Last Chemo Treatment

Today was the day, the last day!!!! Things went well. My WBC count was at 2.6 but the Dr. gave the order to go ahead and give it (It's supposed to be at 3). Only had to be stuck twice; once for the lab work and once for the chemo. The chemo needle was put in my left hand today so it was much easier to get things done (knitting). Four out of the six times it was in my right hand and NOT very convenient. Not too long of a day. Arrived at 8:30 and left at 2:30. I-Pod song melange today was Enya, The Brandenburg Suites, and Coldplay. I tried to take a nap but never really fell asleep. I stayed up until midnight to take my meds and then woke at five to visit the john and never went back to sleep. I got up at 6, took more meds and got into the shower. I thought I'd be able to get a few winks but I guess I'll hit the hay earlier this evening.

Took Paxton for a walk at 7:00 and saw the sun come up. It was very peaceful, didn't see anyone. When I got home I took Paxton for another walk with the neighborhood pups. He was very energetic, probably because he was in the crate all day.

Quote of the day from one of the ladies at chemo: "All of that Haiti stuff is so depressing. They need to spade or neuter (whichever one it is) all of the women there so all of those children will not be living on the street." I'm glad she wasn't talking directly to me because I don't think I could have responded with anything more than a grunt, or moan, or hum.

Walmart Sighting: Woman walking with her coat open, packing a pistol on her hip. Steve saw her and then pointed her out to me. He practically ran in the other direction.

2 books I finished: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Both were good books and worth reading. I probably liked the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo better because some of the technical stuff from the other book, about building a windmill, went over my head. I don't think I could really appreciate how amazing it really was.

We are supposed to get snow again starting Friday and going into Saturday afternoon. I don't think they really know how much we're going to get because it keeps changing. I think we'll have to just wait and see what happens.
