The 1/2 last toast from the legend herself:

Valhalla really really reeked of beer, but Jennell seems happy

The other angels are tired of me saying β€œfight for the other users” while throwing my halo around

Due to chemotherapy, my blood platelets are way down which means I have to have oxygen to breathe, I’m immunocompromised and almost totally helpless until my blood platelets come back up. This really sucks.

I had a really nice long conversation with my oncologist. After a review of all my medications for pain relief, it was not effective. So a new prescription regimen was devised and I’ve been on the new medication for 6 hours and I feel calm and mostly pain free. I’m hoping

With each drop of drugs going into my system from the chemotherapy, cancer cells die screaming…

I had chemotherapy October 16th. It took until now before my hair started falling out in major clumps. I should be bald in less than a week

Pain is hovering at 6 out of 10. It’s so hard to just exist right now

Pain level started at 7. Dropping to 3 by end of day. Please, I’d like days of 2 or less pain

Home sweet home. I’m on home oxygen. And once again my back pain has returned with a vengeance. At the hospital, I was on so great painkillers that made me almost forget how much pain I’m in. Thursday, at 8:45am, I go in for chemo. Let’s hope this is the start of my recovery.

I was supposed to go home from the hospital today after getting my chemo port Friday. Sadly, when I sleep my blood oxygen drops too low so I’m looking getting sent home with oxygen tomorrow
