are lifting the mood, and yes, what a perfect match to the mask!

Thankfully this weekend has been pretty tame. I went shopping yesterday. It's really weird shopping for medium clothes vs xlg/2xl. I was 127# this morning so I think I'm finally stabalizing now.

Had some friends stop by to bring us food and offer to play with the goats for a bit. So, I gave them our pumpkins to give them.
