One Third of the Way through....

Busy, busy day yesterday.  I had a CT Scan scheduled at 1:30pm and had to fast for it, which wasn't too hard cause my stomach felt like yuck!! My sister Jill picked me up at noon and we drove to Valencia, to get my portable pump removed.  Then the shot of Neulasta, this will keep my white blood count up where it should be so I don't run the risk of infection, (not a good thing while going through chemo). Then on to Tower Imaging to drink two large cups of disgustingly gross liquid dye....bleeeegh!!
Waiting while the dye does it's work, we took advantage of the nice weather outside, and sat on a bench in the shade, so Jill could eat her apple. By the time she was done they were ready to take me back.  Down a long hallway, through several doors. The technician was very friendly and pleasant, he is the same technician that did my scan back in Feb. After changing and laying down on the table, he hooks up an IV of a contrasting dye color and then he leaves the room. This dye gives you a very warm sensation, it doesn't hurt really, it just sort of makes you feel like your blood is really really warm. Then the scan starts. The procedure itself doesn't take very long, and the machine is open and airy sort of like going into a giant donut, so glad it wasn't one that is enclosed....I wouldn't do well in that.  I told the tech that my surgeon asked for a CD copy of the scan, (he didn't really ask) just so Jill and I could look at it ...lol.  So, when we got home I put it in my computer, of course I don't really know what normal looks like so we weren't sure what the results were. It was kind of fun to look at though.

Anyway, I was totally wiped out yesterday. Still very tired and sore today. But I have a lot to do this morning....so I better get with it and get it done. Praying constantly that I will not have a severe reaction to the Neulasta.

Thank you all for your support....sending you love and light!~
