So much vomitting, so little time

No pictures, no videos, no motivation. I haven't had a chance to write, photograph, tape, or anything else lately as I've been vomiting too much while my head's had little painful trolls dancing on it. I even think I could throw up right now (too much info?...maybe). 

Enough negativity. It's been quite a six week (is that really how long it's been? seems much longer) venture. I went through 10-14 days (who knows? Not me; I know that much) of being stuck in a strange land full of foggy people and bad television. What brought me back was a new chemo schedule that was built on a platform of only once a day maintenance (rather than the wonderfully inconvenient plan of twice daily). Everything was fine (albeit in a wake-up-hit-by-a-truck kind of way). I'm going to pause here and let you know that, though I tried to end the negativity, there's still more coming. This was just until I got sick (or thought I was) a couple weeks ago and could not get over it. Now this happened before mind you. My immune system gets depleted from the chemo, and I can't do anything to heal. I've had a cat scratch on my ring finger for weeks. The infiltrating infection has just recently healed. Anyway to make a long story significantly shorter, I come to find that I'm not sick and that it's probably just side-effects from one of the drugs I'm on (probably the Celebrex, but could be the Claravis though), i.e., this won't go away on it's own...ever. That wasn't the best realization.

So I'm flying back up to Philly tomorrow. Have lots of band things to attend to, but I'll try to see everyone if I can get up the willpower. I'll be staying at Erin's place on the fringe of No. Libs, so I'll try to stop by down south later in the week.
