I am one of those gals that goes kicking and screaming to the doctor. I just hate taking the time and energy to do it (at least that was before all this happened). I had an in-grown toenail about a year ago and finally went to the doctor after I couldn't even walk on it cuz it was so inflamed and throbbing. (I know stupid!) But if I had not gone in for that toenail, they never would have seen how swollen my face and body were, and I would not have known that I had an underactive thyroid. So I should have learned from that process that it's good to go to the doctor. But I am getting so sick of it already. 5 appts in 1 week is a lot. And although I like most of my doctors, I just get tired of going. I know, boo hoo....I am having a pity party today. But I wish it involved less poking and prodding and more treating. I have to say I thought I would get use to showing the girls to just about anyone, but there is still a bit of a flush that comes over me each time I have to show them. (It's different when you are not liquored up and people aren't throwing beads at you.....) So today I get my right girl filled for the first time. I can hardly feel that side. It's strange. It almost feels like when your arm is asleep and it's almost waking up, but not quite and you can take it and swing it around like a weapon that is not really part of your body. Don't laugh, I know you have all done that before!!! They are healing nicely and hopefully I will be pain free one day....can't wait for that day!
I get my port put in on next Tuesday. This is so they will not have to put an IV in my arm each and every time. It will be located by my collar bone and they will hook the chemo meds to it each time. They give you the same type of anethesia that they give for a colonoscopy and I didn't feel a thing when I had mine so I am not worried at all....looking forward to a little semi-conscious siesta!!! LOL!
