Just call me frustrated. I wasn't going to post yet, because I can't think of too many happy thoughts right now. I am just getting so FRUSTRATED!!!!! I was sure my counts would to up today. Nope. They are still not coming back. I am getting tired. I have not been able to eat or drink ANYTHING for a week now. I am losing between 1/2-1 lb a day now. They won't start me on any IV nutrition yet because I guess that has other side effects they don't want me having right now. So, I look up at my bag of saline, and know that is what is keeping me alive right now. This high dose chemo ate up the entire lining of my digestive system from the esophogus, stomach, intestines and bowels. I think it will take me a long time to ever feel like I want to eat again (if the Doctors ever let me haha).
It looks like we will be in Houston longer than we had planned. I just don't see getting back during October. I have been getting so bored. My pain meds make me tired, so I sleep as much as I can. Kevin is here during the day and we go for walks and talk. My concentration isn't here enough to play cards yet. The nursing staff here is great. There is also a Euchristic Minister that comes around every few days. While I can't take communion right now (due to the no food in mouth orders from Dr.) they do sit and pray with me.
That's it from me now,
I think I will sign this post from,
