Promethian Pottasium Pills
I think I have escaped the nausea stage from the chemo unscathed. Now, since my pottasium levels are low, I get to attempt to ingest these mammoth pottasium pills that are so large that the giant antibiotic pills shrivel in fear at the sight of their monstrous counterparts. If the antibiotic pills crushed the bacterium with their fat bill-behinds, then these pottasium pills must roll through like tanks obliterating all infidels. The sign on the side of the giant pottassium pills says "do not chew or crush, you must suffer excruciating pain while our absurdly sized pill slowly creaks down your throat lining it with extra-important pottasium streaks."
I am surprised this round of chemo that I feel pretty decent. Something is definitely not quite right though, maybe that would be the fact that I have about 3 lbs of mostly toxic chemicals swarming throughout my body.
My leg feels great though. I tried swimming laps and I am good to go. I am set up with a physical therapist coming up soon so that I can start strengthening the muscles. I think I will get strong enough to become an Ultimate Fighter or a Gang member. Next up on my list is in a couple of weeks I have a PET/CT scan to see if the little dots on my back and chest change in size, and we'll reevaluate at that point. I also need to start working on drinking 1 quart of non-fat milk per day to help my hip joint regrow...I especially need that stuff when I get my Zometa (for bone regrowth) once the adminstrative gibberish gets out of the way.

They actually said I lost some potassium because of all the vomitting I did. I only have to take 1 pill in the morning and 1 at night. That is good because they are about 1 lb each.

people always told me to drink a lot after chemo so that it would prevent your organs from being damaged by the chemo. but i never did that. i would just look back at my uncle/aunt/mom/dad/granparents and look at them with eyes that would say, "dude, i just did chemo. lay off.... i have cancer," and wip out the cancer card, "go get me a present" hehe
BTW i have a big surprise tomorrow. and it's cancer related... but it's good. so if you feel up to it, come to school. but if you're not planning on it, then it's no biggy cuz 'you'll always be able to see it' (that was a clue!!!)
