Most of you are probably amazed at how my daughter is sleeping. This is not a usual thing or a good thing. In the last week or so she has started sitting herself up. She does the splits like this and pushes herself up. It is very bad for her hips. But it was cute and I had to take a picture.


What a day today! I started it out once again waking up before the sun was up, in pain. So I once again came upstairs for a potty break and some ibuprofen. Played on facebook a little and went back down to bed for an hour or so. I had to wake up early (again) on my day off because I had 4 appts today! All for myself! Usually it is 4 appts in one day for Irelynn. Since I had surgery yesterday I couldn't drive this morning so Frankie dropped me off at the eye doctor before he went to work. My appt there was at 8:00. I made plans for Karin to pick me up there at about 9:00. She made it in time to help me pick out new glasses! I should get them next week. I have been getting sick of these ones. It's been 2 years.


From there we went and got very much deserved mochas :) Then it was up to the Oncologists office for Chemo school. I wanted someone with me to help me remember everything and I know Frank is going to be asking for a lot of time off so I asked my sister to go with me. It was very informative and ALOT of questions were answered. A chemo cycle is every 28 days but a cycle consists of 2 treatments. One every other week. Which is what I expected but the scheduler lady had me all confused. I don't think she knew what she was talking about. She isn't the "normal scheduler". I was told that I can no longer take Ibuprfen or aspirin. This is going to SUCK. As Frank says, I eat Ibuprofen like it is candy. I think they are going to send me back to my primary to get better relief for my sciatica. They also gave me a script for a wig! That surprised me.


From there we went to Target and Shopko and I got myself 4 hats! It was pretty fun. Then we went to lunch.


At 2:00 I had a PFT test to check my lungs and at 2:45 I had an EKG to check my heart. Some of the meds I will be on CAN cause heart disease and something with the lungs. So they wanted to see how they were doing to see how long I could be on the meds. I do have lungs and I do have a heart. No matter what some people say.


I finally got home to my babies at about 4:30. What a long day. I am feeling pretty good today as far as emotions go. Where my port was placed is a little tender. I thought I was allergic to the iodine they put on me before surgery, but since I told them that yesterday and they didn't use it and I still broke out, we are leading towards me being allergic to the tagaderm (bandage) that was placed over the incisions.


Well, I am getting to the point where I just want to go to bed. My wonderful hubby should be home any minute now and I am looking forward to seeing him. I am so lucky to have him.
