Not much has happened in the last week. Blood work came back good including potassium this week. I've been concentrating on eating food containing potassium including orange juice, pineapple, baked potato's, Progresso Chicken soup (has tons of K due to using potassium chloride as a salt), etc. I am tired of eating bananas so I'm trying to get more creative in things to eat.
Yesterdays chemo was another fun day. Requested Susan since she still seems to be the only one who could get my IV started. Waited 1.5 hours to be called and told someone else would get my IV started and start my Zometa (bone strengthener) until Susan was freed up. DUH!!!! If someone else starts my IV I really don't need Susan and I waited 1.5 hours for nothing! As you could imagine this brought out the "sweetness" in my personality - NOT! So the new nurse tried to find a vein until she gave up (thankfully she had enough sense not to try to stick me with needles knowing she couldn't find a vein) and went and found Susan. Susan laughed when she came in to the room and said she told them the same thing I thought - "If you get her IV started she doesn't need me!" So now almost 2 hours of sitting before they started treatments. Just another day in ......... (you fill in the blank).
Otherwise everything else is going well. Just tired as usual and frustrated that I can't do anything once I get home in the evening. Hopefully this weekend I could take a stab at trying to clean the house one room at a time. It may take all day to do the living-room but I'm bound and determined to do it.
Until next week - keep warm and healthy!
