Adieu

Adieu is a French word meaning goodbye or farewell. However, unlike Au revoir, À bientôt, or Salut, the exclamation is typically used when you know that you won’t be seeing someone for a long time.

Appropriately, I say “Adieu” to a small little pack of white and green pills today. I am hoping that I do not see them for a long, long, long, time!! (preferably never)

Since I took my last BCP today, I now have just the Lupron injections until I get the go ahead to start the stimulating meds next Saturday. So far the shots have not been too tough. The needles I have to use for the Lupron are pretty small in guage and length and therefore don’t hurt much. The side effects I am starting to feel are far more annoying than the shots themselves. A dull headache is a pretty constant companion and I have been feeling the slight edge of added irritability for the last day or so. (To those of you I see regularly, I apologize…don’t say I didn’t warn you!!)
