I completed my first round of chemo yesterday. It honestly wasn't that bad other than the sedative they gave me to start because it made me dizzy. Next time I won't have that. I was there for 3 hours all told. Came home and ordered some dinner to be delivered because dizziness made me not want to cook. Marietta came over after work and gave me some Reiki. I felt so much better after that. Did have some naseau last night. Drank some Ginger Tea and was in bed by 10:30pm.
This morning we've taken it kind of slow. I feel a bit off and have some naseau. I've thought about taking some of my naseau meds but it stays it can cause dizziness and sleepiness and I have to drive myself to the Dr. later for my Neulasta shot. My copay on this lovely shot is $1645.00 (yes, that's per shot) but at this price I want to be sure I know what I am doing before I attempt to do it myself. The shot is given in the abdomen and I'm pretty sure I can do it since I'm already sticking myself for the Iscador. I'll also talk to Dr. Q. next week about the difference between Neulasta and Nurpon since Nupron is less expensive.
Got a new book in the mail today. It's called Lean Forward into your Life: begin each day as if it were on purpose. Author is Mary ann Radmacher and I have her Live with Intention print in my family room. She says..."an uncommon life need not include fame or fortune. An uncommon life means living with intention, paying attention, celebrating, taking care of yourself, risking love. To live an uncommon life means to live large from the heart."
It's a great day to be alive! What will you do today to move forward in your uncommon life? For me the next few days are about taking care of myself and I think I'll take a bike ride today and enjoy the bounty of Autumn. Peace.
