Chemo # 2

Mark and I went to my appt ready to sleep the day away...I got whisked in to the chemo room  by ' bad port karma nurse" and she said 'don't worry I am not going to access your port, we are getting one of the chemo nurses to do that'.  I got the feeling ever so slightly that she is scared of trying to access my port.   I felt bad for her, so next week I am going to take her a little card or a treasure of some sort.  I think that I have a little more work on my co-dependency issues :)  I got Debbie and she has done chemo nursing for 15 years as well.  She does not take it personally when she has someone that she has bad 'port karma' with.  Nice lady. I think that it is kind of like we all have some one that we just don't click with for some reason.  Nurse Sue just does not click with my port! HA!
Dr. M lowered my adavan dosage in my chemo cocktail so I did not lose the whole day sleeping.  I slept while I was there and I felt like I had a nice nap when we left.  Nurse Deanna gave me my treatment.  Mark and I went to lunch and then came home to take our naps;)  I got up and mowed the lawn with Julianna and kept working out side for awhile.  Then I rested in my swing and read some of my book.
God is faithful Flashlights and Firefly!  I do not feel sick or even tired.  Dr. M said once again ( like he wants me to remember )  that the chemo may gang up on me in a month or two and that I may get very fatigued but he is glad that ( in his words) I am high energy and that I seem to be tolerating the treatment very well.  (wink wink). It is all the Lord and His mercy.
I hope my energy keeps up as we have Mark's family coming to visit at the end of the month and the beginning of Sept. If not, Mark is on his own.  :) 
Today was a good day just like last week was.
I got this text from one of my flashlights this morning:   YOU SHALL FORGET THE DAYS OF ILLNESS IN THE JOY OF VICTORY, BUT I YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR SHALL MYSELF BECOME YOUR VICTORY.
Awesome!
