So another phone call to the nurse and I have different meds. Actually more meds to help with my tummy. I also knew I was still dehydrated, so back to St. Mary's for more fluids
Between the new meds (and there is a story for that, I'll get to it in a minute) and the fluids, I feel like a normal person again. Well as normal as I get.
I'm so happy the new meds and the fluids worked. Now I need to keep up on my fluids. I have found flavored water that sits well with me. Anyone need Gatorade? I might not drink that for a long time.

I had to stop at the pharmacy to get a couple of things when I picked up my meds. Usually the pharmacy people are nice and helpful and ready to listen. Well, the person mom and I talked to was not a happy person. I needed something and because the nurse told me the name brand, that was what I was going to buy. The guy was rude to my mother, and then to me when I walked in to talk to him. I even said I needed the name brand because that's what the nurse told me and since I'm doing chemo treatments, I need to follow the exact directions. He made some snarky comment about how if I really wanted to pay more I could. He wasn't helpful about getting my new meds and didn't even acknowledge I was standing at the counter for five minutes. I know I wasn't at my prettiest, but at least say you will be with me soon. It doesn't cost anything to say a nice word or be kind. When will people learn that?
We have a Sting Cancer group at my school and they made me this amazing blanket. Guess who tried it out last night and shared it with me. Yes, Jovi has decided it is her blanket and she might share with me, maybe.
I love it. I was so touched when my friend delivered it last night. How sweet and kind everyone has been. It brings tears to my eyes. I also got cards from some students at my school It was so fun to hear from them. I do really miss seeing them. But I know I can't go back to school until after chemo is done.
I also got..................
Yes, I now have purple shoes to match my purple port. My port has been busy this week with fluids and stuff. I'm so excited about my purple shoes.
Yesterday was a good stomach day and today is starting as a good stomach day. I'm praying we have figured out how my meds will work
I'm hoping to feel good enough to attend the Good Friday service at my church. I will rest today and see if this good tummy continues. I love our Good Friday service and would be sad to miss it.


So glad you are doing better! What a nice blanket! Praying you feel good for Good Friday and Easter.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I haven't been in touch lately Shell. It's been late nights this week and thought maybe you'd be getting lots of rest. I'll be thinking about you as choir sings for services and as we head to the Schauer for production week coming up. Take care my friend, you're always in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteLove your new blanket, continued prayers
