Well, I guess I'm going through another stage ... the "is it really happening to me" stage ... It seems like I'm sitting back watching this happen to someone else, then wham ... it isn't someone else it's me! Of course that brought on the weepy again, but it was just a short one. Jim is so good at comforting me at those times. We'll just have to take it day by day. Knowing that this is 'normal' really helps, but it still seems unreal.
Today my blood pressure was the lowest it's been in a while (very good), and pulse was lower as well. Actually didn't feel too bad, but still felt crappy. Can't quite figure that one out. Couldn't fall asleep last night until the "wee" hours (literally) of the morning. Fell asleep listening to my ocean waves (gosh ... more water!!) no wonder I had to get up and pee (LOL)
Got my 'compression stockings' yesterday (feet swelling) and the visiting nurse (she changes my wound bandaging) helped me put them on. I thought I'd hate them, but they really don't feel bad. Will take them off tonight and put on again in morning.
Still apprehensive about the "R" next week, but guess I'll just have to muddle on. They say the first dose is the most dangerous.
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers
Love you all
