#91 - Don't Like Last Chemo

Well of course I'm not upset that it's my last day of chemo, today.  I've been awake since 3:30, pondering the thought. (those dang steroids in my anti-nausea drugs are keeping me alert) But I'm just getting the hang of this.  Is is really almost over?

I'm so grateful that I have only needed 4 treatments, when friends have had 12 and 14! I feel like I'm cheating, practically.  And last night when Don and I tried to decide on our "chemo outfits", I was downright disappointed that I couldn't continue right into fall and winter, with all the costume ideas flashing through my head.  

So when we walk in this morning at 9, we'll have to play down the "costumes" a bit. They motivate us and amuse the staff, but we have to be cautious about looking like we're having a party when others are maybe not feeling so celebratory.  And that's what I've been pondering over mostly.  What could I give or share with the others today.  Those folks who doze quietly and probably don't want to be disturbed.  I have bags of the most wonderful lemon drops that are good for easing that metallic chemo mouth.  Or maybe everyone needs a small pumpkin.  It's 6:45 am, is the grocery store open?  I don't know. We'll see.
