1st Lupron shot

So much for blogging every day! Life caught up to me and I have been missing for a week. I was totally into it and ready. The first night I missed, I was just exhausted and decided that I would catch up the next day. Well, because we live in the boonies, our internet works when it wants to, so the next 2 days we were not able to get online. I almost had a heart attack. I didnt know what to do. No facebook, no Cafe World, no YoVille. I do not know how I survived!

I survived my 1st week of nursing school. I know it is going to be tough, but all of the instructors are incredibly nice and they seem as if they are willing to help you succeed in any way that they can. So, that is very nice. We have our first check offs on Tuesday, the vital signs. So tomorrow I will be practicing with my lab partner.

I got my 1st lupron shot yesterday. I was really scared and MEGA intimidated by the needle. That thing was freakin huge! But luckily it was just for looks and only a smidgen of it wound up in my hip!

The shot made me kinda light headed and I started to get a migraine, but luckily it quit before it could progress.

Did you know that each Lupron shot costs $1500??? Thank goodness for insurance, I only have to pay $10. I will be taking Lupron for 6 months.

Today has been a wonderful day. This is the first relatively pain free day I have had in months and months! I started to feel some pain towards the end of the evening. But thats ok, because normally I feel it from the moment I wake up.

I am really excited about this treatment. I am hoping that today is an example of days to come and not just a tease. Today I had energy, I felt like dancing, I actually cleaned my house! If only there are more days like today to come!
