Day 48 - At third chemo

I am writing this on my cell phone, while this sitting in the chemo chair with the IV plugged in. This is my third chemo.

 My chemo was scheduled for 15:46, but they called and asked me to come at 12:30 instead. I arrived at the hospital at 11:30, with time for a cup of coffee.

I was very busy this morning.
 My new solar panel is wired up, and working. I also drove to the local electronics store and bought a digital amp meter. It also is working.
Then a call to the taxi service to give them the new times.
My current solar installation is a rat's nest of wires. What is needed is a box with the meters and the solar regulator on front. The wires and shunts should be out of sight, inside the box. Also needed is a switch to turn the led display off. Maybe a switch to be able to change the battery "out" amps into battery "in" amps when I want to.

I had a chat with the oncology lady before the chemo. She looked at the red spots on my arms, and says that is a typical reaction from the Paclitaxel. She said the Phenergan is supposed to stop that. But the Phenergan gave me nerve twitching. So today she prescribed me Celestamine. It is an antihistamine to stop allergic reactions. I have to take one pill the day before chemo, one the day of chemo, and one the day after chemo.
She also said that sleep disorders are common with chemo. She said I should try to sleep more the days before chemo, so I won't need as much sleep right after chemo. She prescribed some sleeping pills. Dormanoct.
She gave me a free jar of cream to rub on my arm rashes.

My friend is supposed to collect me after chemo, but he is working. So he is planning on collecting me only after 5. I may have a long wait in the restaurant.
I am getting sleepy. Later

I woke up and saw that my Paclitaxel dosage is now 165 mg instead of 135mg. I asked why and the oncologist said she talked with the surgeon, and they decided to maybe only do 9 chemo treatments before doing a cat scan and the operation instead of 12 treatments. So maybe I am a third through this round of chemo. It takes longer to infuse 165mg than 135mg.

I only finished chemo at 16:00. My friend will only collect me at 17:00. I have along wait. Maybe another cup of coffee.

My friend called, and is stuck at work. I called a taxi.

I'm at home now. The taxi came at 18:10, and I was home by 18:30. Long day. Now for a pre-made fruit salad, and bed.
