Getting ready for my second round!

The past few days have been so busy getting ready for the new school year. During the day I feel great, most days I get up and feel ready to take on a new day and have a list a mile long that I think I will accomplish! ( like everyone else)
Today I worked a little on my classroom, and went to Kansas City Cancer Center ( KCCC) to get my blood work done. All of my numbers were good. My WBC was up and my nurse said it was okay for me to be around  people ( I just have to be careful )...so that is good news. Fortunately, things are going great this week....I can get a few things done during the day before I "hit a wall" and CRASH! ( THank goodness for my wonderful friends who have been providing meals...its such a HUGE help to JD and I! )
 I am looking forward to spending some quality time with the girls the rest of the week and finishing up some school shopping.
 A week from today is my next chemo round. Last time I was nervous because I didn't know what to expect. This time, I'm nervous because I KNOW EXACTLY what to expect! By Next Tues or Wednesday, I will be adopting the phrase once again..." Sucky, Mc suck, suck!!!" This is how you know things suck bad! LOL I am trying to think of semi-sweet ways of saying that because last time I was caught off guard when the receptionist at KCCC was being nice and said, " How is your week going?" I looked at her and said, "It's HELL" on accident...LOL! I think JD was as shocked as I was... I apologized to her for that slipping through the filter! We all laughed about it, but I was kind of embarrassed for being rude. From then on I decided I would adopt some more appropriate phases for when people ask... Because  if people ask, " how are you?" and you say, "fine"....they know you are lieing! right? Ive always felt honestly is the best policy....but I figure if there is a nicer way to say, " Hey thanks for askin, things are sucking right now, but it will get better..." then Ill try that approach! :) One thing JD and I both learned my first time through, is that keeping up with my nausea meds is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I need to take them whether I feel like I need it at the time or not, skipping them mean TROUBLE! I think our medication spreadsheet and notes will help us through this next round! ( thank goodness for spreadsheets and notes!) I know I make fun of that, but I'm so glad JD is so organized....he is the best male nurse a girl could ask for and documentation is key! :)
