Its been a while since I have been on here, I decided I needed to give a quick update. In the 11 "business" days since I have left from surgery, I have been to a doctor's appointment 7 of those days. So its been a blast! Okay, not really.
I got my drain lines out. The nicest part of getting the drain lines removed is I don't feel like a spider or octopus anymore. Having two on each side felt like tentacles that would hang around, it was like they were dragging me down. If I wanted to get crazy I could swing around in a circle and let them fly!! Lets be honest, the hurt hanging there so I would never do that, still it could have been cool? I cannot tell a lie, getting them removed was probably top 5 painful things I have experienced in my lifetime. The nurse cut off the tape, told me to inhale and exhale. On the exhale she ripped them out, there was no pause, or gentleness about it. They came out in a solid swoop. I could feel it as it was exiting my body. I also heard them come out! It made the same sound when you get to the bottom of a slurpy, there's just enough to have a drink but not quite enough that you do not have to work for it.
On top of the drain lines getting removed, I got the eggs removed too! Yay for the back up plan! Chemo can't stop me from having babies! The retrieved 57 eggs! Yes that is right...57...holy crap! However, not all of them fertilized only 32....just 32..and yes that's a heck of lot. The embryo lady that called me said "We are not use to having this many eggs fertilize, but your case is different, you didn't have fertility issues, you had cancer." Why thanks? I wasn't really sure how to respond to that. For the record...I do not want 32 babies, only a couple, the number will go down once they prepare for the freezing process. Anyway, I needed to have a back up plan, and more of the back up the higher chance of the Kelly jr's and Jesse jr's running around.
What else is new?? The pain meds have given me the illusion that I am better then I am. I was feeling so good I decided I didn't need the meds...boy was I wrong, as soon as all the residual meds left my system, I decided that nope, I still need occasional pain pill to make my day a better place. So back on them I am.
Lastly, I am getting a chemotherapy port surgically placed on the 1st of August, shortly after that I will begin my second round of kicking Cancer's butt.
The score so far KP-1 The Big C - 0
