this has been a crazy month, so the posting has been light. sorry. i really don't even know where to start, as so many things seemed to have happened, yet not to me, per se. A good friend had a baby, and then her dad passed away suddenly. another good friend lost his brother. my grandmother got injured at Lowe's because some punk wasn't paying attention and dropped something on her. isn't that just crazy? she's ok, but still? and then my dear friend from work, just three weeks ago, noticed a lump on her neck. She started chemo yesterday for Hodgkins Lymphoma. she had not felt sick. nothing, and then a dr. tells you are sick. really sick. crazy. really crazy, i say. so I was with her yesterday, along with some other friends of hers, as they pushed 20 cc's of red chemo into her port. that was wild. the nurse said the drug would burn your skin if you touched it. I am a nurse, but that was...well, it was strange. but... my friend is brave and unafraid and is going to fight this with everything she is, and i love her for that. so last nite after a day in the chemo room, errands, lots of heat, and gigantic headache, i went to sleep. i dreamed about red chemo drugs all nite.
