Stoked!

I am so stoked!!! It's better than a four leaf clover! Let me explain...I have been looking for my HP disk for months because I have been having issues with my computer vs the printer. We looked everywhere. It wasn't like me to lose something like that. I keep that stuff together. So we thought we were going to have to order a new disk. So I thought I'd check under the keyboard one more time. Low and behold, there it was face down in the sleeve under a folder I placed there for safe keeping. I must not have looked under the folder all this time. I am so relieved.

Feeling a bit better today. But not out of the woods.

Happy Birthday to Me~

Happy Birthday to me!

Couldn't go out with Hans to eat being I was still having trouble eating.  This is all from that last chemo. 

Jennifer came over with baby Story.  She is so adorable.  That was the best present.

Lost 5 lbs.~

I have the best-est husband. Gotta go eat. Since I can't get much down it's soup!!! Lost 5 lbs already since Monday.

Being I don't know how long it will take before I heal from this nightmare, I will be taking one online class and a leave of absence from the campus. Law and Ethics. So relieved the school is working with me on this.

I can't believe I cried like a baby when I had to talk to the counselor. I want to complete what I started. Being a 4.0 student I was able to get set up with an online class.  I will probably be out till the chemo is done.

Another Day of Pain~

Off to another day of school. Have to still be driven. Feel better, but my hands still hurt like a son-of-a-gun! Have a great day everyone.

Not too well~

My husband could not have taken a better week for vacation. He is driving me to school. Safety first!

Oh the pain~Went to the doctor's after school. Hans had to drive me and pick me up. It is so great a feeling when someone validates your pain is real. The doctor is not going with the same chemo treatment after seeing my hands. He said I had a bad reaction to this and we would not be using it again. So instead of 3 more treatments I will have 9 more and they will be every week. There is no antidote for what is happening to my hands, so I have to just wait it out. Thank goodness my husband is off work this week.

Seen Doctor Bolla.  Definitely not going to have the Taxotere anymore.  He hadn't seen this happen in years.  Neither has the nurses that give me the treatment.

Red Hands~

Today hasn't been the best. Not at all. The new medicine they gave me in Chemo #5 is not being very pleasant. My hands hurt worst than they did all last night. I haven't been on here till now because I was afraid of hurting them more. Ice didn't help. I don't know how I will be able to go to school if this is going to be the side effect for this medication. Another L.O.A perhaps? I do have to finish this week to get my grade for the second MOD. Hans has been great through it all. He wanted to take me to breakfast, I couldn't do it. Ugh.

My hands got redder and redder.  They were hurting so bad.  I put the lotion on and a pair of white gloves.  I rested all day.  I couldn't do much with my hands.
