Taxol? I take Taxol....freakin' beast.

Today went well. I didn't do much but given that it's Day 3 for me, I'm happy with what I did.

I got my shower, drove 30 miles to a church luncheon where they donated $100.00 to my Relay for Life team!!!   I am VERY excited about that!

I got to visit with a tech who also happens to be my friend...she did my ultra sound early on and I KNEW from the look on her face and tone of her voice that something was up way early on but of course, she can't divulge that kind of stuff. She was very happy to see me and I was happy to see her.....gonna do something together this summer....something we've been putting off for way too long.

I drove home, met my husband on the porch and he said, "How ya doin'?"

"Sleep." I said. "I need sleep." I walked right by him, upstairs, got in my night clothes and crashed for a few hours.

When I got up, I sat out on the front porch with Pete and he brought me pots filled with dirt and I planted some herbs. It felt good to poke around in the dirt....I only got 8 planted but that was plenty of activity for me and required breaks for my hands. I planted 2 of each of these: oregano, thyme, rosemary and lavendar. It was incredibly relaxing and we enjoyed ourselves. I now have a cirle of herbs in my front yard.   :)

I did not try the new pain meds.....I think they are for heavy duty, extreme pain....and while I had pain today, I don't think that heavy of a drug was necessary.
