Chemotherapy and CT Scans

Well, I took last week off, since I was busy dealing with the usual post-chemo stomach churn and other personal things.

This week I was called on Wednesday and had the Therapy appointment moved to 9:15a from 8a, which really didn't bother me too much, since it was only a 2 1/2 hour treatment today. Last week the treatment was pushed back to 11a from 8a and I didn't get into the treatment room until 11:50a last week, this week however I was a little more fortunate and was in at 9:17a. I stopped in the Radiology Dept at the Clinic, since they called to setup an appointment for the CT Scan, which I have on 12/31 at 4p, so that I can got to work and take off after wards. Yes, they gave me the milky white chalk flavoured Prep and the Radiologist mentined that it was Pina Colda flavoured and not that nasty Orange flavour, like the previous preps had been. So, I'll wait to see how bad it tastes and go from there with it. I am suppose to drink the whole bottle down at 1p on Wednesday and not drink anything after wards until after the Scan is completed.

This weekend, on a personal note, we get rid of one child and receive another later in the day. It's looking a lot like Christmas around here with the Snow and Winter Weather Advisory for tonight. I am reminded that this is the first year since the Surgery that I am having to deal with the Cold and Snowy Weather a little more then I've had to. The Neropathy in my hands and feet gets worse with the cold weather and I have to put up relying upon others to open the Plastic Zip Top Storage and Trash Bags for me. Carmen is good about excepting this as being a fact of my life now and so does Noah; to a certain extent, otherwise he'll make a sarcastic remarks about it and I let them slide.

Well, for now I'm starting to get excited about only 2 more Chemo Treatments and the CT Scan coming up, then I see Dr. Schaefer on 1/9 at 8a and I'm going to call the Radiology Dr, Dr. Rubin's Office and let them know that I'm having the CT Scan done and make sure they're on the look out for the Scan Results.

Happy Holidays, y'all!
