PT Time

Been home for 3 weeks doing the PT exercises physical therapist in Chicago had me. After waiting, I finally got into physical therapy Wednesday.
Legs and ankles are still weak, so I can't wait to get started.  Gonig to be a long process, but I'm up for it.

Time To Go HOME

After being discharged only on thing left to do, labs on Monday.  On Tuesday we flew out of Midway back to HOUSTON.  Flying back went pretty smooth,  except for the TSA fell up.  Was wearing my skull cap, and they made me remove it,  and they didn't even check it.
After 3 hour flight, we finally made it home, and it's tine for dinner, WHATABUGER TIME!!!
How I missed my bed...

Day +10

I got my 2 am lab results back, and nurse said all my numbers were  up, and if Dr. Burt liked my numbers I could be discharged. Dr. Burt wanted the nurse to give me my nuepogen shot early, and check my numbers at 2 pm and if my numbers are good I could be discharged!
Packed my stuff, and got my PICC out finally and was discharged!
Thank you to all the nurses great care of me during the day.
Thank you to PT Crystal for getting me up and moving about.
Dr. Burt, Kelly, and Amy did a wonderful job.

6 Days of Chemo

Day 1 went pretty good, till they up the rate of my chemo. Felt like my head was on fire. They slowed down the rate and gave me benadryland that made it better.
Day 2 went pretty well, minus all the peeing.
Day 4 my immune system started dropping and I was feeling wiped out and weak. Chemo messing with my eyes. Nothing tasted good and nothing sounds good to eat. Tried the chef's lunch special, it wasn't bad, till the diarrhea up at midnight. nothing imodium couldn't fix.
Days 5 and 6 lazy days aka benadryl days.
