Greetings from the chemo chair!

   It's a little after 2:00pm and I am happy to say that today's treatment is going to be over at 4:00 instead of the 7:00ish we had planned on. All my blood work numbers are looking good and I am very pleased!! :) Also, about the port....OMGosh that makes it SO much easier...SO MUCH!! The needle that went in was kind of scary looking...an inch (maybe longer) long, thick and bent. I couldn't believe that it didn't hurt.
   My blood sugar was already 350 about an hour ago and they gave me 8 units of insulin. I have a feeling they are going to need to give me more.
    I'm tired (beneydryl in the IV) and am going to try and snooze. There are 4 people in my cubby and we've been chatting up a storm....we are all kind of settling in and the meds are kicking in...less and less talking as we all begin to feel the sleepy effects.
