Now what Do I Do?

Well after my last blog they put me right in the hospital. I was so flipping sick that this time I was HAPPY to go in. My potassium and electrolytes were low and my diarrhea was horrible. That was why I was fainting. And I did have bruises from fainting. Sydney came in the bathroom when I was bathing and said What happened to your shoulder? I had a big bruise on my shoulder. also on my hip and all the way down my back and spine. They did not hurt but they stayed along time. In the hospital they had to feed me in my port and I tell you as soon as it hit me I could feel the strength coming back in my body. Dr told me to take the year off and let my body heal and then we would talk about chemo. We want to quit but he wants me to have my last 3 doses at half strength. He does not feel my body can handle the full strenght. The week they put me in the hospital I lost 8 lbs and in the hospital I gained 15. I have lost some of the 15 again but I have maintained better. I have felt really good other than I have no strength. I had a great Christmas and it feels so good to feel good. I still don't like to go outside. The cold is really hard on me. I live in my electric blanket and have the fireplace on most of the time. So when I go back to the Dr and we make a decision of what to do then I will let you know. As for now have a Happy New Year.

Hi Dar! I saw Syd a few weeks ago at the Fryer's annual Christmas game night and I can't believe how grown up she is - so pretty, just like you. You and your good family are in my thoughts always. Stay strong. Love ya! My blog is travandrinda.blogspot.com if you want to add it to yours. I hope you don't mind that I have yours on my site - I've got to keep up with you somehow ;)

So he wants you to take a year off then start Chemo again? What did you decide?
