Headache city today! Other than that I have felt alright. I think my bowels are a little stopped up right now, so I am slowly taking some Senokot so that I hopefully won't go to the other extreme like last time. I tried to run a few errands today but after going to another fabric store with the little girls I didn't feel like I had the energy to go to the grocery store with them as well. After lunch I was able to cut out some fabric for one of the girls' Easter dresses and then after dinner I went to the grocery store without any of the kids.
Well, the nurse from Huntsman called this morning to tell me that my CA-125 number has dropped to 26! So I am down in the normal range now! Yea!! I didn't get a chance to talk to her so I'm not sure if that means that I am officially in remission or what. I guess I will find out for sure in 3 weeks when I go back in to meet with my oncologist.
I'm not sure what's up with MJ's sleeping schedule but it has been completely messed up since she got sick the last time. She didn't take a nap Tuesday or Wednesday of this week (just stayed awake in her bed for an hour or two) and today she played in her bed for an hour before she finally fell asleep. Then once the kids got home from school they woke her up before she was ready so she was completely cranky for a while. When I put her down for bed this evening she has been playing and crying off and on now for the past hour. Hopefully we will get back on a regular schedule here pretty quickly!! I got a facetime call from my oldest sister today and it was nice to talk with her for a few minutes.
I forgot to mention yesterday that on our drive up to the Huntsman Institute, I realized that I had forgotten my purse at home with my I.D. in it. Unfortunately we were almost there and it didn't really make sense to turn around and go back for it. The Huntsman Clinic has a policy that each time you go in for an appointment you're supposed to have an I.D. and your insurance card with you. We decided to just take a chance and hopefully they would let it slide this time. Plus it is usually the same receptionists working there each week I go in so I was hopeful that they would recognize me and not worry about the I.D. Well, as luck would have it when we got up to the clinic there was a man working behind the receptionist desk that I had never seen before! He asked for my I.D. and insurance card and I mentioned that I had forgotten my I.D. at home and he said that that was okay. Whew! DH had his insurance card with him so we used that and then DH paid the copay for me. DH and I have discussed the I.D. policy before and have wondered who would want to go in to a cancer clinic to have lab work done or receive chemo treatment just for fun, masquerading as someone else??
