CaringBridge Blog Day 7

Day 7 – ONE WEEK DOWN!!
This exact time last week I had not a single clue as to what was going to be happening to me or my body in the near future.
I have stayed nearly active weeks days prior to admit here at Mayo. I mean come on, I went skateboarding a week ago.
To flashforward now to this current week and I cant seem to find all that energy. Typing up the journal logs gets tired on my fingers as I press each individual key. Getting in and out of bed gets me winded and a little dizzy. I do not like checking my phone as its pretty heavy in my hands. My eyes are either so blurry from being tired or I just cant see well with the lighting in here. AGAIN… I want to use this as a disclaimer that I am never feeling any sort of SUFFERING whatsoever. I clearly try to write down all that I am going through for history in hoping that one day I or someone else may stumble upon my journals to ease their mind but really know what to expect. END DISCLAIMER.

I hate not being in the loop of things. Let me know what to expect and I can expect it, period. Good or bad. The nurses are super nice tho, their response is always “well, everyone is different”. I guess ill have to wing it and see how bad it gets.

Took my last chemotherapy treatment today. I don’t remember much as they help sedate you all day it seems. I do remember getting snarky with my male nurse says “dude wtf?! You were just in here 10 minutes ago for vitals” little had I known it had been 2 hours. It’s the meds…. I blame the medications lol.

I keep dreaming different dreams where each one I can never stay awake long enough for the ending. For example today I must have had 18 different dreams all in different places with different people. I was so frustrated I didn’t know where I was and why I left the hospital. Crazy what these medications make your mid do.

These past few days haven’t been very active for me. Chemo takes a lot out of you. Been a lot of sleeping etc.

Tomorrow is transplant day. I will try to get as many pictures of the process as I can to share with all of you. Thanks for the continued reading and the ongoing love and support for Ashley and our Boys.

They say its my new birthday tomorrow… Until we meet again…
