Yesterday was the start of the second round of chemo. It took two pokes to get in a vein. Ouch. It was also a bit painful going in, as the vein was in my hand.
I have a superficial blood clot on my leg. So, the doctor wanted me to have an ultrasound to ensure that there were no deep clots. I had been watching my leg carefully after the trip to Vegas. Having pancreatic cancer as well as my previous DVT/PE experience makes me a bit more likely to get a blood clot. Fortunately, this is just an isolated surface clot. Hot compresses will help it to dissolve.
We didn't get home until after 3 pm yesterday. I was so tired. I went straight to bed and slept for 2.5 hours. Didn't have bad chills, but had the headache again. I slept for about 12 hours last night and at least the headache is gone this morning. I wasn't up to going to work.
The wedding countdown begins. My mother is coming in today. My father comes in next Wednesday. Other friends and relatives wil be in for the long weekend. There are things to do, but I'm also hoping to take it easy earlier in the week to save my energy.

Just Travelling Down Abby's Road
My final journey in this life is just beginning. I've shared a previous journey a couple of years ago and found blogging to be therapeutic and a way to share with others. Some may find this macabre and others may find it helpful in their own dealings. We are all on a final journey to somewhere.

Glad to hear you're back at work, my friend. Good job. I woke up thinking about you realizing I haven't talked to you or read your blog in a long time. Thanks for keeping everyone posted. I know you are extremely busy getting everything together. Even with help, it can be daunting.
I've read a few of your recent posts and, yes, I do think you are special. Truly one of a kind, my dear! ;) And, yes, it's too bad we don't treat each other with the same kindness and appreciation as when we find out they may not be with us for much longer. Unfortunately, the Golden Rule is too often forgotten.
Talk to you soon, chick.
Phyllis
