This is me getting my first infusion of Cytoxan on Oct. 15 in Akron. It was a long day. Couldn't sleep the night before. My sister Janet took me and entertained me. She even brought me toast! They have a FULL kitchen with all kinds of goodies. I didn't get nauseated. They gave me anti nausea med before starting. I was prepared with "puke bag" just in case.

My last night to work was Oct.5 2013. Almost one month off work. Still going strong. This is the last of my 10-14 days of being more susceptible from the med. So far so good. Went to church on Sunday and wore my mask. Maribeth is selling crochet stuff at a craft show this weekend, so I am busy crocheting some things for her to sell. $$$$$ I haven't started getting any disability yet. It could be 3-4 months!!!$$$  Finding out about how people survive on disability!!!! It's interesting. Never thought I would be going through this. But I will make it!

I miss seeing my girls that I took care of at work. I hope they stay healthy this winter.

 

FEELING:

Ever since I started my infusion I have a very slight headache right above my eyes. Continue to have lower back heaviness and upper back tightening. Also, since I am on a high dose of Prednisone my appetite has changed. Plus my stomach has increased in size. I think I am having another "Alien Baby". (Had one once before when I had my gall bladder out about 6 years ago!) These are things I can deal with. I haven't lost any hair yet. Can't remember if I said that I can get a FREE wig. I'm thinking RED.

Enough for today...

Peace out
