I'm off to see the wizard...

Okay - I'm waiting for my sister to show up to whisk me off to chemo. First time. NERVOUS!!!! You bet.

I bought new sneakers yesterday. At first I wasn't going to wear them since I've been told you will start to associate even your clothing with chemo and ickness but what the hey. They are happy kind of sneakers (my favorite rocket dogs) with a little rainbow stripe. They also were on sale for $15 so if I only wear them for the next 3 months it's fine with me.

I have pictures from the big chemo hair adventure but for some reason they are not transferring from my phone to my flicker. I will try and work on that later.

Ugh feeling nauseous all ready. Think it's nerves.

Wait till I tell you what the girlies did for me yesterday. Pink things everywhere. Angels and goodies. Piink cupcakes. Thank God I like pink. :) Oh, we also went out to Distillery in Greece and I ate Cajun chicken wings. Hello Goodness. It could only be better if you wrapped it in bacon and dipped it in chocolate milk. (ha no that would be gross - stop it!)

Okay gotta go. Sandy is planning on a shopping trip to Gander Mountain after chemo. I heard I have a bit of time before the nausea sets in so I better limber up so we can shop, shop shop.

The time is now 8:40 PM. Approximately 12 hrs since I last posted. The chemo went much better than I expected. :) Of course I was expecting all kinds of crazy things (imagine that) like the chemo blowing a hole thru my heart or feeling a burn as it ripped thru my body or the ever embarrassing uncontrollable body function at the one moment the whole room is quiet. Knock on wood - none of those horror story things happened.

I was told that one of the drugs I get is red and that it's called the red devil and I will end up hating the color. Uhhh problem..... Red is my favorite color. It has always been my favorite color. Most of my things are red. Time to mentally make me remember why I love red. If you come across some red that will help please drop a comment to let me know.

They said I was given a steroid for some reason that I can't remember and that it would make me wired up a bit. Hmmm I do have laundry to do so I'm hoping it hits at just the right time. I think it was going to peak tomorrow and then I would be slammed with tiredness on Sunday. Can't wait. (HA)

Here is a list of things I want to do or need - any help appreciated...

• Ideas for some interesting hats for when the hair "most likely" will fall out in 2 weeks. All the ones in the book they gave me look like cancer hats. I'm thinking something a bit more stylish (you know me and style!)
• Henna Tattoo - I've gotten approval from Dr Yirinic to have a Henna tattoo put on my head. I don't know if anyone does this so if you know of anyone or anyone I can ask please let me know.
• I want to make a cancer and chemo doll. I've been into super heroes for a while so I'm basing it on them but ..... I'm stumped. I know what I want to do but I sit down and stare. I need some kind of inspiration.
• I need to start walking. I need to actually get my hiney out on the road and moving it. The problem is I really don't want to. I want to eat bon-bons and lay on the couch.

I think chemo brain is hitting all ready. I'm having to stop and think and as you all know that is something I really really hate to do..........
