Last Chemo Treatment...

Well today is the last day of chemo. And I'm happy is all get out..lol. It has been a long time coming. But I'm not going to complain about how long it's been because there are some people who will be getting chemo for the rest of their life. I'm blessed and thankful that one day I will be cancer free.....

anyways..

I'm so glad my favorite nurse Jennifer is working. She was not here for my last treatment. And the nurse that was assisting me at my last treatment Patrice, yeah she just a little on the rough side. She was good, just a little rough. (She hurt me when she put in my IV and everything). So I tell Jennifer about Patrice, and Jennifer informed me that she use to be a nurse in the service. So that's prob why she's a little rough. But Jennifer on the other hand, is very gentle..

Ok...

So the next step is surgery, a surgery I'm so not looking forward to. I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for this. I mean who really looks forward to surgery...Prob no one...

Ok, the reason for the Friendship 101 entry.

So me and my friend had an argument...

This is the situation...

At this point everybody knows that I have breast cancer, and I'm on leave from work. So when she goes to work I watch the kids, (my daughter and hers). OK. so I asked/told her last week that she needs to take Tues July 28th off because I had to go to chemo, and I didn't want to take the kids. Because for one, it's a hospital, two I will be getting chemo and there will be others there doing the same thing, three they just make to much noise. and other reasons I don't need to get into...

any ways...

so as far as I know she was taking the day off, so today July 27, I go to her and ask her did she take tomorrow off. She then tells me that she can't take any more days off...(Hold up) so I asked why didn't you tell me that..she said she just found out on Thurs and she forgot I didn't want to take the kids...now how you forget that, I don't know. And it didn't come to you at all even though you are off Fri, Sat and Sun. I mean even when I mentioned, it's my last chemo treatment, or that I didn't want to go. WOW amazes me...

anyways

we get into an argument because I feel like it was inconsiderate, to even forget, this is my life, my health and you forget something as important as this. I mean I understand she has been going thru some stuff, and she has been stressed and I haven't forgot that..But nothing she is going through compares to having cancer. And if it was the other way around, I wouldn't forgot that. Did I mention this is suppose to be my best friend.

Friendship 101 thoughts...

Is there a Friendship for Dummies book out there somewhere?

Is there really a such thing a best friend?

Can a real Friendship over come anything?

Maybe I don't know the definition to the word Friendship?

Maybe I'm the one doing it wrong?

When 2 friends are having problems, the one with the biggest problem out trumps yours.

You should always take you friends feeling in consideration.

When a friend feels something is important as a friend you should remember it.

Hold on AM I a good friend.

Maybe I think I am but really not?

Will my friends comment on this?

I guess I will stop here...

Just not feeling it today.

How come when there are things to be done, that's the day when you don't feel like doing anything? Now if there was nothing to be done (which is never), but if that day occurred, you would be full of energy.

I say that because I can think of about 5 or 6 things/chores that need to be done. And I don't feel like doing anything at all today. I could blame it on the cancer..because that's a good excuse. But the truth is I just want to be lazy. I'm tired, I feel like I need a nap. but that won't be happening with my 6yr old daughter and 7 yr old niece here. So what is a Mom to do.

I don't really know....maybe I will just wing it....

I got some Tylenol 3's

I went to Chemo on Tues of this week. I was suppose to take my nuelasta shot on Wed, to help boost my white blood cells. But I was so wrapped in my son's mess I forgot all about the damn shot. So my doctor had me come on Thurs and take it. And I swear every since they gave me that shot, my body has been aching. But this time I got me some Tylenol 3's, and they work for the most part. But I still kinda hurt. I was suppose to take my daughter skating today, but my legs would have gave out. The Tylenol 3's are not that damn good...lol. So I will just take her next week, when her friends can go with her. So instead we went school shopping. We only got a couple of things. I decided to start early, since I will have to have surgery and I may be beat down when school starts. And her daddy don't shop like that. And she can't look beat down going to school....

Well I am going to pop me 2 more of these Tylenols. Post a couple of things on Facebook, until the meds kick in. And the Hubs should be home soon.

Smooches.
