Ugh

I do not understand how my ca125 can go down so much and my tummy swells so much. My weight is up but it is fluid because I am not eating much. My stomach is hard and uncomfortable and in the way. The pain pills make me cranky. I am going to suffer today because I do not want to be all buzzed when I get blood drawn. The iPad just fell back from my chest and gave me a bloody lip. I am laying on my back typing. I almost chunked it across the room but it cost too much. Ouch. Rid ignored me today. He stole a bra and was hauling ass around the house and then was happily resting in leslie's lap. They are out running their 2 miles before it gets too hot. I on the other hand am tired of laying in bed but don't feel like doing anything else. Maybe I will snap out of it. Chemo #5 is Thursday. I hope it doesn't kick my ass. My white blood count is low so I might have to have a nulasta shot. I am a little scared about that one. It makes your bones hurt. We will go to mom's wed. Rid can play with Charlie and ginger, his favorite dogs and he can see Stella Jane and Harris, his 2 favorite kids. He has celebrity status in derby hills! Lol! ok no more news. Cross your fingers I can eat today! Peace out.

    I am glad to hear about your CA125, but hate what you are going through otherwise.

    We brought you some peaches from Carolina. They smell wonderful. Just let me know when you want them.

    Love,
    Su

  2. Charlie is anxiously awaiting a visit from his favorite playmate. They run, jump and tumble together and are ever soooo cute. Wishing you a better day and glad Leslie is back. Give everyone a big hug for me today.

  3. The neulasta bone pain only lasts a couple of days at most. The pain pills should get rid of the pain. Pain means it is working and your body is producing new white cells.

    Good thoughts to you...
