Seems like I haven't logged on in awhile. This round of chemo was better in some aspects (nausea and fatigue)but I had other issues that has had me layed up until today. Thursday pm I started having bad abdominal cramping and called my Oncologist. Once again he prescibed another drug and a sweet neighbor went and picked it up for me. Jim and the kids were at Kelly's flag football award ceremony (something else I missed). The pills helped alittle but by last night I was in so much pain that I called my Oncologist and my Surgeon. I felt like I was having bad labor pains. I was told to take some pain pills that I still had from my surgery and if not better in an hour to head straight to the ER. They both mentioned having a scan for blockage, etc. That was the longest hour in history especially because it was after 2am. The pain finally eased up after an hour and I decided not to go to the ER. I am really weak and tired today but am feeling better then I have been. I hate seeing all the pill bottles in my bathroom. It is just a daily reminder that I am sick. I told mom the other day that I hate taking drugs, being poisoned (chemo), being chauffeured to doctors appointments and being dependant on others for things! I want my life back! I know that I need to press on suck it up. I had plans to go to the Beth Moore convention with my mom, sister in law and her sister but I was not feeling well enough to go. I was bummed I missed it but glad that I was able to sell my ticket and someone else was able to go in my place. The kids are on spring break this week and my goal is to do something fun with them out of the house. The fair is in town this week and it opens on Thursday, I hope to be there.
