It's Janet. Wow what a treatment and what a weekend. I think I hit a record time for my treatment. We left the house around 9:45am ad got home around 6:10 pm. The doctor changed my pre-chemo meds to see if that would help the headaches I get. This week I still have the on-going headaches though not as severe. I am definitely more tired and more nausea feeling so now I just take more meds for those issues and I take more naps. I learned how careful you have to be with cutting yourself too. A simple papercut wouldn't stop bleeding and I went through 2 bandaids! How the body changes! All in all, my spirits are good, I'm tired and little more icky feeling. But thanks to modern medicine, I have a fluffy pillow and good meds to take : )
Our house was quite the infirmary this weekend. On Saturday, Andrei blew out his ankle during the Basketball tournament. His ligament is so swollen they aren't sure whether any other damage was done. Through x-rays we found out the other side of his ankle has a fracture. So after he and I spent 4 hours at the Urgent Care on Saturday, Andrei came home with his foot in a boot and crutches and in lots and lots of pain. Monday, Scott and I took him to see Orthopedics and had the other ankle x-rayed. Afterall, this was the ankle he has been complaining about - just not he one he injured. That ankle is also sort of messed up and he has a brace for that foot. Poor Andrei. He is getting along with the crutches and we have had to move lot of stuff around the house so he get around easier. This coming Monday, he has another appointment with orthopedics. At this time it will probably be decided if an MRI is necessary, physical therapy is needed....... What next? Oh! I know!! Aruna's eye is swollen and bothering her immensely. So far, we have managed her without a trip to the doctor. But I am not holding my breath.
I know some of you are still having issues with leaving comments. You can always e-mail me at jrwslaughter@verizon.net. I love hearing from everyone. Tell me some of your woes - misery loves company. Besides, it really can be a good laugh as it seems to put everything into perspective and makes you realize just how much energy you waste on stuff you can't control.
Happy Spring to Everyone.

In 27 days I will have 4 teenagers. Does that count as a woe? We heard about Andrei's ankle - hope all goes well at the follow up visit. Sorry you are feeling "puny" as they say here in the south. We love ya'll!!!
