Chemo education appointment was for 2.00 pm
We got in to see a DVD for 25 mins at 3.30 pm'
Then we waited for half an hour for an extremely harried chemo nurse to come throw some information at us and at 4.15 we were done.
Apparently 2 nurses were out sick and chaos had ensued all day at the chemo palace. Also all the Monday chemo people have to have their blood tests at the hospital and the pathology lab went down for the morning so people booked in for 9 am were getting treatment at 1 pm.......argh it was.
AND the lovely DVD was full of nice positive people talking all about how chemo was giving them a chance to live. Isn't that nice for a Stage 4 patient who is going to die to watch, hmmmm.
And then today was chaos
The modem in the office died overnight so no internet
Excellent for business
Twas eventually found to be a dead power cord so was not too much of a drama but it took 2 hours of interaction with Telstra to find out nothing and one visit from the funny little computer man up the road (and $20) to fix in 5 minutes.......grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Intersperse that with all the rest of the crap that happens in the orifice and my day pretty much sucked.
Oh well, I have come home to a schmick clean house thanks to the K child and a dog who has eaten nothing but dog food for a couple of days so I'm happy
Sort of.....

Typical Monday, huh? Hope today is better! :-)
As usual ... you have a busy life.
Damn computers ... so frustrating when they don't work ... lucky it was just a power cord.
Oh man - that IS a crappy chemo day! Good point about the video! It's funny - they have a need to diminish the "chemo fear" of new patients, but they glom everyone together. I hadn't thought about the negative impact of this before!
As for your computer story - I can SO relate! I almost panic every time something goes wrong with my "technological" stuff - I have no clue as to where to even begin looking to correct the problem!
Hope you have a better day today!!
xoxoxo
Oh, Michelle, I am sorry -- how frustrating! ((HUG)))
It is very hard for a person with stage 4 to watch them tell you how it has cured them, when you know that is not in your cards.
It doesn't allow you to relate.
Any questions you might have please ask.
Make sure you get the prescription for the nausea pills. I took kytril.
Love Renee xoxo

"Happy...sort of."
Close enough, perhaps.
Whew...sounds like a day and a half. I've been missing you. Of course, I'm the one who hasn't been around.
