Chemo Day one, or as i call it birth of "Chemo-Boy"

Well in all the places i have been in dealing with this cancer, UCI Infusion area is tops, i was there on time, they took me back on time , and i was put in a single room, with a nice bed, some chairs, satellite TV, i was styling, figured if i had to waste 4-5 hours this was the way to do it...

Can you say "the nicer the area, the more screwed you are" I knew you could.

I was given such a nice room because of two reasons.

1. The amount of chemicals they were going to put in me were so toxic that if something happened they only had to clean one person (me, Chemo-boy Ta-DA) and..
2. I was going to be stuck in there all day.

i entered the room at 8.15am and did not leave till 5.05pm, yuppers, all day boys and girls,

now the chemicals they put in me are delivered in "bio-hazard" bags, and double bagged at that, i have dealt with more chemo i had ever wanted to and that was before i had to have it, some of you will remember my mom and my best friends mom were cancer patients so he and i got to see way to much of chemo, and my friend i will understand that if you do not want to deal with me and mine, i can really understand that and there would be no ill will from me or anyone over it, and if they speak up, they can speak to me.

But i know how this stuff is bagged, and the more the bag and how they treat it (handling wise) the more dangerous it is, so when the two Rn's (yes real Rn's) came in to cross check and make sure who i was i knew i was up the creek without a paddle (or a date) when they did that 3 times, what can i say, aside from glowing in the dark from all the radiation, you guys cannot just toss me in some ole dump now when i pass.

but i am now home, i am wearing the latest craze, i like to call it "chemo-bling" it's a bag i am carring my toxic cocktail around in, i am thinking about putting some pins one it, thinking i might have Christies niece "bedazzle it" and put some biker pins on, i might start a whole new craze, well in chemo land that is.

well now i have to sleep in my recliner tonight, i am not sure how i would sleep in my bed with this, so it's recliner land for me.

later all..

P.S. speaking of recliners, my new recliner is set to be delivered on Saturday, whats the big deal? its one built for a person my size, its designed for a person 6'8" and 350 pounds, well i am no where near 350 anymore (249 as of today) but i am still 6'7" when stretched out this chair reaches the leangh of a king size bed, i am so happy.
