Round 5 is in the books!

Hi Everyone -

Quick update as I have to pack for Norway!!!

Round 5 went well.  It was on par with round 3 - yay!  I started on Tuesday, did fine.  I wore my cool shirt that students got for me:



Went Wednesday, still fine.  Thursday morning I woke up really nauseous.  I threw up once at home, and once at the check-in desk at Huntsman.  I felt really bad, there was a girl there - probably a bit younger than me.  It was her first time to infusion.  She was clearly upset and nervous and then I show up and start puking right in front of her.  She started crying!  Sorry for the rough introduction lady!  After I was all done I went and found her and told her it wasn't so bad.  I don't think she believed me though.

I did find the trick to getting a private infusion room though.  Puke at check-in and they send you to your own room! ha ha


On Thursday they gave me the long lasting stuff again.  It worked.  I have to just sleep for about 48 hours straight and then I can return to the world of the living and function again.



I'm about through the achy's this round too.  This time it was knuckles and knees that killed.  But, I think I can handle walking around Norway so its all good!

I ONLY HAVE ONE ROUND LEFT!!!!  Yay!  It will be the end of February.  Then I get my dumb port out too.  I can't stand that thing.  Woo hoo!

I'll post pics of Norway on Instagram.  Find me if you haven't yet:  alayna_williamson
Someone told me that if you put more than one picture per day on instagram then it is called insta-vomit.  Oh well...I'm good at puking lately, so be prepared for me to insta-vomit Norway all over the place!

Loves to all - rock on!
