FINAL 2 DAYS OF TREATMENT......
SO tuesday and wednesday were my last two days...... i was dragging with exhaustion just to get there under my own power....the nausea was strong and my sleep was not solid/consistant.
the treatments came and went and HERE I AM.....CONPLETELY FINISHED WITH THE 30 DAY REGIME
MY RAD DR. SENT ME HOME WITH LOTS OF GOODIES AND LET ME KNOW TO CALL HIM IF I NEED ANYTHING
on the way to my van, i started crying with joy/a sense of relief/pain/god knows what
i got home and was completely worn out by 11am and thats the way its been for yesterday-thursday and today-friday.
the shear joy of not having to drive that 1.5 to 2 hour round trip is soooo damn relaxing.!:):):):):):)
the sitz baths have been fantastico..... i don't know the whys/hows they work but it seems to help dry up the weeping wounds and calms the stinging---ESPICIALLLY IN THE BUTT CRAKKY....THE ITCH BACK THERE IS MADDENING SOMETIMES
SUPPRISINGLY, THE FRONT GROINERY REGION IS DRYING UP AND I HAVE VERY LITTLE "BURNING" PAIN FROM IT..... I NICE THIN LAYER OF NEW SKIN HAS KINDA GROWN OVER THE RAW SKIN....THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF NICKLE SIZED AREAS THAT STILL NEED SOME WORK.
yes, i am happy that its over, but i still have to get thru this strange no-mans land of constantly trying to nap, doing my sitz baths, some nausea, headaches, and least i forget----------THE BURNING POTTY TIMES......LUCKILY THEY ONLY COME LIKE TWICE A DAY
AND ON THE 1-10 SCALE.... REACH A 7-8
I AM THANKFUL FOR ALL OF THE GREAT CHEMO AND RADIATION TEAM MEMBERS FOR TREATING ME WITH BABY BUTTOCKS GLOVES, THE DRS WHO WHERE ALWAYS THERE TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS AND HERE ON THE HOME FRONT.....

ALSO SEVERAL OF MY TENANTS WHO PITCHED IN WHEN I NEEDED THEM AND ALL WHO TOOK AN INTEREST AND CHECKED IN ON ME FROM TIME TO TIME.

BUTT IS THE CENTER OF ALL OF MY ATTENTION CURRENTLY..... and its not cause its sexy!!!!!
IT WAS EACH INDIVIDUAL DAY THAT DRAGGED ME ALONG AS SLOWLY AS I WALK NOW!!!
One Day At A Time. The New Normal is different from the Old Normal, but it's good to be there.
I WAS FANTASIZING LAST NITE ABOUT WHAT I WOULD WANT TO HAVE AS MY "1ST" CELEBRATION MEAL...
AND I COULD NOT THINK OF ANYTHING..........THOSE THAT KNOW ME SHOULD BE
VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS!!!!
I do not know when or how I will recover my appetite...
But seriously, just rest up and recover, both inside and out. You’ve been through so much and this messes up your mind too don’t forget.
You must be so relieved that the treatment is over!
You are a wonderful inspiration, so please continue to share. Sending a huge virtual HUG!
week 5 was the only week that floored me....it was that danged mytomycin
I am being very AWARE OF THE STOOL makeup
hope you and your are enjoying this wonderful Sunday
