Tuesday AM, very early

I had Chemo yesterday.  It takes all day.  I have to be there at 8:30 for blood work, then I'm free for about an hour until the doctor sees me, and decides if I'm going to have chemo that day.  Last monday I didn't, but today (rah) I did.  It seems to me that if you're already infected with a deadly disease, they wouldn't be so careful about pumping poison into your veins.
Our doctor at Morristown is very careful.  I like that, as my life isw in her hands.
All the staff there are super nice.
After blood was drawn, Janie and I were free for about an hour, so we went to the hospital dining room for breakfast,and it was really good, with serveral choices. It breaks the tedius of waiting.
We got back to the cancer unit, and they were 'just' waiting for us.
They soon wanted us to order some lunch, but we put them off.
I am stinging all over like I've angered a huge nest of yellowjackets.
It's some of the side effects.
The part of the treatments that I hate the most is the side effect of the diaherea and then the constipation.  The muscle side effects are painful enough to make a preacher cuss.
But, Ive'got to get victort over then, and Live On
I'm too tired to wrightmuch.  I haven't been to bed yet.
I'm very 'antsy' tonigh.
I ned to settle.
