I Am On Medication
Well I got my Neulasta injection today at 315 pm. I’m waiting for the bone pain to start but nothing too much yet. I’m starting to feel some pain in my lower back but that’s it.
I asked the pharmacist if I could transfer my medication over to my pharmacy as this one is at the hospital. I had to apply for a program to get it covered until my insurance decided to get it together and approve it. She said yes. I also asked her if it was easy to inject and she said yes. She asked me if I wanted her to show me. She said the best place would be in my thigh, in the fatty tissue. I got it twice in my arm but I can’t inject myself there. So she asked me if I was ok with just pulling down my pants and having her inject me, as she explained how to do it.
Uhhh ok
There it is
I’m starting to feel it in my legs. My thighs, calves. It’s begun. So that was about 3 hours and a half.
Back to my experience - she said “I’m a mom, I’ve seen everything”, I said “yeah me too”, so I dropped them and sat down and off we went. She was nice. It was a little weird. I find that people are nicer to me when I wear a wig - I have two nice ones - they do make me more attractive. She told me it was a pleasure to meet me. Hmmmm.
Kinda sad that we don’t like natural hair as much as wigs, being more cognizant to celebrities and seeing and realizing that they’re wearing wigs, I’m considering just continuing on with shaving my head (lost my hair after first chemo treatment), and wearing wigs. I spent as much money on getting it done every 3-4 months as I am now with wigs. And my showers are shorter, and I’m not spending time blow drying and straightening or curling it. My wigs look good all the time too. Not much styling to do there.
Something to think about. I do like having a bald head. Didn’t feel that way the day I got it shaved, I cried and cried. And it ended up so sensitive - I had long hair. Now I want to sit in the sun (if we ever get any) and tan my head.
