 I start the next round of chemo tomorrow. I am so glad I was on a break this week, I really needed it. I have been so tired but I'm having trouble getting to sleep. I went to bed around 10:30 last night and laid awake for HOURS. At 4:00am I decided to just get up and "putsy" around the house. At 8:00am I laid down for about two hours until my phone rang and woke me up. I refused to lay back down just hoping that I will actually be able to get to sleep tonight.


Last week I went in to the doctors office to have my blood counts checked. They were the lowest I've ever seen them. So I had to get that shot. It's starting to get fairly painful even in the tummy. I asked my nurse to give it to me on the right side of my tummy and it still hurt. She said the next place we could try would be the fatty area below my hip. Yikes! But if it gets bad enough, I'll try it!


My chemo treatment tomorrow will be the 36th treatment I have received.

I found out today at chemo that one of the people that I enjoyed talking with died from his cancer at the end of June. I hadn't seen him in a while but I figured it was because I switched from Friday's to Thursday's. What a shame, he was such a nice man.

Chemo went well, my blood counts were back up. I do have a headache though. The doctor prescribed Ambien to help me get to sleep at night since I've been having so much trouble. He also prescribed something for all my HOT FLASHES!! I dropped off the prescriptions but I won't pick them up until tomorrow. I was too drained to wait for them. I am just so tired. I really need some sleep.

Mark, come hell or high water, I will be driving RATTRAX!! That is just so much fun for me, I wouldn't miss that for nothing. Unless you change your plans I have every intention on being there!!

All the arrivals are doing well. One of my female turtles has laid two eggs. I don't know which one yet. It would REALLY be cool if they hatched. Supposedly it's really tough to hatch turtle eggs in captivity. I won't know for about 100 days if they hatch or not.

Come down anytime, remember to let me know so I can get some chicken for you. By the way, I got a new stereo system that I need your help with. It's four different units plus two speakers that all need to be hooked up together. I'm not good with that stuff and I know you are. So whenever you can get down here, would you please help me with that?

Love you too!!
