Oh My Nose

I am sick.  I don't know if I caught a cold somehow, or if I've got the beginnings of a sinus infection, but I can't breathe through my nose and my throat is sore from post nasal drip.  Of course, not being able to breathe through my nose means I can't use my CPAP when I sleep, nor my O2.  I hate having blocked sinuses.  I don't have a fever though, so that's a good sign.


We had a virtual ticket to BlizzCon for this weekend.  Watching was a double-edged sword.  There was so much information about what's coming in the future, including Diablo III, and the new World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria.  I'm happily anticipating being able to play both, and yet I have to wonder if I will still be able to play by the time they go into production.  I'm thinking that if this current chemo regimen continues to have good results, then I should be able to partake of both DIII and the new WoW expansion.


Back to the "I am sick" part; I'm hitting my hookah even as I type.  This whatever has already started to impact my lungs.  But I will keep an eye on it and call my pulmo if things take a bad turn.  I do have Levaquin and Prednisone here on hand if I need it.  Hate them both, though.


On a happy note, I have decided to get my sisters Kindle Fires for Winter Solstice.  No worries about spilling the beans as they already know what they are getting.  At least Jane and Nancy, that is.  Cathy is getting completely different stuff, and Wendy and Dean; well the jury is still out on them. :)


Now, I think I'm going to play a little bit of World of Warcraft, then get to bed early.  I'm feeling so puny and weak.  It IS chemo week, so that's not surprising.


Love, hugs and kisses to all!

And a New Week Begins...

...thus, tomorrow, I have to go have vials of blood siphoned from my poor arm.  I guess I had better start drinking lots of water as soon as I get up.  It helps the blood flow, you know. ;)


Tuesday is chemo infusion day with the Camptosar, and then the Xeloda tablets start Tuesday afternoon.  This is round four for this iteration of chemotherapy.  But I had a great weekend.  We ran World of Warcraft dungeons out the wazoo today, and two of my sisters got a cool dragon mount.  If I had gotten one, I'd have taken a picture so I could show you.  Maybe next weekend.  But I do love having an all-sister dungeon party. :)

Actually, the dragon they got today looks a bit like the one I am riding above.  Well, my Tauren Druid is riding it.  I'd be too scared, myself. :D  This one is an Albino Drake, and they got a Bronze Drake.


I've been tired, so I've been reading a lot because that just taxes my eyes and not the rest of me.  I do love to read.  Plus it makes me forget how much I dread my chemo week ON. :P  Oh well, as my dentist and I talked about, as long as I still have fun, and have good days, I'm happy.  But you know, in the back of my mind, no matter how much I try to keep it out of there, I still know another scan is coming and I'm running out of options.  Ugh, I hate those scans... well, not the scans themselves, but the waiting for the results.  I could surely use some good results for a change. :)


Alrighty, I'm off to bed.  Don't worry about me, I still have tons of red in my health bar; not ready to head out of this world just yet. I'm still hanging in, hoping against hope that I get an invite to the Diablo III beta.  Come on, Blizzard, make my day!
