June 22, 2nd round of Chemo

I had my appointment with Dr. Adhami today. He has been contact with Dr. Rushing and they are definitely changing my Chemo so I will no longer be getting the medicine that screwed up my blood sugar. I get a new pill that apparently cost a bunch since the drug stores only bring it in after an order. They will only order two of them at a time. Thank God for Insurance, and that Sharon has such good benefits from the California Lottery.

It took twice as long today because the first day of Chemo they give me some sort of medicine that they have to deliver with big syringe and they are dressed in protective clothing. It's the same as last time, they don't want any of this stuff on them. It doesn't phase them that it's being put in my veins, just don't get any on them. This is the stuff that will effect you if you go into the sun. It makes your skin very sensitive to the effect of the sun. It also turns your urine red.

After Chemo I went home and crashed. I think it was around noon, the next thing I remember it was 3:30. Catie actually took pictures of me asleep on the couch. I would put them on the blog, but I was not looking my best. I now see why I sleep with a respirator. My mouth was open like I was trying to trap fly's. I've destroyed the pictures, accidentally of course.

My blood sugar actually got to 127 today. I celebrated and went out and got a Hot Fudge Brownie Delight. No I didn't, I had oatmeal and a piece of wheat bread. For lunch a 4oz. piece of hamburger and a salad and ice tea. I took the pills today instead of insulin, so it will be interesting to see what my sugar is at dinner.

That's all for now folks.
