Got the Billikens on my mind

This morning was a complete 360 from yesterday. I woke up at 7 pm, yesterday evening, I officially slept the entire day. I woke up yesterday in the morning at about 3 am and 7 am, to empty my stomach into a bucket. That wasn't so fun, but I immediately felt better and the nurses were ready and prepared for more anti-nausea meds. I would like to give a special shout out to a wonderful drug called Benadryl -- I attribute my day of sleep and relaxation to it, for it definitely helped me.


Today the doctors are extremely pleased with how well I am handling the chemo. I look better, feel better, and am in a better mood! They will be drawing blood later tonight to monitor the levels of Methotrexate in my system. They were also shocked and pleased to see how much I've been getting it out of my system. Actually...the going out is more than what going in...weird. My methotrexate levels have dropped from 10 to 3 already which is great! They are thinking I can get out of here tomorrow if my body keeps handling this all so well! 


I crutched around with some physical therapy today and learned some basic moves for strengthening my leg, within moderation. SO looking forward to the days where I take my first steps...new leg, potentially new knee, on the path to recovery.


The Saint Louis Billikens have landed in Atlantic City, NJ, for the Atlantic 10 tournament! The #2 seeded Bills take on #7 LaSalle Explorers. My teammates, the Saintsations, are all there supporting the team. Wish I could be with all of you...now go get that WIN! Live game stats are about as good as I can get to keep up with the scores. LET'S GO BILLS!


Hope your days are great as well. Much love to all, hopefully I'll be writing from home tomorrow! Can't wait to see all my friends from school: Ali, Greg, Johnny, Kaitlin, and Jackie potentially later tonight? SO excited everyone is home on spring break! 


Keep your heads up, much peace, hope, and love...they sure do make the world go round. I've been crafty with painting today...
