round 3 of chemo -1 new treatment down

 
Well I did my first treatment a week ago on Monday. It was easy to go in and get it. It took about 4 hours all together.
 
I thought I was breezing through it and on the 3rd day I was ready to go shopping. Then at about 11:30 I sat down and cryed and needed to go home. Overcome by emotions (prednisone) I went home and slept. Then each day seemed worse. I went in yesterday and they said that I had cough a cold on top of the chemo. Bad cough. I am taking strong antibiotics and hope to keep this reined in. My low blood count days start today and for about the next 4 days. Needless to say I am staying home and away from anyone sick. Even though I was passing mine around when I thought it was from the chemo.
Our house is all packed up and it will get loaded up o Saturday. We move to the hotel on Saturday and should be able to take possession of our new place on the 12 or 13th.
Then we will have about 2-3 weeks of work and then we can move in. We still wont have a kitchen in, but to just get settled into our new place will be great. The new kitchen will be in in about 6 weeks from closing. I will post before and after pics. Dan and I are building and fluffing a very comfortable nest for the two of us to rest in. We think that we will have more time to be with our family and friends. Not having a yard or a big home to always consume our time and energy. It is better spent else where.
