Last night they started pumpin' rituxan into me. This drug latches onto the CD-20 of a cell and messes with the cell processes until the cell actually dies. I imagine it be like a gorilla attacking a hot air balloon until it crashes.
I felt light-headed at first and then I started to get the chills and feel really fatigued. My muscles started aching and I thought I was going to get really sick. Thankfully I didn't. I tried to sleep through the night but the nurses had to check my vital signs every fifteen minutes for the first hour and every thirty minutes after that. The whole thing lasted about six hours. I slept pretty well considering all the distractions and I am feeling pretty chipper this morning.
