No infusions the Platelets dropped to 21 which is not to bad & my White Blood Cell Count went from .8 to .9.
I was very tired today, I think the Chemo has started to catch up with me a little bit. I stayed in bed until breakfast came & got back in bed afterwards. I made myself get up & change my bed around 2pm. It took forever, almost an hour, I started to sweat & had to keep sitting down. I got my clothes out for a shower & got my arm wrapped when my mouth started watering & I felt real nauseous. I asked for a pill since my arm was wrapped the nurse wasn't gone a minute & I puked my guts up. I filled up the bottom of the trash can with tomato soup & orange juice. Do you got a nice visual yet...LOL it was soooo nasty.
I was very wore out after that but I felt so nasty I went ahead & brushed my teeth & took a shower. I laid down until 10pm but would not let myself sleep. I knew if I fell asleep during the day I would be up all night & the time goes too slow at night.
Marcus is sick. His nose will not stop running he sounds like Bozo the Clown on the phone :)
I told him DO NOT come see me. He is beating himself up, I told him to get well & get over it, there is nothing he can do & I can get my moral support over the phone. Betsey called & she is sick too so I told her DO NOT come up until she is sure she is over it. She was going to call Katie, since she cannot bring her up now. If Kim brings her girls up this week I will see if Katie can come with them.
Zack & Misty's Birthday is Friday. Can you believe Zack will be 6? How old will Misty be... I'll never tell:)
News Flash, My head was shaved last night. When I got out of the shower there was a bit of hair in the drain, but when I brushed it, the brush was full... I put the clippers on 3 and went to town. The Primary Care Attendant (PCA) stayed in to make sure I did not cut myself & then she cleaned up the back a little. I cleaned up the hair that was in my bed I did not realize how much had fell out before I got the shower. I did not want the shock of huge handfuls falling out at once. It was just better to do it on my terms. Needless to say I am not quite a bald eagle yet but I look a little like GI Jane.
Paula Parker is coming up to see me in the morning plus I get the Post Chemo - Day 14 Bone Marrow Biopsy tomorrow to see if we got it in remission. It should take between 48 & 72 hours to get the results back so keep your fingers crossed. The Doc seems to think it will be gone so I hope so!

Morning GI Sandi,
Sorry all those drugs are taking a toll on you but hopefully the docs are right and you'll be in remission. Hope Marcus & everyone gets better soon. Happy Birthday to Zack & Misty, Ivy's Birthday is saturday....never realized they were a day apart. I can't believe how big all the kids are getting, how time flys and we all get older! I hope you have a better day and I'll be thinking and praying for you to get the results we all want for you.
I love you!!
Hi Babe...I'm so sorry you are starting to get really sick !!!! I bet you look beautiful with little or no hair. Like I said, it will probably grow back red !!!! I Put dinner on the stove last night and retreated to my bedroom...the change in the weather is starting I had to be on my machine last night for the first time in a long time. I caught Spike trying to pee in the kitchen this morning so I picked him really fast and took him outside....I caught him in time so I think he got the picture ! I told him this morning we were going to have to come to an understanding because today I have asthma and can't stand outside with him forever.....he looked at me as if to say, "whanna bet". Zack was very good this morning....he looks in his lunch box everyday before he leaves to see what I packed for him. This morning he said to me "Grandma you didn't give me any junk food", so we settled on a cookie to be added to his box. ha...he is so funny. I was going to fix a roast and mashed potatoes today for you but it looks like Marcus won't feel like eating and I'm not sure if you would or not and noone to take it to you anyway....so let me know Sweetheart !!! Ron Richmond needs a motorcycle like he needs a hole in the head......( just between you and me........)I bet you will be in remission, I'll just bet you will !!! You hang in there Honey, I think of you all the time, spring will be here soonly !!! Thanks "Aunt Lynn !!! " Much love, Misty

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACK & MISTY!
Luv Ya Sis! Pixie & Oatmeal
Mom-
Hey...I heard you're sick. Are you feeling well? I wanted to come see you , but no one is feeling good. But that's alright, I don't mind at all.
I can always see you some other time. I hope you feel better.
(Waves to you and smiles)
Hi Sweetie.........
Yes, it's official, I'm sick. UGH!! But I won't complain because you my friend, are going through much more that a runny nose and a cough. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there with you while you felt so bad, it's the Mom in me. My kids say that one of their best memories when the were little was me holding their hair back when they threw up and wiping their forehead with a wet wash cloth. I wish I could have done that for you. :(
I'm so sorry that I can't bring Katie down this week, maybe this weekend, I hope!!
I just got off the phone with Misty, she isn't beeling well at all. Her asthma is really kicking her but. I noticed that I was also having problems with my breathing today. I got some medicine and am going to curl up on the couch for the rest of the evening. Paul said he's stop by on his way home from work to see if I need anything, the least he can do since I got this CRAP from him!! (kidding).
I'm so sorry about your hair....I guess we knew it was coming but I was so hopeful!! But......if that bone marrow biopsy comes back the tells us that you are in remission, loosing the hair is so worth it!!!
Well Sweetie, I'm going to lay down. I love you!

Heard you talked to Kevin tonight, he stopped by. That guy is a hoot. I will be up to see you tomorrow and I will bring up Kate and my girls. Hope you are feeling better this evening. Donnie is doing better since he had cigs. Like you and I talked this isnt his time to quit. I hope Misty and Marc and the kids are getting better, I will check on them when I pick up Kate, Let her know I will be coming to get her. I will call you tomorrow at lunch time as normal. Have to fold some more clothes , my work here is never done. HA+_+HA, Before I forget Hillbilly from Columbus says to tell you hello and he hopes you get better. He said sorry about not making it up to see you but has been so busy with work, but he is thinking of you. Well better get. See you tomorrow.
LOL
