| I took a shower like this because I am still getting infused. |
I have been up since they woke me for blood at 7:15am, I proceeded to get some motion going by doing ten laps around the hospital hall. At one point I knocked down a big sign because my IV pump machine has wheels that stick out. That was a little embarrassing but the custodian told me he would fix it -lol! Oops! Breakfast came & I had an really good omelette, saved my oatmeal & bagel for later. I had to take a shower with wires connected to me, but they have this plastic meant to cover your chest if you have a port like me. I will post a picture. Sorry if its too showy, my nurse walked right in afterwards so I didn't have time to take a better shot. I slept with the wires connected to my chest (its really not as horrible as one might think).
I received my first medicine last night, today I am getting a mix of that one & a new one at the moment. They gave me anti-nausea medicine just in case with this 2nd drug. I am trying to eat a lot before the bad side effects kick in. Also I weighed in at 121 today, but that's really just water weight. I've peed over 20x since I've been here, yeah... that part is pretty annoying. Now I remember why my hands got so dried & peeled the first time I went through this 2 years ago (washing my hands all the time). So far my body still feels good!
Exercise: In total today I did 18 laps and light arm exercises.
