Today was a Really Good Day!

I only monitored testing this morning, so I had the afternoon off.  We went to Wal-Mart and got my anti nausea pills and they were only $.48!!!  They worked for me when I was taking chemo in 2007, so I hope they'll work this time, too.  I just love that price, though!  I sure thank God for giving me that financial break on top of the one yesterday where I learned that my copay for the Xeloda is ZERO!  This is so wonderful. It has been very expensive to keep up with this cancer 'habit' over the last 8 years, so I'm sure ready for some breaks!

While at Wal-Mart I got the lotion they recommend for my hands and feet.  There was another thing they recommended, but Wal-Mart didn't have it.  I looked it up on the Internet and found that the local Farm and Garden store carries it!  So, I went there and got that.  It's Bag Balm and dairy farmers use it on the cows' udders to keep them in good shape.  I'm a little dismayed, but if it works, I'm happy to use it!

Tomorrow I sub all day for the algebra teacher.  That means I'll write the assignments on the board and then be sure they don't start any fires or hurt anyone, because I sure won't be teaching any algebra.  I'm amazed at how well the kids do with it, though.  There is usually someone in every class who can help the others if they get stuck.  I thank God for those kids, too!

Tomorrow my chemo pills should arrive, so I'll take my first treatment tomorrow night after supper.  I'm hoping I can be one of the people who handle this really well.  I'll report to you as the time passes and I notice (or don't ) any problems.  Again, I'm hoping for no problems!
