A day in the life

Here is a bit of a walk down on what my day looks like from up-time to back to bed time. Not sure how much "fun" this is, but you mind find it a bit interesting.

3:00am wake up with things that chemo likes to keep you awake for.

4:50 fall back asleep

7:27 get up and get ready for my day.

7:55 lisa talking about lunch makes me throw up.

8:05 drive to hospital

8:35 arrive at infusion center, said hey to all the nurses.

8:40 get weighed and vitals checked out. Appears I am alive.

8:45 talk to nurse about me and gallbladders

8:50 get hooked up to the pump start getting the anti nausea drugs.

9:05 start writing day in the life of chemo. Waiting for pain killer and chemo.

9:10 nurse comes over and says we're waiting for meds. I start re-reading wired from yesterday. Such a solid mag. Never been
to their website in the past 5 years. (Dan)

9:30 chat with my nurse about chemo drug history as she gives me some adavan and dilotted for the strange pain/ feeling of chemo burning through my body. Possibly feeling a bit tired. No chemo yet. Feeling sleepy.

9:45 first round of chemo starts - 60 minutes until the next one. Pain killer did a great job of hiding the strange pain. Back to wired.

10:55 hooked up to last chemo. Will take 90 minutes. Pretty tired we'll see what happens.

12:30 rolls around and they unhook me

12:35 I am picked up by a patron from church

1:00 get home and nap most of the day.

5:30 dinner. Hiccuping starts.

5:35 watch some TV with lisa. Can't stop hiccuping

8:00 getting close to bedtime.

That is roughly what my day look like. The pain killer really helps keep me a bit tired and so I can't feel the strange effects of the chemo.
