Bad reaction to carboplatin #2
Crashed big time on 2nd round of carboplatin..So carbo is off the table for further use. One less chemo in my doctor's bag of tricks. After experiencing what I can only surmise would have been a bad LSD trip including dayglo colors, red skin, lungs and heart spasms, I had at least 6 nurses, 2 techs and 1 doctor working on me. Got me back to normal (yes, that's questionable) but Megan and troops had to come to the rescue to drive me home. Megan had to remember how to drive my stick shift and Alex and the kids followed us home. Alex and troops had brought me macademia nut cookies. Jenna was thrilled to be able to run in the middle of my dead-end street when she, Tyler and Alex walked Ditto. Both Dylan and Megan offered to spend the night but allowed me to dismiss their offers in lieu of making sure my retired hospice nurse neighbor was on-call. Just lucky timing it happened before Mother's Day. How to make sure I'm appreciated. Dylan didn't understand when I told him I had thought "I'd bought the farm." Wonder where that term became synonymous with "pushing up daisies." It should be a very happy Mother's Day: Megan, Jenna and I have a field trip planned to the American Doll Store in Virginia to get Jenna a doll and a horse for her birthday May 15.
