Tomorrow at 11AM I will begin another course of a 6 hour infusion that starts out with aggressive IV hydration. I'm ready and know what to expect, I will not work through my next infusion; I have chosen to allow my pre-medications to take full effect and sleep through my infusion instead of trying to work through it, like I did during my second course. I will have some company during the first couple of hours which I am looking forward to, Yulia is off tomorrow and has offered to visit with me and even bring me lunch (lucky me!:)) while I get my IV fluids.
I plan to take full advantage of my last day of feeling energetic and more like myself than after a treatment. I will head out to Target to do some last minute X-mas shopping in a few minutes--their holiday hours keep them open until 12 midnight. I expect it to be kinda quiet as we got about an inch of snow and it has gotten quite frigid. I don't think there will be many people venturing out to finish their shopping on a night like tonight. Hahaha, I hope I'm right about this or I may regret getting on the icy roads only to find empty shelves and fight long lines. I'm happy to say that I'll have help from my parents who will drive me in their heavy duty 4 x 4; my dad is of course is an awesome driver with tons of experience driving in the snow--he is from Canada!
After tomorrow, I will have completed half of my chemo treatments!!! Yay me! :) It's kinda bitter sweet, although it's going faster than I expected, I'm scared to find 2011 right around the corner. I had so looked forward to 2010 back in 2009; I really thought this past year was going to be MY year--it is the year of the tiger, but somehow, someway it didn't turn out the way I expected. For 2011, I have no expectations; I'll take things as they come, I only hope that at the end of next year I'll be able to say that the year was way better than I expected!
