Wednesday, March 10th - #5

Came home from my cocktail at 4 pm. It went 1/2 hour faster as the clinical drug they are giving me can be pumped in faster!!

I feel a little tired but I know I mentioned this before...I think its because I get up earlier on my cocktail day and get more done before I leave. Sam stayed at Nick's and Paul was home...when Sam is here, she can help my Mom with her shower...but when she isn't around....it's ME! Again, I don't mind helping her...it just takes 20 minutes out of my schedule. Paul stayed home all day and when we got home - he went to the gym.

All this fluid that is pumped into me makes my fingers a little swollen - not noticeable but when I try to get my rings off...they are pretty tight! So, it even makes typing on my computer a little harder...I type so fast that some of the letters are mixed up...so I back space alot!!!

My neighbor came over for a visit and when I was going downstairs I could feel my legs heavy...like - I MUST hold onto the railing!!! I have gotten this feeling each time on 'the day'.

I got the paperwork on my results from the blood test...this one was sent out because they did a full test...magnesium and all...now, if I could only know what the abbreviations are! But I was told that everything looks good. I even got the print out on my CT scan...and the results were actually BETTER than what I originally stated....almost 50% shrinkage in the largest tumors...a bit more than 30% and a little less than 50%....but WE were and are very excited!!!! The tiny ones even shrunk quite a bit...and there were ones that were too small to measure...but comparing them - they too shrunk.

Normally I wouldn't know this info as I would have been evaluated in 3 months rather than the 8 weeks. My next scan is scheduled for the last week in April - a total of 3 months.

THANK YOU all for your prayers...I am sure God is listening to YOU and to ME! Guess he wants me as a disciple - to show everyone 'the way'. BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!!!!!
