Day 113

It's cold in NJ. I always thought that people on chemo who lost their hair were wearing hats because they didn't want anyone to know they were suddenly without fur. I'm wearing a hat because my old chrome dome is cold.
I had 7 hours worth of chemo today, long infusion of three drugs, antinausea drugs, and hydration. Joanie went to the drugstore afterwards and filled several precriptions I'll need over the next week. The mega infusion of chemo allows us to have no appointments until next Wednesday except for one major goof up at the hospital that has to be remedied on Monday.
The catheter that was installed yesterday was the wrong catheter and is no good for the transplant procedure. So on Monday I'm back in to see the surgeon to screw in the correct catheter. If that can't be done, she'll have to do a new procedure and install a new catheter on my left side. Ugh. Thank goodness for the nurse in the infusion center spotting that it was the wrong catheter as soon as she saw it.
