Forgetfulness
Sunday, 30 April 2006 12:50 P GMT-06
One of the side effects of chemo on your system is forgetfulness and although I persistantly deny it's effect on me Dennis truly notices when we're watching tv. We'll watch a show he insists we've seen and I'll argue that we never have. O

I have only been on the computer about 15 minutes in the last few days so I need to catch up but I have just been enjoying life, the last few days. You know the being alive part, tv, sewing, the yard, etc and trying to work up more strength.&nb

I regularly get mail regarding my cancer, bills and insurance EOBs. In fact, just a couple of days ago I got a questionaire from insurance about my hospital visit in January asking if the accident happened at work. Trying to find out if a

I planted a few more plants today but wore out so dang easily. It's so frsutrating to want to do stuff and not be able to. I went out twice to try to work but didn't last long and left me tearful. The tulips are blooming and look so
Horrifying

Maybe that's a little extreme but that the first word that popped into mind today when my grandma asked how soon after chemo completion they'd take my port out. I explained to her how it will be left in for a couple of years in case of recurren
The waiting is the hardest part

Dennis had to go out of town all this week and with the kids in school I've had much time alone. Quite unusual since my diagnosis. Of course the predominant thing in my mind the last two days has been the results from the PET scan.
Chemo 9 postponed
Saturday, 22 April 2006 12:57 P GMT-06
I had my bloodwork and PET/CT scan yesterday and while we took a CT with the oncologost and it looks ok he will look at the PET and call me the first part of next week. While waiting for the PET and during the PET I decided I definitely did not
Still here, kicking and screaming

It's been a quiet week for me. Just haven't felt like communicating much. Phone conversations have been kept short and my husband's ears are getting a break. :) But I have chemo tomorrow so felt I should drop a line to let eve
Just another day

While I try not to think about it, it seems it comes up daily. Cancer. Everywhere. Often on tv shows and movies and then I check in on a cancer support group and it seems so many people are having recurrences. :( I really don’t want to think ab
One year ago today
Monday, 17 April 2006 12:43 A GMT-06
It seems like a lifetime ago yet, last year on this day we were only 9 days into our house building project and only on the first level. The last few nice days have made us think of those long days put into building the house and how we need to
HAPPY EASTER

Yesterday Mikal and Khris helped me build this small flower bed. It was a lot of work! I saved half our bulbs for the corner of the other garage. But here we have tulips, hyacinths, gladiolas, and cannas.
How the garage sat from
I hate socks!
Saturday, 15 April 2006 8:25 P GMT-06
Every year for Christmas I want the same thing - socks. The crazy critters are always disappearing and I get so sick of hunting for matching ones. I have tried throwing them all away and buying only one color in one one style but who want
Frogs, bats and wonderful acres
Friday, 14 April 2006 11:02 P GMT-06
The last few evenings it has been warm enough that we have had our window open and we have been hearing the frogs happy noises. There sure are a lot of them out here. Since we were just building the house this time last year and not yet l
Feeling better
Wednesday, 12 April 2006 6:58 P GMT-06
I must be feeling better today because I am starting my mental list of things I need to accomplish. I have been managing to drink water while sucking on an orange tictac or pez. Something mild. The liquid should help. I actual

Dennis dug me out of bed and took me to work with him. I think he was afraid I wouldn't eat or move while he was gone and he might have been right. My back is still hurting, I was hoping it would go away overnight but it didn't. So

The lovely crappy taste is back, I can't remember how long it lasts but it makes all drinks and foods taste horrible. The food, no matter what it is ends up tasting like cornmeal for lack of better word. Grainy. Icky. I hope i

Although right now I feel like absolute crap one more is out of the way. Yea!! The oncologist has scheduled a PET scan for the next chemo to check on things, April 21st. So hopefully all will go well with that. I've been havin

I received my first copy of Cure Magazine today. It's a free magazine to cancer patients, survivors and caregivers and I had signed up back in November. It was kinda funny that one of the first articles in this issue is titled Being Posit

It has always been easier for me to share my thoughts and feelings on paper than it has been to share them in person. I think this is partly because it enables me to compose my thoughts without interruption and I can hit the delete button and rewrite

Bryan and Kari stopped by last night before Bryan left back for Missouri. He proposed a few days ago, so Kari is now our future daughter-in-law. I think they make a good couple and I've always liked Kari. She and A

Now that's a lazy lhasa!
When I switched oncologists 3 treatments ago there was a flyer in the waiting room advertising a Angel Care Retreat for Cancer Caregivers sponsored by Angel On My Shoulder. We brought the flyer home intending to sign up if i
