My first Rituxin Infusion

Well I had off work yesterday and received my first Rituxin
infusion... Ugh! I was there for six hours... My 12year old daughter gave me her favorite book to read, so I was able to get 1/2 way through it with an occasionally (oh boy, I'd better close my eyes) as the words started jumping around the page... All in all it was pretty acceptable I was occasionally dizzy and extremely exhausted but I did not have any additional pain or severe reactions (so that was good). Plus reading my daughters book will give us more to talk about for a couple of weeks, especially since the movie just came out, and she's suppose to go see it with a friend this weekend.... I'll wait for the video, as I hate crowds... (For those interested, the book is called, "Twilight"... So far its pretty interesting). I was suppose to go to work today, but quickly realized at 5:30 this morning that I wasn't about to move. I felt like a herd of elephants used my body as a football field. So I turned off my alarm and pulled the covers over my head. I finally woke back up at 8:30 and remembered I forgot/neglected to call out of work... So I handled that and then gimped my way to get a warm shower... Wow! how good that felt! I am still very tired, and a little sore, but nothing that isn't manageable. I plan to take it easy all day and tomorrow, and hopefully give the new medicine a chance to help before I try to move to much.... Fortunately, I do not need to cook for Thanksgiving as we will be going to my mother-in-laws.... I normally bake the pies, but this year I will be getting them from a local bakery... Hopefully they will be as good as mine... (I'm pretty picky...LOL) I have never been able to cook very well, but I've always enjoyed baking! I'm still working on baking as well as my 82 year old aunt, but I'm getting closer... Thanks for listening to me once again... Bonnie
