…has never spent a night in a hospital. I have been getting lots of texts and FB posts asking me how I am feeling. Right now I feel fine except for one thing. I am tired. really tired. My friend Lisa, who has also undergwent chemo, said the worse side effect she experienced was not being able to go to sleep. Now, I thought I would have no problem falling asleep, so when they offered to give me something to help sleep, I said no. Big Mistake! Since 4:30pm yesterday my ports have been hooked up to something. And since 4:30pm, the machines have been randomly (not really) admitting loud shreeking noises when they are done. This means I need to call the nurse on call to come turn them off and put in some new meds. This happened all night till 1:30am. Then at 4am I had to get my vitals taken (temperature, heart rate), have blood drawn and a urine sample taken. So even if I taken something to sleep, I would have been woken up anyway….but screw it! I am taking that dam pill tonight. I got no sleep last night. Between 4:30am an 5:30am I watched The Newsroom on my iPod (Thanks again Adam for the headphones!). The rest of the time I read the news on my iPhone, read Twitter, FB and Can I Has Cheezburger?

My next Premeds start at 9:30am and then the Chemo will start around 10:30am. I have ordered some breakfast and coffee. Not sure if I will want to eat any of it but you never know. No hallucinations yet. I spent the night checking myself. I named all the fur kids, living and those who have past, and listed the presidents starting from the current and then went backwards. I realized that after Carter, I not to sure who is next….Ford then Nixon?

Ok, my nurse, Denise, is here to start the Premeds. I will update you all later!
