So..my mother did a pretty good job.

I should let her do this more often.
This has not been a good chemo cycle so far. Besides being very weak, I am also sick to my stomache and the new meds that they gave me make me sleepy. So. I'm just going to quickly go over some things.
Chemo went well. There really wasn't anything new or interesting. My sister Carol and my cousin Sue came with me. Mom was working the school board vote. (Which by the way was shot down. Honestly people. It's going to cost that much more to have a second vote. There is a little bit of rain and all the Yes votes decide to stay home. I went and voted and I just had chemo. Shame people. Shame) Anyway, mom not being there didn't stop her from checking in. She was on her third call to carol when i finally called her and left a voice mail for her to stop calling. It worked. The first part of chemo was me finishing up reading my new favorite book. "America: the Book" I love Jon Stewart. Anyway, it turned into a read aloud session that kept Carol, Sue and myself occupied for most of the pre chemo. I fell asleep for the chemo itself. When I was finally done and stood up, I think that's when I noticed that this was worse. I felt very weak. And the fun neuropathy. (Say it with me now. Neurrrrrroopathy. It's just fun to say.) This led to mom typing up my blog.
On to Wednesday.
I did my usual post chemo debrief at Amy's and while I was there I played with her new puppy. It was actually very relaxing. I also used the jacuzzi and watched a movie. Then, it was time for my shot. By the time we got to the doctor's office I was feeling really punky. I got my shot and then they perscribed compozine (i don't think i spelled that right. but i'm too lazy to go upstairs and check the spelling) This lovely little wonder drug makes me not want to hurl. For that, I am eternally grateful. It does however, make me very tired. I think I have slept more in this past week then the last two weeks combined. Not to mention, I still feel aweful. I think that it's normal. Denise, the nurse practitioner, said something to this effect, but I was a little out of it, and not really paying attention. Something along the lines of chemo being a cumulative effect and each one being worse. Thank god I only have one left.
I got home and slept forever. Thrusday was pretty much the same thing. I'm fighting the sleepiness today. Mostly because I'm starting to freak people out enough by not blogging that they are calling to make sure that I am okay. I did watch CSI last night. Great episode. I think that's all i got for now. So, some quick notes.
1. The choir concert is on Sunday at 4. If your interested in music you should come. And bring money, because Katrina is organizing a bakesale for afterwards, the proceeds of which will go to American Cancer Society.
2. If you don't want to come to the concert but wish you could have donated $50 or $60 in exchange for a cookie, you could instead go to my Relay for Life link and donate there. If you really want, I'll mail you a cookie.
3. My turtle Phil likes cooked chicken. I know this is an odd thing to post, but I was begining to worry because he wouldn't eat anything. Now i am less worried.
4.Finally...post comments. I'm in need of comments.
Ok. That's all. - Elizabeth
