Hi! Karen (burp)--just finished eating a big meal. Maybe this fat I'm acquiring will help fight the woes of chemo. I'm on 3 different pain meds. A visiting Nurse told me not to tell anyone what I'm taking cause the wrong person might find out and "bop" me in the head to get it. I don't like the "nodding" that I'm doing after taking the one kind. Why do people like being on drugs and not having any self-control? I go for my chemo Tues and will let you children know how I'm progressing. I've had a lot of friends preparing food and my sister has been spending the night. Twice, after she has left I've had to call 911. I was having panic attacks. The Waukegan Fire Dept folks responded very quick and was so nice to me. There's really nothing medically that can be done about anxiety attacks. You're told to breathe slowly, however when you feel like your heart is going to burst out of your chest, its hard to do anything SLOWLY. My sister is very hyper and I'm glad she wasn't around when I needed help. The other evening I was not getting any oxygen and boy did I go into a tizzy. Problem was that one of the tubing had came loose from the Oxygen Tank. Boy, I check that tank all the time. And since I'm on predisone, and being a diabetic, I have to test my gluclose readings frequently. :cry: But you know, I realize that there are people worse off than I am so QUIT YOUR BEEFING BLACK DIAMOND. Love yall (I don't feel like spell checking :roll: 
Thanks! Thought I was headed to a Nursing Home :?
