Hi Teresa, What a confusing site to get here and to post something. January 12 I went to my oncologist and they checked my blood, it was low8.1 or so. Anyway they wanted to have a blood transfusion...... so started at 1:15 finished two units of blood, able to leave the hospital at 7.30pm. home by 2.45pm. The experience was not a good one for me January 16 had a chemo session. The chemo made my face swell up and I don't feel good yet. Of course with my face so swollen my dentures don't fit right either. I'm just a big mess. But I will get over it some how. My world won't melt away or disappear. Just feeling sorry for my self I guess. Also praying for my daughter in law with her lung cancer. She is haing pdroblems again. So will just keep praying for her. The weather here has been draining I think forever....seems like it anyway. I know that doesn't help my mood any. I also had to have a blood test at another hospital, while there I had to use the restroom. T got into the room ok, door was really heavy and when I pulled the door open to leave, I got my cane mixed up with the handle of the door, it tore the skin on the back of my right hand aprox size of a large quarter. So Ihave had that bandage for over 10 days now. My skin is so thin, it takes a long time for me to heal. What a terrible three weeks. Oh I wil get over it just takes time. shodrtshot80) Nancy
