Feeling good!

I am having a good day! I have not had one ache or pain at all. I was in such a funk for the last few weeks and I started to snap out of it on Friday. I feel a little tired but that’s it. Yay!! I even went out to dinner with Pam, Mike and Jeffrey . Saturday I went to the show with Sue and Brad and then we went to the grocery store. On the way home from the show Brad my sisters son said, “mom remember when I thought Hooters was a donut shop because of the 2 big owl O’s in the word Hooters.” I laughed so hard! I think everyone has seen the Hooters sign somewhere. I think we all gawk when we go by...lol

I am really losing my eyelashes and eyebrows now and it looks so weird. If I put on eyeliner you can’t tell unless you look really close but it does make me look like a cancer patient. My hair is starting to grow! It is getting all fuzzy on the top like a chick. Jeff called me a chia pet last night. lol

I am just happy to be in a good mood! But…..Monday I get another treatment. It is number 6 so only 2 more after that. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I just wonder if this treament is going to hit me as hard as the last. I really hope not.

The Genetic Lab called and the blood sample they took didn’t have any white cells in it so they have to draw more blood for my tests when I go in for chemo on Monday. I still don’t know how I feel about this Gene test they are doing. But I am doing it just to see what’s going on in this body of mine. What I will do with the information, I still have no idea.

I have been so bored!

These are the things that I have been doing that make me know that I am bored out of my mind….

1. I watched America’s Next Top Model Marathon on VH1 for about 4 days straight.

2. I am watching a Africam online. This is a camera in Africa that shows a watering hole and wild animals that visit it. So far I have seen 2 elephants, some giraffes, a few birds and 2 ducks. I spotted a blur of what I think might have been a tiger but I’m not sure. (I might have missed a few animals while I turned my head to watch America’s Next Top Model)

3. I have redecorated my living room in my head about 100 times.

4. I have looked in the refrigerator and freezer about 1,000 times.

5. I have balanced my checkbook to the penny.

6. I cleaned out my purse and found a receipt from Walgreen dated for June.

7. I have been through all my “favorites” online, and deleted the ones that are not my favorite anymore.

8. I cleaned out the silverware drawer!!. You know your bored when you do that.

9. I have stopped and looked in the mirror 100 times to look at the eyebrow and eyelash dilemma.

10. I have counted the hairs on my head that are starting to grow and even thought about measuring one that I think might be an inch long.

The funny thing is, I have done all this…and my little Christmas tree is still up! Too funny!

I just spotted a herd of something deer? Gazelles? And a monkey! I’m going back to watch the Africam. Here’s the link if your as bored as I am…http://www.wavelit.com/index.asp?ch=Wildlife&sh=africam

Trish... BIG BIG hugs for you!!  You are so awesome!  Not only are you feeling better, which makes me want to jump for joy (literally), but you are being fun and silly, and I love it!  This entry was the best one I've read all day because I could feel your positive, happy vibes traveling straight through my computer screen!  I pray that your next chemo is good for you, and you know what?  With as beautiful a face as you have, who needs eyebrows or eyelashes??  We should all be so lucky! :)

You keep up that awesome attitude, girl!  You are right around the corner from being done with all this!!  

Now.. I'm going to check out that link you left!

Big hugs and lots of love

Okay, it's later tonight, after we IM'd and the boys were put to bed, and I saw the duck.  It stood, then sat, then pooped and then tucked his head under for a nap.  LOL!  You are too funny.  It's good to hear you are feeling good.  oh!  now it's two ducks and they are squawking.  It's good imagery for you while you are getting your chemo tomorrow.  :-)  I hope this round isn't so rough on you.  Take care.  The light is definitely at the end of the tunnel!!

Here we go again

And  here we go again. Really? Really?!!! My biggest fear has come true. After eleven years of looking over my shoulder this stupid cancer has come back. I'm more pissed off than scared. Every year I was cancer free, I would announce to anyone that would listen, "it's been five years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, it's been ten years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer" I just reached eleven years in August of 2017 and said with pride, "it's been eleven years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer" This sucks! I am devastated. I just don't want to go through this again. I know what I'm in for......

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe I haven't been on my blog in so long. The days go by so fast and I have been so busy. So much has gone I on don't even know where to start. My mom had a second surgery on her knee. She is doing ok but has been in a lot of pain. She has therapy and the guy has been bending it 100%. I know she is just really bored with being stuck in the house. She is starting to get out more a little here and there though. My computer crashed and I lost all my pictures!! I was a little upset but I'm over it now. Most of them were my vacations pictures. I saved a lot of the pictures of the baby and my kids stuff but I never got around to saving my folder and then CRASH!!! Oh well, life goes on..It's weird how you change after something like cancer...when things like my computer crashing happens it just doesn't feel like the end of the world anymore. lol Megan went on Spring Break to Florida and I was a nervous wreck! I tracked her plane all the way there. I called

Mom's surgery.

My mom had her surgery today and everything went good. They said that they will be getting her up tomorrow to move around a little. I couldn't be at the hospital today because last night around 9:00 my stomach started feeling weird. By 11:00 I had a full blown stomach virus. I was so sick and all I could think about was my mom's surgery and how I had to be there. Megan took great care of me, but I was so bad that I almost passed out. I was up every half hour until about 7:00 this morning running to the bathroom. It was not good. I finally remembered that I had some compazine left from when I was having chemotherapy. It helps with the upset stomach. I took that and went to bed all day. I am still feeling crappy but mostly tired. I am just happy that my mom's surgery went good. I talked to her on the phone and she sounded good. I am off to bed so I can rest up and see her tomorrow. My head is still really fuzzy.
