today was my 5th round of chemo. a short day...just one drug. but it was another fun day, because my friend ellyn was there too. she was getting her bone transfusion meds. (*post note...i was just reading ellyns blog, and i made a stupid mistake. of course shes not getting a bone transfusion!!! its a bone INFUSION!!!. it was too funny to
correct without keeping the original mistake on here...) so...she came into my room before her treatment, and when she left for the chemo room, she said, "ill save you a seat". i dont know why...but i had flashbacks to the high school cafeteria. and the high school bus. whatever. i thought it was funny. saving seats. so high school-ish!!!
anyway...we gabbed. shes so cool. so do only really great people get cancer? everyone i meet is so undeserving of this disease. she has an awesome blog, so check it out. ellyndavidson.wordpress.com. while were on the subject, my new friend, pam writes a very funny blog. pamlucken.blogspot.com. both excellent blogs which i read religioulsy.
so...back to today...
i wore my battle "chemo pants" again; even if it was 4,000 degrees today. funny thing...is that i learned that ellyn also has special "chemo pants" 2 pairs. i found that interesting. also found it interesting that she plans on getting rid of them. i hadnt thought that way...but i think its a good idea. i also saw mr. him him him, new ailment new ailment new ailment. when i asked how he was doing, his response was, "well, im still here. im not pushing up daisies yet". ok..ill accept that. i told him that was a good thing.
so other than that, chemo was uneventful. oh...in the pic above, i have a piece of paper covering my IV. im a total freak and cant stand looking at the line going into my arm. kinda funny since it is NOTHING compared to what ive had sticking in AND out of my body in the past. ok perverts...mind outta the gutter. (or is it only my mind that went to the gutter with that comment?) and on another positive chemo note..i actually have done a little bonding with the office staff. they even know my name now! i no longer feel like a total outcast. just another little flashback to high school....wanting to be a part of the "scene". actually...this is a scene i could do without. but if i have to be a part of the chemo scene...at least i want to be popular! duh! and one more good note. the chemo nurse i had today told me that she used to be in a nurse in the psych ward. the good news with this...is that i didnt recognize her from the psych ward. i told her i hadnt made it into that ward yet...but i could very easily be thrown in there eventually. so ill make sure to be extra nice to her, incase we ever run into each other again on the "mental floor". i told her ive seen "one flew over the cukoos nest", and "girl interrupted", so i know how it all works. youve gotta get on their good side so you can get the good drugs and avoid the straightjacket. thats me....always planning ahead. and ill be sure that if i ever get to the psych ward, that i get in with the "cool crowd" over there too. i mean...if youre gonna be in the loony bin...you still want to be popular. duh!!!

Weird, eh? I think it's that good people gravitate to each other. Assholes get cancer too (trust me)---they don't deserve it either, but chemo rarely cures them of assholeishness. When they come up with a drug for that...
