I had a bad reaction yesterday. I feel like caca poo poo today.
About an hour into the IV, I started having these low back pains - like spasms/cramps. The nurses say it feels exactly like what back labor feels like. I had the shakes a little and was supremely nauseated. I didn't really want to say anything, but the nurse knows me fairly well and knew that I was feeling punk.
They had already given me benadryl and some tylenol. After the spasms, they gave me some darvocet (I think) and some medrol. I was HIGH. Mom drove me there, so at least I had a ride home. Then I took Zoe to see the movie Gracie (a girl soccer movie which was ok, but slow - although worth it to see Elizabeth Shue and her cute bro, Andrew). Went to County Line, but I couldn't eat. Took home nearly an entire meal.
So today I was a big fat lamer. I have about zero energy and no motivation to do anything. Zoe and I chilled and watched The Pursuit of Happyness again. I think I need a dose of Kill Bill, so I might break out KB 1 & 2 tonight.
Anyway, that's about it for now. The highlight of my day will be taking a shower. Well that and the yum pancakes mom made for lunch: whole wheat with blueberries, yogurt, walnuts, and oatmeal in them. Delish! I had some New Zorleans coffee and I was in heaven.
I can do this. I think I will bust a move pretty soon.
Your assignment today is to sweat. Get moving today. Go plant something. Get thee to a beach or a pool. Walk. Run. Bike. Take your chirrins to a park. Or just play. If you do it, I will too.
Thanks Mrs. Gazz. I needed that email today. Not sure when the book will blossom, Claire. She's in there somewhere, I just need to crank her out.
Posted by debutaunt at June 2, 2007 06:11 PMWhoo hooo, I completed an assignment a la ESP; I busted tail helping my twin-chirrins do a "Kids' Sale" so the twinsies can get better bears and bunches of accessories for them at Build-A-Bear next weekend. Then I worked a bit on pirate-wear for Cody and his younger friend, Cherry, so they can be the High Seas fashionistas at cancer-kid camp which starts tomorrow. Then I worked in my garden which is coming right along - amazing since we live at 7,500ft altitude and have had a late start on warm weather. We've already been eating lettuce and spinach from it! I totally sweated today and it feels great!
I'm sorry you had a cruddy day; I hope each moment brings you closer to feeling muy bueno.
Posted by: Bren, Cody'sMom at June 2, 2007 09:14 PMDeb, hope you get to feeling better. Keep cranking on your blog. You can do this. You have a God-given talent as a writer. Love your blog, and miss reading it!
Love, Carla
Hattori Hanzo: For those regarded as warriors, when engaged in combat the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern. Suppress all human emotion and compassion. Kill whoever stands in thy way, even if that be Lord God, or Buddha himself. This truth lies at the heart of the art of combat.
Keep on fightin', girl.
Thinking of you.

Posted by: Claire at June 3, 2007 08:35 AMI'm digging up bushes that didn't make it through the winter, and digging holes for new ones. It's very humid and I'm pretty sweaty - does that count?
Hope so, because after this, I'm retiring to the porch with a book and a diet coke.
Hope you feel better today!
Posted by: Loretta at June 3, 2007 10:48 AMSorry your feeling terrible...but you sure know your stuff when it comes to your IVIG. My son had to have the IVGG when he way young..it is liquid gold. It was a drug I hated but loved at the same time.
I hope your IVIG...does its magic.
