Shot 4/44 to go!



The above picture is the Chinese Room at the Smith Tower which is where Adrian and I will get married in November. The room is 34 stories up right up near the steeple of the building. I am soooooo happy!!!

I took my shot Friday early evening (about 4:00) I was at work and took it here, only because Adrian and I were going to eat with his brother and wife and son.

I didn’t gt much SOB that evening, but I did take my shot with 1 strong valium and about 3 extra strength Tylenols.

Dinner went well, and although I was queasy, I managed to get a salad down. Most of my evening was sx free and the only discomfort I was in was due to my anxiety over possible pending sides.

It is become somewhat awkward to eat, due to my newly settled feeling of always being nauseous. I don’t know what is going to go down until it is in front of me.

I usually get most of my food down mid-afternoon. I do smoke weed which I am not promoting it, only giving acknowledgement that it does in fact, give me horrendous munchies. During this time, I can almost get anything down. And it tastes so good.

Adrian’s sister n law was fussing at me to eat all night which was pretty uncomformfortable in that as much as I would have loved to eat more, I probably would have thrown it up. We went over to his brothers house after that and played cards which was fun.

Saturday, Adrian’s cousin came into town (yes, the same one who brought the weird drunk woman over 2 weeks ago)…Anyway, he came alone. Thank God. We all went to Muckleshoot Casino for a little while which treated Adrian pretty well as far as winning money....., and then off to our concert which was totally fun. We had good seats and saw a few co-workers/friends there we knew.

Sunday: We went over to my friend Maria’s house who I haven’t seen in a while. She was doing well, and we took a gift to her son. It was fun.

Monday – Well thank god I have had few sx today. Only some tiredness and the also knew norm for myself: my legs feel like jelly and this typing is making my arms sore.

This weekend is Makah Days, so I will be travelling with Adrian, my daughter and her boyfriend to stay at my mom’s for the weekend. It will be fun! I can’t wait to see my daughter. I have not seen her in a couple of years. Adrian actually has gone through the process of getting her up her to see me. I am having a happy period of my life these days, despite the newly started tx, life is totally good.

Hey Lady! I totally believe that they should prescribe weed to anyone who is on tx! It is the one thing that helps your ability to eat and it also helps your attitude to get through this. I can't stand AD's and weed has a tendency to help me relax at night.

LOL....so while on tx....yes I would promote weed! :)

Thank God your body has started adjusting to the drugs. You'll have a little relief for a bit. Just don't do what I did and start trying to act normal because your body will wind up reminding you that you are on tx and you will pay.

Go slow when you have to. Rest when you can. Do not over do it. The drugs are going to build up in your system now and they kick your ass if you push too hard.

About your nausea. I found that I can not eat beef very often. Sometimes it smells good but then I try some and the nausea hits hard.

I try to eat small meals often...lots of snacks. Lots and Lots of water.

In the beginning I could hardly eat anything. That got a little better the further into tx I got. Now nausea comes and goes. It just depends on the day.

Hang in there my friend....and take it easy! :)

((Hugs))
