Weekend/start/no/school today

So I'm home, the last few days have kind of blurred together.  Saturday was probably the worst day of the weekend...I think that's when the nurse came..not sure tho but she was nice. She showed us to to clean my PICC line and some basic check up stuffs.  Think she'll be back tomorrow sometime to get some of my blood. 0_0.

The real question is how has my body been reacting to all this? Well I'm trying to figure that out myself. Depends on the day, but heartburn and fatigue have been a pretty big part of it.  Saturday I was having a hard time eating but that seemed to have gone away.  This really takes a lot of outta the lungs, i've been feelin winded lately too...I'm not miserable tho, I was able to get out of  the house today for a bit which was pretty nice. 

What's weird is even tho I'm not super hungry, i get these crazy cravings! Like the other night I had to have pizza. It couldn't be any old pizz tho, you know it's right in between deep dish and thin crust?? That's it! It hit the spot. And then I get this lazagna that is AmAzInG! So I'm eating that for breakfast lunch and dinner now. WOW. But aside from the cravings I'm trying to eat as much as I can..Losing weight is a no no right now.  My dad got me these Ensure drinks with all kinds of vitamins and minerals with some added protein. Help keep the weight on and they taste pretty good too.

Maybe I'll go to school tomorrow, I need to talk with a few teachers and straighen some things out.  Dropping a class is the last thing I should be doing but it'll have to be done.  I just don't have the energy for it right now.

  3. Hi Sam...Just looked up the Smart Cycling club and saw so many pictures of you! Glad the chemo is working but sorry you had to spend most of the week in the hospital due to the possible bacteria infection. I'm glad they are being so careful because you are such a special guy and my FAVORITE cyclist! Hugs and kisses(with bright red lipstick)! Judy
