Sleeping Beauty??

Monday was a sleepy day. Couldn't seem to get enough. Don't know if it's the weather or leftover from Friday chemo and Saturday shot. Oh well, felt good to sleep.

Hair coming out fast and furious. Think I'll make an appointment for next week to get a 'shave'. Then you can all call me 'baldy'!

Tuesday: Had the next part of ritux. Had minor reaction ... heart rate went up to 114 and had 'funny feeling' in throat. They turned it off for 20 minutes and restarted. Finished it okay. Started the day at 10am and finished the infustion at 2:45 then waited to see the dr. until 4:15. Another long day. Ready to take a nap, but it's 5:30 already ... oh well, will probably fall asleep watching tv (isn't that the purpose of current programs???).

Heading in again on Weds afternoon to see surgeon for wound check. He'll decide whether or not to keep the home nurse care. If he decides I don't need it anymore I'll be free!! Won't be home bound!!

Next sessions are both on Tuesdays. Ritux again on June 17 and another CHOP session on June 24. Dr. Grosset upping the dose of ritux from 300 (still partial) to 500. Guess the regular dose is 700. That means I haven't even gotten one full dose yet. Oh joy!

Love to all

Oh Sue, I'm sorry about your hair. I know in the scheme of things it's the least of your worries, but it still sucks. If you need or want a partner in the Kojak look, let me know ;) Course, if I am your partner in crime you're coming in with me because I have a feeling I might have some explaining to do.
