Yes, I know. I promised a long update to the blog on Thursday. Obviously, that did not happen. Well, here you go.
Since coming back from Portland, life has been relatively boring. Most of the side effects were gone as of Wednesday, but I'm still feeling a little icky in the tummy. That may be due to the lack of food going through my digestive tract for 5-6 days. I'm feeling much better today. The itchy dry skin is still around. Aveeno is currently my life saver. I love baths! Oatmeal baths are just an excuse for me to lie in a hot tub reading a book and turning into a prune. But I've never really needed an excuse for that!
I go back to work tomorrow (Monday) in Orofino. I'm still having some sleep pattern funny business, and have been waking up pretty early. Gosh darn that week of being woken up every 2 hours for vitals! So I'll head out at 6 am for work tomorrow.
The next phase in our Cheryl Gets Healthy Master Plan is to go back to Providence Medical Center in Portland for another round of IL-2 the week of October 22-27. Oh Boy. Can you tell how excited I am? On the one hand, this is the best option for remission. On the other, it makes me feel ookey. Hmm. I guess we'll go for ookey for now, as the other option is, well, no option. If any of you want to visit me in the hospital, I would advise swinging by on Monday afternoon. I can't guarantee I'll be in a talkative mood later in the week (Sorry Dave T. and Rhiannon...I tried to carry on a conversation, but, um, I was extra-loopy/ookey).
Life is slowly getting back to normal. Football, football, football! I made a horrible batch of zucchini bread today. Dave went to a Magic event this morning, and just got back home. Life moves on.
