day 1


7 hours in dallas.
Came out of the day with some Panera Bread & a foreign object (port) in my chest, will be just another scar....ya know.
Napped 3 times this far.
I ate a lot today..uncommon for a Interferon patient..maybe that means I won't be affected by some of the side effects!! (hair loss, perhaps ha?)
Received lots of nice words today and wonderful things in the mail, put big smiles on my face, thank you loved ones (: I have the best family in the world!
My body hurts, I feel like someone punched me in the chest/head & kicked my back in.
I'm tired and feel queasy, yes that is a word.
I can't get a deep breath and it's frustrating me, bad.
I worked with a girl last night who has had Lupus for 11 years, it was definitely a life story I needed to hear. Reality check, for sure. My story/diagnosis is n o t h i n g compared to hers, and yet she holds her head up and a smiled planted on her face.
Gma comes to town tomorrow I can't wait to see her and cuddle her little gum-drop body, in matching sweat outfits.
This is day one of my countdown.
One day closer to recovery and Cancer-free brit(:
watching Alice & Wonderland, trippy.
