Its 11:45pm and I can’t sleep! Just got done watching America’s got talent. I feel so pathetic when I literally have tears going down my face for every act! A dog starts jump ropping and I start sobbing hahaha! I swear having children and becoming an old fart makes you an emotional mess lol
I love this blog. It has been so therapeutic for me. Sometimes I forget that people are actually reading this though lol. I worry what people think and I’m like crap maybe I shouldn’t have said this or that. But I can’t hold back.. I need to be me and put down my true emotions and feelings. Otherwise it wouldn’t be therapeutic. So your getting the real thing guys!
Had my second Taxol infusion today in Manchester. Took 5 minutes to get there versus Lebanon which takes 1hr and 30mins. I didn’t get any PTSD feelings, no anxiety, no nausea, nothing! I felt great the entire time. The facility was really nice too. Free breakfast and lunch (my kind of facility) hahah. They also have TV’s at every infusion station which Lebanon doesn’t have.. and my favorite show was on HGTV Fixer upper! I was in Heaven. The only downfall was they didn’t have lidocaine to numb my port area before accessing it. Instead they used a numbing spray which had a horrible sting and didn’t do anything.. Boy did I feel that needle going into my port. Ouch!! Overall it was such a good experience though. I plan on transferring down here especially because my oncologist from Lebanon is leaving soon anyways. I asked for a Benadryl tablet this time versus the IV Benadryl. I still got tired and took a 3hr nap when I got home but I didn’t get that crazy groggy/out of it feeling which was nice. Regained energy after the nap and Jamie and I went to karate. We walked in and there were little kiddos kicking and chopping. Read the sign outside that said this week there will be no karate for our group.. noooo!! 😩 My Mom was watching the kids so we decided to use the time to do something. Out of all the things we could’ve done we decided Whole Foods LOL. Super romantic. But it was good to get the groceries done!
Also, I got the OK to share the news! My best friend Heather had her baby girl (Lucy Ann) on Wednesday July 25th. I was so anxious to meet my new niece that I decided to go see her the next day. My sister and Mom came with me too! I’m going to be honest… I think newborns look like aliens LOL but this little girl was the most beautiful little baby I have ever seen!!! I couldn’t stop smiling. Congrats Heath & Mitch. Love you guys so much!!! ❤️
Blessed my nephew Aiden is discharged from the hospital and doing well. Love you buddy
Still up. Hopefully snoozing soon!
