booster shot

At 1st I didn't feel better from the blood transfusion . zI thought everyone lied to me about how much better I would feel . I mean I slept the whole 2 days away after . I felt just as sluggish and drained as I did before it . Well I then went in on Friday and they check my counts and they were way up but I still felt way down WTF ! The nurse told me my bodt was most likely useing that energy to accept the blood . I then was given the miracle shot in my belly . I don't know what was in it but about 3 hours after it , oh yeah ! WEeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!

The nurse told me to still give my body a few days before being around people so today is the 1st day that I get human contact other than my family in almost 2 weeks ! I'm so excited to see people . I missed my friends wedding that was yesterday =( , a birthday party on Friday and a bbq on Thursday . I might not stay long at stuff but it is still fun to get out of the house .

In the last week and a half I have watched 2 seasons of Dexter and half a season of Spartacus . I would walk around in circles around the coffee table and get tired haha . I had to move though laying around all day makes the muscles tight and sore . I also have a stretching regimine that I have to do or my whole body wants to go decrepide . I'm afraid my hair will grow back gray and between the decrepidness and the hair people with mistake me for some old lady .

Blood transfusion

Well today I sit in T.G. on the 4th floor getting a blood transfusion . I find it weird and kinda gross . I think of blood as a personal thing . I mean it runs through my veins my heart it helps power my thoughts , when mad it boils , when scorned by someone it turns cold , when in love it tingles the rest of the senses making knees go weak . I know it sounds dumb that out of all the stuff I have had to have done to me in the last 8 months that this one is the one that bothers me the most . The nurses have done a good job making me feel better about the whole deal . Even though I still have my reserves about the whole thing .

I understand the expression blue blood better now also . The blood I was given today looked almost purple-ish . The lady next to me had a blueish tint to it . I asked her what her blood type was ( I can't remember now ) but it was different then mine . So I am curious if different blood types have different hues to them .... the mind reels ....

Chemo coma

Well I have slept almost the whole entire last week away . No matter what I do I feel like I am about to pass out . I hate it . I cant get anything done . I was going to go to a wedding reception on Sunday , slept through the whole thing . It like I fall into a coma or something as soon as I fall asleep .

In news in the small . Mom and Dad are preparing for a huge spaghetti feed at their house . Sister has been over there helping a lot . I can't do much in their house . It tires me out after about the 3rd trip up or down the stairs , I need about a 2 hour nap . So I did small stuff folded laundry , loaded dish washer , and made lunch .

Mom is almost more than 3/4 ths done with the deck !! It looks amazing !! She has had some help from various people over the last month but for the most part she has done most of it herself . I hope I have that much energy ..... anytime soon ! =)
