2nd Time Around

I sit and anticipate what the day will bring. Since this is my 2nd chemo I know the routine already, but just enough time has passed that I don't have a strong memory of how crappy I felt so again I am thinking maybe I will feel better this time and it really wasn't that bad. I am still amazed how fast the human body wants to repair itself and rid the chemicals and start making good cells. That is really a good thing. So about 10:15 we will head back to South Bend to Navarre Place, I will see Dr. Zon after I have my IV put in, have some blood work done, and then snuggle in for the afternoon of drips and pushes. I made a pan of smashed potatoes and put them in the fridge knowing I had a strong craving for them last time. I know I will be out of sorts for at least several days and the goal is not to throw up. Such simple things in life are important - like a day with no vomit. At least I know I will not be able to work Friday - I am going in early this morning to help make up some of that lost time. Pay week so I need to process payroll for staff.

And of course, the other thing I have to do is figure out what the heck to put on my head. I did order a couple crusher hats so I can just plop them over my head - black and khaki - simple and kinda cute. The looks I am getting are priceless and no one says a thing. But in reality - what are they suppose to say? :-)
