Nothing New - doing fine

 I can't believe it has been a week here already! I really can't. It's been somewhat uneventful except I "failed" an Orthostatic test. They take your blood pressure laying down and then standing up. If the systolic, or upper, number goes up more than 30 points, you have to on an alarmed bed because they are afraid you'll have dizziness and falls. It's a real bummer when it happens. I already have to ask someone to walk me like a puppy and now I have to call or anything at all like using the bathroom. 

It only lasted a few hours. They gave me a bolus of fluids and rechecked me and I was fine. 

The rash is still angry looking but I looked back in my blogs to find I had a very similar reaction when I first started chemo here in July. They aren't worried unless it spreads quickly or shows some sort of skin disintegration. 

Just sent Andy, my trouper, home to do laundry, pick up some prescriptions, and get a good night's sleep.

Love ya. all

Ya, I'm starting cytotoxic chemo tomorrow.

The good and the bad - accepting both.

Staying flexible and trusting in God's perfect timing
