If you’re on Facebook, you probably saw that I got in an accident the day before my first chemo treatment – ugh. A dork ran a red light and I t-boned him on my way to my pre-chemo oncology appointment. Crap!!
The car was still driveable, so I was able to make it to the appointment and work, but then had to figure out ONE MORE THING! The car went into the shop, and I subsequently got two offers from friends to borrow their cars. The first day, I got to drive the Mini below:
and the next day, I was driving this Porsche Carrera:
Friends are great (thanks Mark & Carol)! And Tina says she will never again be okay with renting a Chevy Aveo, Hyundai Accent, or anything that goes weeeeeeee instead of vroom as you step on the gas, when we travel.
My second chemo session was Friday. Stace took me this time, and we watched Game of Thrones and two Vice episodes. The time flew by – love my son! Except I sent him to the snack frig for pudding and he came back with a box of Boost and some tropical jello – whaaaat?
If I’m going to lose my hair, they say it will start around the third or fourth week, so I’m thinking of getting my hair cut super short just in case. Still debating…
I was a little nauseous today, but still no puking, so that’s good. My pee stinks, I’m getting blotches on my face and I think I may have had my first hot flash last night – woo hoo – good times!
On a more positive note, I’m thinking I’ll sign up for a yoga class, I bought some earrings to cheer me up, and I pinned some new ideas to my “Gift Ideas” board on Pinterest if anyone wants to get me a present (just kidding, they’re ideas for Mother’s Day).
Two down…ten to go.
