Drugs...

I never thought I would be taking so many drugs. Earlier in the year, caught a cold and was on about 5 different meds. Jerm joked that I went from 30 to 80 years old! But, now I really feel that way!

Here is my daily regimen:

Actually, I am not taking BC pills anymore and I have added another syringe morning and night! Yay! Not actually, but I am getting used to it again. Poor Bear, he always feels bad sticking me. I have to admit that it did hurt when he did the thigh injections of Lupron. However, my mom was awesome at it. She had to do it to herself for her chemo. So, I had her show Bear how she did it and now it's fine. I guess the thing to remember when you are giving injections is to pinch and just stab it in quick (not hard, but quick) and then dispense and pull out fast. These injections are fine, I am not looking forward to the shots that I need to have later that are in an oil base which means a bigger needle.

So two pokes in the morning and one in the evening for now. My pills aren't so bad, I take about 3 of then in the morning and 2-3 at night.

In case you are around me, I may be irritable. I think I have been fine around friends and family, but poor Bear has to endure a bit of grouchiness. My internal medicine doctor, Dr. Nishida (who is brilliant in personality and care), says that the Lupron and Dexamethasone make people bloated and grouchy. I am also bloated and bruised, so not attractive. I just feel tired.

But, I want to enjoy my break, so I think I will get out and stand up paddle board with Bear tomorrow morning!
