1 Down 17 to go!

First of all let me assure all of you that I feel like I did when I left the house this morning. GOOD! Barb and Julia came to the house and prayed with me at 7:30. Barb and I left for chemo at 8 for an 8:30 appointment. They ran a full IV of saline through before starting chemo. They already had run through a nausea drug and started the pump for medicine to protect my urinary tract. Patti stopped for a short visit and brought me some great tops with V neck line so they can get to the port easier. Karon stopped for a few minutes at noon and I sent Barb home. I slept for about 40 minutes and read a book. By 3:30 I was finished with treatment. The nurse attached the pump for me to wear for the next 72 hours. It contains more of the urinary tract med. We'll do this again the next two days. Friday I go back in the afternoon to have the pump removed.

Thank you for all your prayers, love and support. Pray that I can sleep with this pump that makes a sound like a Polaroid camera about every 45 seconds. Pray that the nausea stays away.
