Update

It's been a week since the last chemo. I still have good days and bad. Today is one of the bad ones. However, it's not as bad as it was last week. I've spent pretty much the entire day in bed.

Last Wednesday and Thursday were also spent in bed. On Friday, I got dressed and made a list and went out and purchased some Father's Day presents for BDHA. I went slow, sat down when needed and even used the motorized scooter that some stores provide. Saturday and Sunday were more days of not doing much.

MFS came in from State College Sunday morning and had picked up a shift at Wings, Suds and Spuds that day. He was working as a cook and BDHA, MFD and myself had dinner there so we could be together (sort of).

When I was out on Friday, I found a T-shirt with the Ghostbuster logo on it. Anyone who knew MFD when she was 2 knows what that shirt means. We lived in Texas at the time the movie came out. This was also the time when MTV started. As soon as the music came on, MFD would realize it and run out of the living room and hide in her room. She was terrified of the video. I don't recall why I bought her a Ghostbuster's t-shirt back then but she was very attached to it. She wanted to wear it every day. Maybe she thought it would protect her from Slimer. When we went up to Chicago to visit family, we had to bring that shirt, of course. There were so many "fights" of her wanting to wear it every day and not allow me to wash it, that one of her uncles went out and bought her a second shirt.

When I saw they had it in adult sizes, I had to buy one for her. After dinner at Wings, we dropped her off at her apartment. I had given her the shirt prior to dinner. By the time BDHA and Mr. Whacko walked up to her apartment, she was wearing it. Later that night, they actually had Ghostbusters on TV. We had to watch it. My two favorite lines in the movie (and I knew when they were coming even though I hadn't seen the movie in over 10 years) are: "If someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES" and "What did you DO, Ray?!"

Yesterday I took MFS to Men's Wearhouse to get his suit fitted for the wedding. We also went to Target (motorized scooter) so that I could subsidize his clothing allowance. That afternoon I had an appointment with my PCP for a meds check. Things seem to be going well there. Yesterday afternoon I started feeling dizzy. Probably from not drinking enough fluids. Today was more of the same which is why I spent most of the day in bed.

I have a breast MRI scheduled for this Thursday up in Kittaning. I have a mammo on June 30th. I have a pre-surgery consultation with Dr. Z on July 2nd. I will go up for pre-op testing immediately after the appointment. That afternoon we pick up MFD's dress from the bridal boutique. On July 6th we leave for Vegas and come back on the 10th. On July 15th I have another appointment with my PCP to discuss what meds to drop for the surgery and on July 20th I have the surgery.

If all goes well and there are no complications/set backs, I plan on returning to work on Monday, August 31st. I need to start working on increasing my stamina. I bought a WiiFit and should start using that. I'm afraid to see what my WiiFit age will be..probably in the 80's.

Take care all.
