Day Five and the medicine is ALIVE

Today is the first day that I get a full dose of the medicine. Good news is lab results are all looking good...bad news is one of the side effects showed up today. I woke up with a few bumps on my arm and by the time I had walked up to the hospital I had a full blown rash on my arms and chest. It is supposed to be gone by the time I get home. It is itchy, but the benadryl helps with that.

I got my IV dressing changed and the male nurse was funny. It stung a little bit. He was trying to talk to me during the change, and he was funny..he asked me if I had a crush on anyone in my class....and then he asked me if I liked high school musical. He was nice...but I don't think he had kids at home!

My dad is coming today, I am exciting about that. Hope everyone has a good weekend. I still have nine more days! Thank you everyone for keeping in touch!

Here is a picture of my rash...hope it grosses you out! :)
