wind-down time

Killed 3 birds with one stone today. I first had to go to the hospital for a

blood test because my Potassium is dangerously low.

Then I had to go to the Oncology clinic for a teaching  session.

 Watched 2 films that were really stupid......in the first scenes before they

 started,  they announced that the people in it that were patients, were really

Actors.  From that point, I judged their acting abilities and not the shit that

 was falling out of their mouths...Come on, give me someone to listen to

 the truth, someone who has lived this shitty cancer, some one who has

 survived it.  Someone who can tell me how often they puked a day and if

 their diarrhea has them anemic yet.  Someone who can tell me how bad

these aches and pains and numb fingers and toes are.  NOT someone

 ACTING like they have cancer.  When that was over, the nurse came

in and told us (hubby and daughter came with me) a million things &

thank God she gave me hand outs on paper about it cause I would never

 ever remember all that stuff.  After that the 3 of us went to lunch, very

very nice as we just never get to do that.  Then finally, I had an appointment

 to talk with the surgeon who will be implanting my catheter (a little thing

 that is about the size of a marble with one line going up and the other end

 in a vein to my heart.  They do this so that they do not have to start an IV

in my arm every time I have a treatment. They can also take blood through

it for blood tests. This thing will be under the skin right below my collar

 bone.  Surgeon says there will be about a 2 inch scar where they put it in.

If it gets clogged we may have to do it all over again.

Drove right by a wig store today!!!   Lolol  I don't know if I'll go with the

 Marilyn Monroe look, or Cher, or who just yet.  I have been trying forever

 to get my hair to a beautiful soft silver/white.  They can't make your hair

 white in the salon ya know.  That's the only color they can't do.  You must

 grow it naturally.  So, now I am on hold until Monday and after that all

hell is gonna break loose.....
