Started Treatments

Today I started chemo therapy at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary. I had to be here at 7:30 this morning to put in what is called a PICC line which they use to give me the chemo intervenusly. Basically the PICC line is a IV line that goes from a vein in my arm all the away inside the same vein to a vein close to my heart. Not to worry it does not hurt or anything, but was little scary when they were explaining it to me. They then had to do a chest x-ray to make sure everything was properly in place and then started me on the chemo. So far the boredom has not been too bad yet, but am thinking that by tomorrow evening I will be itching to get out of here. Thankfully they have a couple of computers connected to the Internet that patients can use, which is how I am posting this blog. Well that is all that I know for now. Will post if anything new comes about.

Hey baby,
Hope your still doing good. The girls are missing you and so am I. To everyone out there I have went to see him but not the girls I think the IV might scare Taylor. Way over tired I can't wait to go back home and get the girls on a regular schedule and sleep next to my hubby.
Love Nikki
