Oh so sleepy...

             So I've been at my chemotherapy, and radiation treatments for a week now.  So far its bark is louder then its bite. I was terrified the first day I had to lay in a mold, face down, under what looks like an xray machine. Not knowing what it would feel like was definitely the worst part of it.  I actually couldn't feel a thing. Just hear the buzzing of the machine as it moved. They say that it takes a few weeks for the side effects of that to show themselves. Then there is the Chemo.  Getting the pick line (semi-permanent IV) put  in  was  wholly unplesasent.  They numbed my arm with the same stuff the dentist uses, then guided an IV up my shoulder into the center of my chest, GROSS! Then for the chemo, I sat in a chair while they went through all the warnings, and chemical spill instructions (just in case).   The nurse attaches the liquid filled ball to the pick line/IV. "This is going to drip a constant stream of chemo into your blood stream 24/7 for one week. Then you'll come in and have a new one put on, and so on, and so on for 6 weeks". It only took a few days for the side effects of that to kick in.  I'm perpetually tired, nauseated, and dizzy. I don't feel like eating, and nothing tastes good. In short it sucks. Thankfully I have the weekends to myself. Going to the hospital every day gets old really fast.  I can't wait for this round to be over so I can go do something fun.  We're thinking Vegas, I've never been. I'm not much for gambling or clubbing, but I'd really enjoy a show or two. Maybe a nice restaurant.
