Exaspirated - tired of being aspirated

Sun July 12
This past week I invented a new word - Exaspirated. I am exasperated by all these aspirations!

Oy, my lymph hasn't figured out where to go yet since a number of nodes have disappeared and this poor, confused lymph collects in a pool under my arm. I got aspirated twice last week and am due for another one tomorrow. We are talking 70cc's and 85 cc's respectively. In my calibration world that is somewhere around a tenth of a bottle of wine sitting in my armpit.

I had a talk with my lymph today and gently told it that I understand that it is lost and I'm sure that it feels confused and sad but that it will feel better once it finds a new way back into the collective lymph system with all the other lymph. I'll feel better too!

Except for the aspirations, not a big medical week. I worked almost an entire week in the office last week and it felt great - I often forget completely that I am sick when I am in the office. And that is a GOOD thing.

Ran lots of errands this week including looking for a new refrigerator - turns out the one that has all the features I want is out of stock everywhere I look. Silver lining is that a new crop of refrigerators is coming out in Aug, many with the features I want. So soon I should be able to get a new full sized refrigerator! ( Those of you who have been to my house might remember that I have an "apartment' sized fridge and now I really need to upgrade)

Gearing up to start chemo on the 15th.
