Eerie Calm Stomach

I feel surprisingly strong right now. My stomach feels nice and I am just a little tired. This morning they started at 11:00 and they dripped, pumped, or pushed in all the same nasty stuff as before. I am backing off the medication a little bit from last time, to see if I can get it at comfortable level while still not vommitting. I was thinking today how I don't like those minty, black Girl Scouts cookies anymore because that is what the round 1 chemo had to throw back up to us into a bowl that barely was big enough.

Two of my players came today to paint my fingernails and to make me a sign while I was hooked up to the poison. I didn't let those punks paint my nails, but the sign was awesome. They visited me for a while until the nurse put some Lorazepam in my IV and I fell asleep by accident and when I woke and looked up with slobber on my face they were gone! I wonder if all of my problems could be fixed with going to sleep :) Haha, actually, they were really fun to have come by, even though I am sure it was incredibly boring for them to sit there, especially when I fell asleep.

When I got back to the Fuller's today I went through all my drugs to get it straight what I'll be taking. Turns out, just in pills, I'll need this:

Emend - antiemmitic (once a day)
Kytril- antiemmitic (new this cycle, morning and night)
Calcium - zometa needs to build bone (morning and night)
Reglan - Undulates stomach, my chemo makes it fall asleep (before food and bed)
Lorazepam - antiemmitc (whenever needed, 2 make me very drowsy)

Plus I have some other backup drugs that you don't want to hear about. OK, like suppositories and stool softeners, I told you that you didn't want to think about those things! No need for those yet, but I'll let you know if I do (just kidding).
