Re: Re: JAY/disconnecting technician!!!

You poor guy! No fun and it's like being trapped when you are up in the wild

blue yonder but hey you tried. What kind of LOA or disability plans does the

airline have? Is there some kind of part-time arrangement you could do on

your off weeks?

I'm praying for blue skies and better days ahead.

Jay, your comment about the smells make me laugh. I know just what

you mean.

Not that I've ever smelled 5-FU, but I am familiar with other smells

from sicknesses and the hospital that just put me into a place that

I never want to be in again.

Hang in there, the miracles will happen if you look!

have found that no one has ever attempted to fly while on chemo.

And so, I am going to start petitioning some agency's to see if they

can help me financially while I fight the effects of chemo.

I have exhausted all of my sick pay, and so I am petitioning some organizations

to see if I can at least warrant not working for a few months until I get this

chemo out of my system. I have lost 10 pounds already, because nothing taste

right. And it hurts my jaws to even eat. I am trying so hard to drink water,

but even that hurts. I am tired, but cannot sleep. I tried Ativan last night,

and it only made me stoned. Ended up reading the book of Luke last night...

offered some peace, but my mind was still wide awake.

I will go try the lime... wish it was with a margarita though! ;-)

Talking about smells. Must be something to it as our head Onc nurse

wears a gas mask now, to prevent her from inhaling fumes of the drugs.

She also wears heavy duty gloves and very careful... She has had

diarrhea too many times and was tired of it, said she lost some of her

hair once already.. So our nurse know what we are going through getting

chemo... Cheers Jolene
