Wednesday night. Hummm, this place looks familiar. Oh yea, it's the cancer center. I was just here yesterday, and several times the week before.
So, tonight, I get a shot in my arm. Remember, for the white blood cell count. Here we go.....I go through my usual nervous breathing routine before the needle can even meet my arm............ whew whew whew, whew whew whew, whew whew whew, whew whew whew. Still not ready. whew whew whew, whew whew whew, whew whew whew. Ok Ok Ok, I'm ready. No No No, not yet. whew whew whew, whew whew whew......(.this goes on for far too long, but I can't help i)t..........Ok, ready. I crumple my body in an almost fetal position and hold my arm out so the nurse can spray and the shot the back of it. Contact made..... ouch, I feel it going in. Ewwwwwww. whew whew whew, whew w.....She's done..... This isn't a really quick shot. It's cold and I can feel the medicine going in, and she slowly pushes the plunger down. Elllk, yuk. Its, done, and home we go.
So, remember, the side effect of this drug is bone pain. Wish me luck. I'll let you know how I felt after receiving that shot.
