Ten for Tuesday

1. The kids came over for their weekend visit with us. It was very quiet and peaceful all week long. We ordered Chinese food on Friday night.

2. On Thursday night I went to my husband bpm with my good friend Heather. I wasn't feeling good and took a turn for the worse as the meeting progressed.

3. I ended up calling the doctor and getting a prescription called in over the phone. I left that evening in tears. My friend came over to care for me for a few hours. She drove me to the grocery store and to Walgreen's to pickup some medication.

4. The following morning was even worse that the night prior. I was crying in agony! I had my husband call the doctor's office and they couldn't get me in until 2pm. I was blessed that they called me back in and got me into an earlier appointment 10:30am. I had to leave immediately and I had to drive an hour to get there.

5. Once I was there I couldn't stop puking my guts out. I had to bring a small bucket into the car and luckily I did becase I needed it. Poor Frank had to cancel all of his appointments for that day to care for me.

6. I arrived to the doctor and he told me that I have bad mouth sores from the chemo. He hooked me up to an IV and I took in about 2 hours of fluids and antinausea medication. I was having a hard time keeping anything down in the stomach.

7. I have been fighting this all week long and have been forcing myself to eat food. It's so painful to eat anything but know I need to in order to rebuild my blood count which is very low.

8. Last night I actually had the desire to eat and started to feel a little bit better. Keep me in your prayers!

9. I missed my echocardigram this morning and I had to re-schedule for next wednesday. I pushed back my chemo treatment next week by 15 minutes. I hope my heart has not been affected by the chemo.

10. I received a new calling on Friday night to be the Primary Secratary. I had to leave church early so I will get set apart next week.
