As My World Turns

Sister and I had a pretty good Monday yesterday . I slept like a good lil Washington baby thanks to the rain . I love falling a sleep to the rain even when it's a storm I love it !! I woke up in a good mood . Sister picked me up and we went to Radiation . The waiting room looked kinda full I was a lil paniced at 1st since sis and I had to be in Seattle by 1:30 . A full room can mean a machine down , complications with the computer , or that they are short staffed for the day . I went and changed in to a robe and took the last empty chair . The high energy nurse came around the couner and said lets go liz . I looked around the room to make sure I wasn't getting dart eyes . I had one or two . The nurse told me that she grabed me b/c my treatment was quicker then the rest and they where short staffed for the day . It works for me . Sorry suckers !!
I come out from thr patient only area and grab sister . We hop in her car and head North to Seattle . We made it up there faster than planned we left early due to the crazy weather . We checked in then I checked out . I found a nice recliner by the window curled up and passed out . I was so out of it I didn't hear the nurse call my name . She had to come and give me a lil shake . As I woke up an took a fast invintory I had a slight horror moment . I noticed that no one was around me , I wondered to myself if I was snorring ? maybe I farted ? I know that I drooled . Oh well ....
We met with my Chemo Dr. and his head nurse . Befor he got there she gave me a few test . I told her that I still have tinggles in my toes and a few in my hands . She made me walk on my tippy toes and then on my heels to see if it had effected my balance . Then she had me take off my shoes and socks to test my nerves in my foot to make sure no damage was happening . I kinda grimaced at this , I just got these sock maybe a month ago I have washed them a few times but they tend to shed a lot of lint . I tell her and she says thats ok it will be worth it then . I give her a odd look as I pull of my soc and half a lint catchers worth comes out of one sock and ask her how so ? She gets this menecing look on her face and tells us that my Dr. is a lil O.C.D. . She said it will freak him out that there is something on the floor . So I take off the other sock and it has maybe one or two less peices of lint . She started to poke my foot with a peice of a cotton swab that she snaped in half . She asked me to tell her if it hurt . Well duh !! You are stabing my foot with a twig ! Both feet and hands passed the poke test so she deemed me ok .
I tell her since we are doing this kinda stuff would she mind looking at my ears ? Last week my inner ear cannels started to hurt then over the weekend the right ear felt like it went under water . So she looks at my ears and says that really the only thing I can do is wait and take some Sudafed to help a little with the pressure . This made me feel a little bit better but also bummed me out that I had to deal with this till it took it's course . As we are talking about this my Dr. comes in . Sis is the only one facing him as he walks in so she got the joy of his 1st reaction to my sock's poop on the ground . Sister said his eyes slightly bugged out . What I found amusing was as we were talking his eyes would wonder over to it and he would just kinda look at it beifly and try not to obsess over it . Then he notice all 3 of us looking at him and he knew he was set up . He tells sis and I that he's a little compulsive and I tell him I want my Dr. to be . If he has a set way of doing things and it has to ne a certian way I figure he is less likely to say Oops . I don't like hearing that from my Dr. ( Or hair stylist ) . He and the nurse conversed for a moment and they looked over my blood work then they told me that they were going to lower my dose of the Vanchristian . Due to the fact that my feet were tinggleing and my hands were starting to show signs of it . We said our good byes for the week and went up to the 5th floor for my treatment .
