Oh My Tongue!

Yesterday was my third Cytoxan infusion. Since I am sooo swollen (edematous) they only gave me half the bag of fluid. Got my antinausea bag (Zofran) and full bag of Cytoxan. I felt about 25% better after infusion. Shortness of breath was a little better. Thank you Maribeth for taking me again. I LOVE YOU! I also had the nurse I had the first time, Elise. She is so nice and informative. I will get a picture next time. We were a little late for my doctors appt. but got in without problem. Dr. Anderson changed a few things. Because my BP and pulse are up, my puffiness is out of control, my bowels have a mind of there own, I am slowing down..... He is slowly taking me off Prednisone. Should be off by next visit. I will be taking Lasix (water pill) every day. YeaH!!!!! BUT.............. now my tongue is hurting. It has hurt in the past, but went away. This woke me up. Not really a sore throat. I think more glandular because of edema. It's more the back of my tongue that is sore. If this continues, the weight should come off fast... LOL!  Also my blood work was ok. No big change. I was afraid it was off because I had some bruising.
On a good point, MB and I went to see Landon last night. Kendall was at her grandma's :(  We took Landon to see the lights at the Fairgrounds. He LOVED it. I LOVE him!
FYI- no Christmas tree up yet. Maybe Monday????
