It's Melody's Birthday today!!!
My holy terror love bug is 2!
Terrible Twos, times 100. lol. I love her though and she and her sister are my heart, and I wouldn't give them up for anything.
Having a better week- both my boss and husband tell me I'm seeming better- despite my eyelashes and eyebrows consistently falling out , that I look and sound good. I still crash like a Mack Truck with no brakes in San Francisco- HARD- but the levels of fatigue are rising- it's nice.
Work has been kicking my ass since there all of a sudden is a lot to do and helping out my helper get stuff done. Probably one of the last times I will be doing it since this work is not kind to fingernails, hands, feet at all. Taxol causes lifting of the fingernails and toenails- great caution needs to be taken in cases of this since they may have to be removed by a professional in the case of it getting real bad. They turn purple and start to literally break off .
I'm scared of that. So I need to be careful at work and not do the things I did with my fingernails in the past.
A few weeks ago I smacked my fingernail at work with a rubber mallet accidentally and it's hurt ever since. Eek. It's the middle finger ironically. I think it's gonna go downhill from here.
Bone pain has been here and there- nothing really major until late at night- but by then I am totally beat exhausted and dead to the world in bed sleeping by then. I am having some insomnia lately- which doesn't help when I have to be at work at 6am. I crave the weekends. I am allowed to go home during the week when it gets rough, so thankfully I have that because my boss is awesome.
Generally achy too- but I haven't been able to make it to the chiropractor since last week - so I need an appt. there too.
and I'm thirsty ALL THE TIME. I can't get enough water.
I finally got my surgery date too- November 9th.
What is with the 9? I love it- it's my fave # of all time. I got married on 9/9 (Our 9th wedding anniversary was 9/9/99) , I was born in the 9th month, I found my lump on the 9th, I was given my diagnosis on the 9th, and now surgery on the 9th. I have a buttload of instances where 9 keeps coming up in my life- Ernest Borgnine, I even have a tattoo of the number 9..... but now it's gettin' freaky.
Someone once told me John Lennon was the same way with the number 9 too.
So excited for Saturday's trip out of my bubble- I am really having live music withdrawls and I'm missing what a regular summertime usually contains.... Almost here. Just one more day left of work and I head out past the tolls and into Amish Country.
