Oh Bri PLEASE get someone to take photos :)
(They don't have to show your face if you're shy.)

My family love a good bruise picture - Dad used to feel quite disappointed when Grandad demurred after one of his falls. I have a great picture of me in front of the Christmas tree one year, taken to show off my injuries (fell face down onto gravel - had to go to A&E to have a stone dug out of my forehead)

mmm...I'll see if my lil sis has a phone you can put pics on the computer with....it IS pretty spectacular. When I touch it it doesn't feel like my own skin but like a mannequin or something--Ewwww! all numbish and foreign. The one-sided swelling of my face is, as you can imagine, incredibly flattering but the large, perfectly circular insertion scar ON MY RIGHT JUGULAR LIKE A VAMPIRE WOULD MAKE ON YOU POST-BITE is the oddest thing about it all so far.

PS - vampires ARE the undead, right? If I recall The Lost Boys at all they can explode OR implode, or be struck thru the heart, like Jon Bon Jovi.

I am reminded of a Law & Order: CI rerun from last night...

"...you just wanted to play your sad little vampire games, and have sad little vampire sex, in a sad little vampire pine box, that's all!"

I get my first chemo at 10:00 this morning. Gulp. Sorry no pic of my MOST awesome bruise, but I've no digital camera and sis is in cincinnati, didn't see her as she was working all weekend.

So. I'm in arm 1A of the clinical trial which means I get the straight standard treatment--no extra drugs; I'm in the 'control' group I guess. At first I was disappointed but then i thought, 'well, hey---those extra drugs might turn people into werewolves or something!' AND the very real possibility of more drugs killing my already beat-up liver just that much faster.

I just spent 150.00 on scarves. I'm getting all my hair cut off thursday. i'll need all my ativan for that.

go girl! you'll do fine. and don't forget to post a pic with your new hairdo!

Yick! A forty min procedure turned into a two and a half hour one BUT! They finally got it in there, all sewn into place. My right clavicle, shoulder and breast are at once green, purple, blue, black, yellow and pomegrante-colored. They had a pressure bandage on it but I took it off this morning as was driving me crazy as wouldn't stay stuck on. Because of the difficulty, they had to intubate me (as opposed to twilight sleep) and they said, "It took a hell of a lot of medicine to get her to sleep,"---my receptors are all shot to hell. My own fault.

But the thing is in, the scarves are ordered, and I start taking poison Monday morning!!

Thank you, my virtual pals, for cheering me on. You are a wonderful autonomous collective! ;)
Hang in there lady you can do it!

It appears that the first noticeable side effect of my chemo is (ahem)

When you're sliding into home and your pants begin to foam: Diarrhea! Diarrhea!

When you're sliding into first and your pants are gonna burst: Diarrhea! Diarrhea!

monster 10-09-2007 07:58 AM
Go shopping for brown pants. Camo patterns work well. I've heard.

Hang in there, sending bogroll......:bogroll: :bogroll: :bogroll:

They really ought to warn you about that, if it happens often.
I salute your sense of humour about it!

Aliantha 10-09-2007 06:08 PM
ok, now I want to know what happens at second and third.

monster 10-09-2007 07:44 PM
Google led to this (I'm sure you'll be pleased to learn that the 4th hit for my search string was this thread....):

When you're sliding into first
And your pants begin to burst
That's diarrhea, diarrhea

When you're sliding into two
And your pants are filled with goo
That's diarrhea, diarrhea

When you're sliding into third
And you feel a greasy turd
That's diarrhea, diarrhea

When you're sliding into home
And your pants are filled with foam
That's diarrhea, diarrhea

when you're headed for the bench
and you're followed by a stench
That's diarrhea, diarrhea

Think of the weight loss side effects, Bri!

Trilby 10-10-2007 12:53 PM
Today is a baaaad day. I had chemo monday and then yesterday got a neulasta shot (to prevent my WBC's from crashing) and a side effect of the shot is that your long bones--esp. legs, hips, sacrum, all ache, ache, ache as they are being stimulated to make WBC.

This cancer thing is probably going to be a way bigger pain in the ass than I am ready for. dammmmmit! it's my favorite time of the year, too.

And, I feel lonely.

I'll quit bitchin now.

sigh
