Day 2 - Cycle 1

Not as nervous for day 2. I slept great through the night, even though I woke up every 2 hours, I felt like I had slept a long time. After Tabby & I had breakfast, we spent some time with our pets and before we knew it, it was time to go.

Uncle Jim brought me today. This is a great way to get people to spend more time with you but I wouldn't suggest it for just that reason.

MD Anderson has 2 floors for treatment (#5 & #8). I have now been on both. Yesterday, we were in the 4 person suite on the 5th floor and today we are in a double room on the 8th floor. This double room seems a little nicer but we are closer to the other patient so, it feels like less privacy... especially when they start throwing up. My nurse today is Heather and she doesn't stay in here the whole time, I guess her desk is out in the hall somewhere. Anyway, I brought my computer today and I am typing this as they pump fluids in me. So, if I stop making sense, you'll know why. I am also having to type with one hand because of the IV. The nurse said the Chemo will build up and I will feel worse later in the week. Good to know, although I was really hoping the first day was a sign of how it will always be for me. I can still believe that if I want to. As for this IV thing, I can't wait for the port. I don't have the best veins for needles and the nurse had trouble getting a vein today. She poked me twice and I still have 3 days to go. I am going to be a pin cushion by Friday.
Actually, this experience has been pretty relaxing so far, even Uncle Jim enjoyed himself. Here is a portrait of him enjoying himself. Can you see his enjoyment? Look closely, it is there. He could be on the cover of a magazine for "Misty's Relaxing Get-a-way".

Over-all, another good day. I am now home and still feel fine. Tabby is getting out the cards again as I finish this blog. I am expecting to have another good night sleep and start all over again tomorrow.
