All is well

I do believe they are throwing everything in their chemo arsenal at this thing, but I'm holding up very well under the onslaught. My complaints are minimal.

The large doses of steroids make me crazy - jittery and shaking, laughing one minute then crying over nothing the next. Having been through all this, Jimmy sits there and laughs at me, which makes me laugh. A nurse was telling me about one woman on steroids who had her credit cards with her and bought everything they put up for sale on QVC one afternoon.

Pardon me if I'm giving Too Much Information, but my weight was up 20 lbs this morning from all the fluids they're pumping in, so now I'm on a diuretic and running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. They may have to postpone the spinal puncture scheduled for this afternoon. No way can I lie flat for a couple of hours!

Is this a great card or what?
