The new COVID test is not as bad as the last one I took. It was a little bit longer but it doesn’t stab your brain, so that seems like a decent trade off.
I talked to one of the oncology nurses on Tuesday and she was very helpful talking through a few things that they’ll also cover on Thursday because I didn’t have my chemo training ahead of chemo. One thing that didn’t happen was getting the prescriptions ahead of time. She called them in but the pharmacy must have been out of one or more because I got a message that they were reaching out to the doctor for an alternate.
I was supposed to get an antihistamine (I think is what it is), an anti-nausea drug and an anti-anxiety drug. I have none of them. They are giving me some (well some antihistamine and anti-nausea) with my chemo I believe so I’m sure we’ll get the situation worked out on Thursday.
I’m not feeling that anxious about the chemo so I’m sure I’ll survive without the anti-anxiety drugs for the interim. It takes so much energy to be worried about things out of your control. I do like to PLAN though so I spend that energy coming up with the 700 solutions to how I could potentially feel after chemo…now THAT is a good use of energy! 😁😁😁
