potentially one of the worst days yet. Hydrated all yesterday. came in this morning to do same. and they are worried I will not get enough fluid over the weekend.
do we check me into the hospital? do we arrange for home health care?
I drove myslef in this morning cause I was feeling bettter, and I had not made any prior arrangements with anyone else. I am very bad about this part. I know. I hate relying on other people, especiallyt when I have no solid schecdel
So.
At 3pm, the decision was made to leave the vein port IN my arm for the weekend. there is a tube sticking RIGHT out of my FUCKING ARM, and just looking at it makes me want to barf.
Sara's gonna be gone most of this weekend. So I am kinda winging it.
The nurses arranged to have a home health care nurse drop by the house Saturday at 3pm. This nurse will hook me to a 2 litre fluid bag, that will pump through the port sticking out of my arm.
I need to not knock the port on anything, or barf all over it.
and lay low at the house. The bag changes sunday afteroon.
Monday monring, I will arrange a ride to the doctors office at 8:45, where they will take blood, then remove the vein port from my arm.
and hopefully I will be able to take in normal fluid over the next week.
Except for the fact that there is a huge goddamn THING sticking out of me, that makes me barf every time I look in the general direction, and my appeetitie is totally shot.
i hate being on chemo. I hate this.
wilth all best hopes, I sould be able to eat normally for a few days next week.
i want to cry
