First day in the books! High school cheerleader jump move (definitely not the splits jump, hard pass)/1990's MC Hammer moves/stirrin the bucket hip hop legend dance moves are IN DA HOUSE!!!!
Oh my gosh. It went so well. I can't express how awesome everyone is at Nebraska Medicine and specifically the Buffet Cancer Center. Very kind and helpful. Easy directions in a massive hospital. The first impression totally made the day awesome. I know nothing about infusion centers. I thought we all sat in a circle in recliners and I'd be giving the "Meet The Fockers" eye look with my fingers/circle of trust to people that weren't heaving or something. I GOT MY OWN ROOM!! This was the game changer today. I didn't give a crap whatever happened, I had my own room to have it happen in. Hallelujah Chorus!!!
IV started. Icky med (antibodies) started. Cruised through an hour an a half. Then my ears, mouth and throat got itchy and my chest had a little tightness. Got second round of Benadryl and Roids, paused the infusion for an hour. Cranked it back up and had no other problems. Got a quick dose of chemo and was done and out of there by 3. WOOHOOOO!!, Complete black and white of what I was anxiously thinking it would be. Tomorrow is just chemo. Then we wait and see what side effects will be. Days 3-7 ish. Top 2 are fatigue and nausea. Very low risk for hair loss.
Shoutin to the Lord..."Thank you Jesus! for listening to all of these people's prayers, all the prayers that I don't know are being said, for watching over me, giving me strength and confidence to walk in and get it done. Allowing everything to go so smoothly. AMEN"
I've told my local friends, I see how God prepped me for this in my life. My move to Omaha, getting out of toxic relationships to put me with the best people to be there for me when I needed them the most. Having local excellent treatment. Allowing me to have a strong church family, the friends that are new in Omaha, and the oldies back in the 'hood. Man, I am so thankful. Grateful for the blessings I have. Super love to you all today. Thank you for your words, prayers, chemo day projects, loving me for who I am, rides, ears for venting, shoulders for crying.
