Round 2 - Day 4 and 5

Sorry for combining the two days, but getting to work late everyday is taking it's toll on me and it is hard to get everything done, especially being as tired as I am. Thursday went fine - had to get poked twice because one of my veins did not want to cooperate, but it is still better than those shots. I complained again about not being able to get good contiguous sleep and they gave me a prescription for Ambien (I already have some), but this is the kind with a slow release throughout the evening to help you stay asleep. I tried it last night and was able to sleep until 2:30am. I probably could have done better if I didn't have the IV in my arm. So I will continue to try it throughout the weekend and see if I can get some better sleep. Today went fine, just the usual "drip" and then off to work. The IV has been taken out and I am now free for 3 weeks. I still have to go once a week and get my blood checked, but that is a lot better than having to go every day. I just pray for no blood transfusions. I don't have time for that!!! The doctor told me at the beginning of these treatments that I would feel a lot worse before I start feeling better. Well, she is right because I am TIRED. I hope all of those bad cells are getting killed and I will get some energy soon! So, that is all for now!

Have a nice weekend!
