Yesterday I spoke with the nurse and all but begged her to pleeeeese give me a heavier dose of meds.
They agreed to my request, and today I got a double dose of what I had last time. Oh happy day!
Paula picked me up early this morning. I was still shakin' in my boots (literally) even though I knew I'd be getting more drugs. I was pretty certain there was no dose strong enough to satisfy me! But, it was do-able this time. Not a cake walk, but do-able. I hope this will be the last one for a very long while. So, my cries were heard as well as many of your prayers.....Thank you to all the "prayer warriors" out there! As Paula wheeled me out of the hospital I was of course feeling much relief. We passed a little kiosk with some goodies and I thought..... well, we could both use a little reward. A cup of hot coffee, and...ssshhhhh...a donut! I felt like I was 5 again, and just like the old days of being rewarded after an event at 31 Flavors with my favorite ice cream cone, that treat was just what the doc ordered!..... Oh, life is good! It's just the "little things" sometimes isn't it?!
I got home and crashed for 2 and a half hours. That was a reward in itself, and I'm feelin' pretty fine at the moment! Tomorrow I head back for heart and lung tests. The lung test is at "nuclear medicine".....now, I don't know much in the field of medicine, but that just doesn't sound right, does it!
I'm told I'll be on a treadmill for part of the testing, and that'll be interesting as I'm gimping from room to room right now! But hey, after today - I could gimp a marathon!
I should be finding out the results of today's biopsy by Friday afternoon.....and we'll go from there!
So thank you all for being with me today in your thoughts and prayers and.....why don'tcha all go find a "little somethin" to appreciate, and enjoy yourselves!!
Big hugs!!
Laurel
