I'm off to see the Wizard...again

Here we go again. The facts are, I decided enough time had passed and the whole Leukemia thing was far enough behind me that it was time to take care of "normal" healthcare. Get my eyes checked (they got much worse with the chemo), go see Doc Gina for "rue"tine stuff, dentist, you know the drill. So, on February 20th, I go see Gina, she runs the usual blood tests, gives me a script for celebrex cuz of pain in my joints, all that "normal" stuff. On February 23rd, I go get my eyes checked. On February 25th, Gina calls me back in cuz she doesn't like my blood work results. I get it retested and she says..."your counts are half what they were when you saw Dr. Weeks in January. You need to go get a bone marrow biopsy tomorrow". Uh, no. Gina, being Gina says, Uh, yes! FINE! So on February 26th I get to go see my beloved Dr. Weeks for a beloved bone marrow biopsy. On March 3rd I went back in for the results, it's back. I went thru all 7 emotions, you know, denial, anger, depression, accepts, ect in 2.3 seconds flat. The plan was the same as last time. 1 Month in the hospital getting chemo 24/7 the first week, feeling like a zombie the second cuz the chemo literally wipes out your white blood cells, and then building me back up week 3 & 4. Then I was to go to Vanderbuilt in Nashville to do all the pre stuff for a bone marrow transplant, then come home until they were ready for me then go back for 100 days. In other words, 09 was planned out for me. Then on Friday morning, March 6th, I get a call from my sweetest nurse, Miss Peggy at FCC, and she says, change of plan. I'm getting my chemo as an out-patient!!!! She totally made my day! I go to FCC every day for a couple of hours for pre-meds and chemo for 5 days. Doc Weeks is trying something different this time working closely with my doc at Vanderbuilt, Dr. Jagasia. So yesterday, I went to Germantown Methodist at 8:30 a.m. (the devil's time of day) and got my PICC line put in. Started chemo yesterday (a beautiful royal blue!), took a xanax for the PICC line procedure so was asleep most of the day, thru chemo, thru breakfast, thru sex...j/k. Today was my second day of chemo, all is well, I feel good, I'm awake. Visitors and phone calls are welcome until I turn into a stick in the mud.Love you all!
