Day 2

Another day down! I'm not feeling too bad. I had chicken cordon bleu for dinner and ate every bite! It's like I keep waiting for the side effects of the chemo and they have not hit yet. Maybe I won't get any this time! Kyle and I watched a movie this afternoon and played some card games on the computer in the patient lounge. That made the day go by quicker. Then, son, Kyle picked him up after he got off work tonight. I took a quick nap after dinner and then took a walk down the halls. The chemo I take right now is in pill form, but there are 6 capsules and each capsule has 6 little pills in it. It is hard to get them down, but so far so good. I will finish with that type on Friday and then on Saturday I will get an IV chemo called Cytoxan for 2 days. That one has harsh side effects. Monday will be a day of rest from chemo. Then Tuesday, July 25 will be my "new birthday"!!!! The day I receive new life from my sister, Libby! I am ready to ride The Magic School Bus. For those of you who have not read the comments on my blog, on July 16 a friend of my sis in law, Jan, wrote of being in the room with her boyfriend's brother when he received the life saving bone marrow cells and she compared it to the children's book The Magic School Bus. So I am going to call it my magic school bus ride! Ding, Ding, YES I CAN, YES I CAN, YES I CAN, YES I CAN!
