I got my ride all confirmed for Wednesday. They are picking me up with the Faxton Cancer Center van at 11:30 am. Now I won't have to worry about driving in snow and bad weather all through these treatments. Guess I'll have to wait till Wed. to find out how long it will take to get back home each day.
I wasn't feeling that great yesterday in the late afternoon. All the aching came back again. I sometimes feel like there is a blockage way up inside my intestines. The laxatives don't seem to work very well lately. I am very uncomfortable. I'm not going to be eating much at all on the days I have treatments and then I will be eating food that won't upset my stomach or give me gas. They say the "Brat" diet is good to go on during the treatments. That means bananas, rice, applesauce and toast and tea. I'm going to go off the green tea and stick to Camomile though. It might calm my nerves more.
The coating of ice on everything didn't seem to be melting much today but it did melt some. It's going to get real cold again though by Wednesday and continue for the next week or more. Winter is here for good now.
I hope they can see where the radiation points are from the tattoos they injected because I have noticed that the marks they put on the cheeks of my butt have disappeared. I think they wore off in bed. I toss and turn so much. I haven't scrubbed those spots at all when I take my shower. Hope I don't have to have them do a simulation all over again. I thought they used permanent markers. Guess not.. Ha!
I ordered a bunch of stuff that I'll need later. Pads for my bed. A sitz bath. It might soothe the soreness later. Another mattress pad. I just can't seem to get comfortable with the three I already have on my bed. My hip bones still hurt. I'm so bony now. I also got some face masks in case I feel like I need protection from other people. I will get prescriptions for other stuff as I need them. Like pain killers or lotions etc. I better set up an account with Kinney's in Ilion because they deliver. Lots of the women here get their medicines delivered from there. I've only gotten a couple from Walmart before. But they won't deliver. I need to have all the convenience I can at this time.
I've got to get things done for Christmas yet too. I got the movies put together for the kids in MN. But haven't gotten them onto the DVD's yet. Thank heavens I can do all my shipping labels online. It is so convenient. And the post man comes right inside this building every day to take my packages. He brings my stamps too when I order them. The last time I was in the post office a few years back, I fell hard on the cement floor. That's before I discovered online shipping. I haven't been back since. I can't carry anything now with the damn crutches.
Well, that's all I have on my mind for now. Drive safely everyone and be well.
