Yesterday was chemo day. I left school about 12:30. Rebecca came and took over my class my Friday and will be there on Monday. I am so happy she is there. My kids love her too. Bonus! It eases my mind knowing she is in charge.
The chemo went as well as could be expected. I came home and relaxed. Ken came home and went to the remodel job and I went to sleep. We had a little excitement then. The sorority girls were leaving for a weekend trip to Dallas, of course I couldn't go. I was sad. Cleo, my sister-in-law was planning to go. So she was packing and doing all that stuff. While shaving her legs she nicked one of those blood vessel that is visible on her shin and she bleed like a stuffed pig. Sorry Cleo, but it was everywhere. Anyway, she got to a phone and called Jane. They were meeting at her house. Jane was afraid to call me because she knew I might be sleeping (and I was), so she called Kevin, Our son, who has done some work foe Jane. So Kevin called his dad who called me. So he picked me up on the way to Cleo's. By the time we got there she had the bleeding stopped. Ken cleaned up the bathroom and I got the rug and lid cover soaking in water. She had done this before and was very cool and knew what to do. We decided it looked like a little boy with a bad aim having fun in her bathroom. Lots of blood was everywhere.
I woke up around 4ish with stomach cramps and a headache. I tried to stay in bed so I didn't bother Ken or Rusty. I turned on the light made a couple of lists, wrote a note to my aunt, and read til daylight. Then Rusty and I came downstairs in search of pills. I can feel the diarrhea coming on. This might not be my favorite day of the week. I think I might doze off for a while. First I want to thank Ann for the encouraging note. She is on top of things always. My neighbors a school are so supportive, I appreciate them so much. I am so lucky too have the support and prayers! I feel blessed - oops gotta go the stomach is moving!
