Boy, did that ever have a different meaning in my younger years....anyway, today is Joann's birthday and let's just say she's 39 and change...change from a 20 that is.Yesterday's cocktail went well due in no small part to having my favorite nurse, Robin there for the poke. Robin was my first infusionist when all this began last November and came up with the "go to your happy place" phrase. Funny how more comfortable and relaxed I am around people I trust. Five hours later I was out the door. I made an appt with Robin for my Feb 2nd cocktail promising her Joann's brownies as a bribe.
No adverse side effects so far and I hope they don't appear at all. Just have to be concious of running a temp - infections are a no-no with low WBC counts. The doctor's harp about it all the time - must be something I don't want to experience. Thought I was running one this morning but it turned out Jo had a hot flash last night and threw all the covers on my side - problem solved - temp @ 98.6.
Jo and Deb are going shopping again today so Ric and I better cash in the empties... It's a gorgeous winter day, I hope you all get a chance to enjoy it. Talk to you again soon -
