As the Chemo Drips...

After beating ovarian cancer once, I've been re-diagnosed. Here I'll share my journey of chemotherapy and surgery including the ups and downs, laughter and tears and everything in between.

Are you kidding me!!!!!!!

Again I'm up in the middle of the night after a few hours of sleep. The Dr. did prescribe ambien for me to take to sleep, but I haven't been taking it in awhile...thou I think I may have to start taking it again.  Being awake in the middle of the night in a quiet house is not good....my anxiety and fear take over and it's hard to "quiet" the demons in my head.  I had my cat scan yesterday.  Sometime during the night I got up and went downstairs and fell asleep in the chair.  Next thing I know, Bob is shaking me, calling my name and telling me it is 7:45....and that I've got to get up.  Are you kidding me!!!  I have to have BOTH bottles of barium drank by 8:00 and leave for the hospital at 8:15!!!  He had just gotten up and realized he didn't hear me downstairs and found me sound asleep.  I'm not one to move really quick in the morning, but I managed to drink 1 1/2 bottles and get dressed and out the door.  In one way it was nice because I didn't have time to think about it, I just had to do it.  Of course once at the hospital they wanted me to drink MORE barium, but since I've been doing this for YEARS, I knew I had plenty in me to get a good picture.  After I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with Abby and Beth and later in the day visited with the little one I used to babysit.  Day off from all DR.S tomorrow..a day to do what I want..which is probably sleep since I'm up all night!!  Peace.....
