I don't know what I was thinking when I was writing the description for this blog. I was all types of confused with misspellings and the wrong dates. I was obviously confused and upset. Anyways, I fixed it and right next to the date is the amount of views I have already received. 461. That just brings tears to my eyes knowing that I have such a strong support system with those I came into contact from elementary school, middle school, high school, college, ONE college class, through a friend, and people who don't even know me.
Anyways, last night was a rough night. I started my 3rd day of my chemo drugs and I was so restless/anxious and feeling sick. I couldn't get comfortable or anything. I even requested some ambien to help put me into sleep but that did ABSOLUTELY nothing except....well it did nothing. Then when my nurse went to call the doctor on call to request another one, she had to speak to her "superiors" and nothing ever came back. I assume I fell asleep around 4 because an hour later a nurse or tech came in to get vitals, blood drawls, and change my IV. Then doctors came in and blah, blah, blah.
Whenever I can't sleep I usually sleep the other way (foot where a head is suppose to be, and head where foot is suppose to be) and it always throws everyone off because different just doesn't fly around here.
Vitals were just taken....blood pressure is 112/61...temperature was 97.1 and all is good. I'm going to ask for my blood counts when my nurse comes back but I imagine they're low. It's harder to get up and get around but today's goal is to venture down the hall and do some laundry (they gave me the code to the laundry room yes!!)
I'm also ready to shave my head. My hair is just getting annoying and its always messy...and I don't even have big BLING earrings to balance it out, yet. The first time I went through a hair loss it was hard. I always said it was an IMAGE i didn't want to show because people associate a girl with no hair with cancer. But i love my wigs now and I'm over crying over my hair so I'm gonna chop it off...give myself a mowhawk, write my name in it...idk.
In other news, don't forget that you can donate blood through Oklahoma Blood Institute in my name and I will receive credits toward my bill for each donation in my name. It doesn't matter what blood type you are just get out and donate. :) Also, remember AUGUST 30th at Taft Middle School the wonderful teachers there have set up a bone marrow drive to help either me find a GREAT match (I can't do this again) or help someone else. Once again, credits will go towards my bill and everything and anything is helpful. Please spread the word.
More details to come....
And one more thing....I have such an amazing support group that an old high school friend, Melissa, has put together a scentsy party on my behalf and ALL proceeds from the sales will go directly to me and my hospital bills. She's so wonderful for doing this for me. Scentsy's are great gifts and make your house smell AMAZING. and if you don't want it, i'll take it! :)
Here is a link to her website where you will see her pretty little face and you can go in and order through the "Team Kim" link of the left. I'm about to go buy my own for my hospital room...i hate the smell of chemo. :)
