OK - Now We Are Getting Somewhere

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon

I've packed for tomorrow. I've got a camera, some thank you cards to start writing, cinnamon tic tacs (for the bad taste in my mouth!??), lots of water, my anti-swelling pills, some anti-nausea pills, a book, my homework, and a pen. I made sure the car is still starting (it wasn't this past weekend). I've been drinking water like crazy all day and had my last meal of garlic pizza - yum! I worked late so not much time for getting nervous this evening. We washed the pink shirt I'm wearing tomorrow. I'm always cold so I'm pretty sure I'll just wear jeans - maybe I'll change my mind in the morning. Do you think flip flops are too casual? We called Mom and sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY! The alarm is set for 6:30am so we can hit the road by 7:00am. The blood draw is planned for 8:30am then we will get some breakfast for an hour so the results can come back - then it's meet with the oncologist - then a quick chemo orientation and then we start. I have no idea what I am forgetting or for that matter what I am getting into. I hope I am brave enough to walk into the building and I hope I don't start crying. Well, it feels like the first day of school - I need to go get a good night's sleep. By this time tomorrow I'll be 25% finished with my chemo treatments. Heck - I can do anything three times and this will be only four times and that's just one more time than three. I can do this in a snap........if I can do the first one........good night
