The word is lethargic Jinni is just out of sorts.  Like she has been poisoned, which of course is exactly what is going on at the Cancer Center every other Thursday. She's not throwing up, but feels like doing so.  She doesn't have a headache, but feels like one is coming right around the bend.  She is tired, but gets plenty of sleep.  She just feels... poisoned.  Drained. Her first of the three Taxol infusions was last Thursday.  The whole thing took six hours even though we had been told four could be expected.  She slept through the biggest part of the "drip" session.  Clear Taxol doesn't look as frightening as the blood red Epirubicin (aka The Red Devil, as we found out after she was through with it).  Also, Taxol is not supposed be as harsh as the Epi, but still... it has knocked her for a loop.  But she's bouncing back. She went to work Monday and yesterday and today.  Tomorrow, after school, we are headed for skiing, or what passes for skiing, up near Boone, but I don't expect her to get on a lift.  Hopefully she will just take it easy and let me deal with the passel of teenagers we will have in tow. The N&R just called and is sending a photographer over tonight for an updated photo for the next installment of Jinni's Journal.  I'm not sure when it will run, but will keep you posted. 3:27:00 PM     comments to the above post so far, join in.
