I arrived for chemo at 10:30am...not breathing too bad...but not great. My oxygen level was borderline so it took them awhile to decide if I should have chemo today or not. During chemo, they pump me full of about 3 liters of fluid...seems like halfway through I start to struggle more and more with my breathing. I'm starting to think the port in my chest that the chemo pumps through is wired wrong...seems to be dripping directly into my right lung.
I told them I wanted the chemo treatment...we'll just have to tap my lung again tomorrow...my CA125 is too high to be pussy footing around just because I can't breath...whatever people! I just need to have a good weekend because it's Zoey's 9th birthday and we've got big plans.
Libby agreed with me...she got me scheduled for a fluid tap tomorrow afternoon...I left the poison chair at 4:30pm and had to go get a chest x-ray done before I left.
Long day...about to get much longer.
Zoey's softball team is in a tournament and her game starts at 6pm...my mom got her there in time because I wasn't sure if I'd make it out to Lee's Summit to warm up by 5:30. They haven't won a game in so long...but they did tonight 10 - 6! Unfortunately, my throbbing headache was gonna have to wait to visit its pillow...winners played again at 9pm. They got spanked pretty good 15 - 5...but they had fun and the season's over...it's all good!
***On a side note: Clark and Christa's daughter Cara had a game at 9pm as well...same place different field...they won! Clark brought snacks for the team...including Propel drinks. We didn't notice until after everyone had left that Propel is full of caffeine and provides a good bolt of energy for 10 year olds at 10:30pm! OOPS...sorry folks! Father of the year...Corky Colwell!!!!
