Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Our home was filled with love and laughter. Certainly one of the best Christmas' I've had in a long time! Len and the boys made all of our Christmas very special. It was sad to see them go, as a house filled with young boys laughter is definitely a house of love!
Len was here with me today to see the Chemo dr. Amazingly enough, the dr. apologized to me for the last visit we had with him. I was kinda in shock. He said he didn't mean to upset me with all the news and he was sorry, just something they need to do with their patients and reminded me that it was just a statistic and didn't necessarily mean anything suggesting I would be one of the 62% that didn't make it!
I didn't get any different news, which I feel is good news. However, I got about 5 prescriptions and more to come. A few nausea meds (including the 'Hummer' of them all, you that know me know what that means...LOL) and some antibiotics. Plus numbing cream for my new port. As for my port I was only expecting two incisions from the surgeon, but after the chemo dr took off the bandages it seems I have 4. I don't think the dr today, nor his nurse were impressed, but they did say everything was fine. I did have a scare this morning, as my left hand was clearly swollen...seems the bandages were binding me and not allowing the blood circulation. It's gone down quite a bit since the dr took off the bandages!
I'm kinda overwhelmed by all I have to remember or should I say my 'care givers' need to remember. I just hope god takes as good of care of me as he does them! They are my so called life line right now and I don't know what I would do without them! I'm really lucky I have such a wonderful and caring family, that means the world to me! I just hope one day I can repay them for the awesome care they are giving me.
Thank you to all my friends that have left a message in the guest book and I will call and visit with you when I have time.
Much love and respect,
Jackie
