Day 2 & 3 of ICE 2nd Cycle :(

Before:
 
I was feeling okay Friday morning up until my mini surgery to get a catheter put in my chest.
After:
Whatever medicine they gave me to knock me out, has been making making me feel very yucky. I have been very nauseous since yesterday then. I am too tired to do anything, I feel weak, and miserable to sum it up.

This video is of me still loopy after the mini catheter surgery & as I was talking to my husband he thought it would be funny to record my silly ramblings. (Hence the title: Crackhead Nina)

The catheter/medicine had made me nauseous soI tried to sleep away this feeling. Friday night I unexpectedly threw up my dinner. I had been nauseous but tolerating it until I sat up in my bed and I couldn't hold back :(

Saturday rolled along and I stayed nauseous all day, I mostly slept the day away, my appetite had been dwindling so I hadn't eaten much all day. Once again at night I threw up a little bit. Yesterday morning I weighed 121. I walked 6 laps for exercise.

Today Sunday morning I weigh 119... sorry but its hard to eat most foods :\ I will push myself more. My resting heart rate is around 120 again. No good news to report. Just send me good thoughts and wishes that this misery of mine is short lived. I just want it to pass fast already.

Day 2 of (ICE) Chemo

I took a shower like this
because I am still
getting infused.

My chemo has nothing to do with ice, it is an abbreviation of the 3 medicines I have to take.

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.

PET Scan

I'm about to eat a big breakfast right now because it will be my only meal until after 5pm probably. I cannot eat 6 hours prior to my scan today so I will load up on some filling proteins & carbs like toast with eggs, plus some bad food too like Nutella maybe ;) I can't exercise either, you can't exercise 24hrs prior.
This scan is very expensive, my insurance hates to grant me permissions for it. My doctors have to usually request with a special note. Its awesome though, the images that it produces with x-ray, infrared lighting, and all that mumbo-jumbo. I have to get this radio active injection a half hour before I get scanned. I think of spider man every time I hear radio active and like to think that on PET scan days like this I'm extra cool because I'm radio active haha.

Wish me luck, & keep me in your thoughts today because Monday will be results day. Time is ticking!...>_<
