So I have had a bit of an easier week this week although last week was hit and miss. I still have moments of nausea but I have decided that I will continue to feed my tummy if it grumbles and I feed it, it will do one of two things, either stay down or come up. The problem is that when my tummy grumbles I’m not sure if it’s because I need to throw up or if it’s simply because I’m hungry.
My body is still crawling and it hurts all over. My blood levels were checked yesterday and they are all low especially my red, white and platelet levels so today I went in to get a transfusion. I learned that my blood type is A+ and I learned that my platelet level being so low is in fact what’s causing my ‘bruised feeling’ so now I have to have my blood drawn every other day. This doesn’t make me smile too much because that means more needles. But whatever they need to do to ensure I feel better I’m in for. So as it stands right now, I will have an MRI within the next four weeks and after that and they get the results we will discuss the next course of action. But I am off the chemo that made me so sick, as it turns out most people go two rounds at a reduced dose and my body took five rounds at a full dose, it may seem a little arrogant but I've been feeling so crappy it was nice to be reassured that the body wasn't failing me which was my concern .
So needless to say I am feeling a bit better mentally and its funny how that seems to pull everything in line. I feel more in line with God and even closer at the thought of spending the weekend with Him at the retreat I am going too barring any problems with my blood results. If anything does not line up with the blood results then I will have to give up the weekend and get another transfusion…nothing I can do about it though but pray all is ok.
Best part of this week; My daughter turned 19 today!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVzIGMqRznk
