Nothing like a dislocation to wake you up in the morning..
I had my fourth chemo treatment last Wednesday, only two left! I now have to go in to my Oncologist's office once a week, to get blood drawn because my white blood cells were so low the last time. I feel good this time, it could be because they cut back on Adria (the red devil). That was the drug that I was hoping they would cut back on (Adria causes the upset stomach, low wbc's). Saturday night was Mindy's Halloween party, it was fun, I was Bellatrix from Harry Potter. If you don't know who that is, she appears mainly in the last three books. On Sunday, I slipped in the shower and dislocated my knee. For those of you who know me, this isn't an uncommon thing. Well, the falling in the shower is uncommon. I had a little mini melt down afterword. I think everything just built up to the point where it had to escape. I was on the phone with Ed and I just couldn't stop crying. I told him that my body is letting me down. Afterward I felt compelled to do something about it. Only, my stupid knee is swollen and I can't get around very well. Ed comes back the week of the 19th for a few days to get packed for the move to NC. I am excited to get out of Iowa and can't wait to be done with chemo. I still have not heard for sure if I will be getting radiation after chemo. I'm hoping that I will not need it and can proceed with reconstruction as soon as I am finished with chemo. I am hoping to be out of Iowa by March, if I could be gone by my birthday, that would be ideal. I just hope everything works out that way.
