After a long day in the chemo chair and just feeling like rubbish I finally got that blasted IV out of my arm. I think it stopped working as soon as the last drop of Cisplatin went in. I think it wanted out just as badly as I wanted it out. So after a movie and some lunch (beef soup & chicken nuggets - I know a weird combo) I am waiting for Jennifer to come home with Lachlan. His first full week of the new day care is done today also. Just a full day of celebrations. Yesterday I couldn't believe how much his hair has grown and how much he changes. Although I am around the house during treatments I am very much out of it and miss holding Lachlan and playing with him. The week goes by and he has changed before my eyes. A little disappointed that I miss that time with him during these weeks. I have to make up for it during my good weeks. Which there should be a lot of nowadays!
I am thankful for all those nurses that looked after me during my time at Highlands Oncology. They really did a great job. Now for my Neulasta shot tomorrow to boost my WBC this week. I am hoping to be back teaching by the end of the week as long as I feel up for it.
