Thanks Aunt Cathy

Aunt Cathy thank you so much for all you did for me this week. You caught on so fast doing the TPN and managing my drug schedule! Thanks also with the help with registering, it was a huge help, I will deffinalty be calling the the future for more advice. Thanks again, you are the best and i love you so very much! Today i am resting at my Mom's i have already had two bloody noses and am worried that i might have to go in for a blood transfustion. My has been taking care of me today and i just couldn't ask for more when i am sick. I had quite a lot of hair grow back but it is slowly falling out again! I feel ok today just a little sick, and sad to see my Aunt Cathy go! All my love

Aunt Cathy

Hi everyone sorry i haven't posted in a while i have had quite the cold and sore throat on top of the sore on i already have. I can't complain, my Aunt Cathy is here and we are all in Kent. Tim explained every thing to her and although i am sure all the info is overloading she is a natural and is great at everything!I am so lucky. Tim will be back tonight to make sure we get everything hooked up right and of course to see me because he would have missed me so much after 1 day!! We oredered the invitations for the wedding so hopefull we will get those out soon. Other than that not much is new! All my love

Another Day

Today is just another day, i am feeling much better and am working everyday on trying to eat more and more. It is a lot harder than i thought it would be. I have found something i love to eat....frosting, its way better than yogurt and goes great with milk! Tim thinks its so weird that i am just eating frosting but i love it! I obviously can't eat too much or i will get sick its not like i eat a lot of it anyway but i enjoy it,just a spoonful. Not much is new Tim is trying to balance everything work, me,the buildings. Luckily we have Deborah who has been a huge help with the buildings, but even with the two of them sometimes they just can't get enough done in day. I wish i could contribute more and i am starting to as i feel better. I can talk now so will answer the phone and make appts for Tim or do the dishes. I just can't wait until i feel good enough that i can make dinner, or clean the buildings or show units. do something to help. Someday for now i will lay in bed nauseous and take my meds and do what i can. my Aunt Kathy is coming out next week and i am so excited! I am even more excited that Sunday-Wed i should feel great until i get chemo on Wed, then we will see what happens. I Can't wait to see her and i hope i feel good enough that we get to do at least a couple of fun things! All my love

A Strawberry...a whole strawberry

So today i accomplished eating something for the first time since November. I ate a strawberry...and not just a bite but yes i ate the whole thing. Regardless of the awful pain that followed and the fact that i basically numbed my mouth with mouthwash for about an hour after, i did it! We are making progress...slow progress but i will take it. I am feeling so much better today not so nauseous hopefully tomorrow i can eat 2 strawberries! All my love

Sick

I haven't felt very well since Wednesday, i think i have recovered from the chemo but i have a awful cold and my throat is way more painful than usual. Deborah Tim's sister is very sick as well her tonsils are huge and i think she has a Dr's appointment today. Tim has a little cold but it doesn't seem to be like mine, i still have nausea and depending on what i am drinking or what meds i am taking keeping things down is hard to do. Its a balance and i can never quite figure out what exactly makes me sick. Today i am just going to rest and sleep and i think my Mom might come visit, i can't wait to see her! all my love

Home sick

My Dad took me to chemo yesterday. I felt fine until 3:00 in the morning when i got very nauseous. My Mom and Dad both sopped by to see me after dinner yesterday and it was great to visit with my Mom! Hoping i don't feel sick all day tomorrow. All my love

Home

I am home and it never felt so good! The room is amazing Tim painted, got the new bed, put up curtains and side tables and lamps. It is such a relaxing place to be now, and some days i spend most of my time in the bedroom so its nice to have such a comfy new space!I will try to post pictures when i can. I have PT today, yay! Tomorrow i have chemo and its back to both drugs, i am nervous to see how i feel. I am meeting with a neurologist they want to learn more about my seizures. My hair has started to grow back, and i have to say i am not a big fan but it is supposed to fall out again with all the chemo i have left so good thing i am not too attached. I am feeling good and excited to work at getting my body back into shape!
