Day 78 ~ Another beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Yesterday was a bad day for me.
1. I broke a glass in the dishwasher
2. I took the wrong way home from the doctor (couldn't remember where I was!)
3. Tried to call my work, got the wrong number 3 times! Had to actually look it up.
4. Tried calling my best friend who I talk to everyday and couldn't remember her number?
5. Was shaky and trembling all day.
6. Went to the afternoon appointment and in the middle of telling the nurse a story, I had to ask her what I was talking about.
7. Couldn't remember how to use the scanner for the computer. Had to search for help.
8. Took a 4 hour nap!


However, today I feel normal again! Jenny & Anna are coming sometime today to scrapbook. Looks like I better get all the Easter stuff off my table and packed away.

Yes, Joe...my temp is normal today! I knew you would be calling! LOL LOL

The visit to the doctor yesterday concluded that I will receive my next chemo treatment April 14th and I WILL get the neupagen everyday for 4 or 5 days. (that is the white cell builder) Doctor decided I could wait until after the Cancer Benefit for us, so there wouldn't be a chance of me being in the hospital for it.

My white cell count is 5.3 and normal is between 4 and 11. So, I am still at the low end which may be why I am so tired? I was at 8.0 last week. Hmmmm? Why does it still go down?


Well, I best get going to do some laundry etc. Yippee!

Every day is a gift and as long as I can open my eyes, I will focus on the new day, and all the happy memories that I have built up during my life!

Hugs, Janet

I tried to open the front door to my home with my car door remote!!!

Went shopping came home and put my milk and ice cream with my canned goods in the kitchen cabinet lol

Janet... I have learned to laugh at myself in those times and my husband said he was going to install one of those tracking Gps thingy's on me incase I got lost..

I slapped him and said that was not funny!!! lol but okay I did laugh *U*.. Take care my friend..

I worked 6 months while on treatment but had to stop because I could not concentrate and would forget important things and I was getting tired really easily., But it has gotten better but I still have on occasions days like that. and some side effects of the chemo, but it does get better my sister ((( HUgz))) Lorie
