I believe that WW (wild woman) had asked me to start to write down all that I consume yesterday but I forgot until 1:00 this morning...when the grazing began :) This should be interesting for both of us!
I had my CT scan, as you know last Friday and I think that it went quite well.
However, when they told me that they had to call for a chemo nurse to access my port, the scene from Jurassic Park flashed across my mind...the one where water in a glass starts to ripple because the dinosaur is coming...yes that one... I heard my self say "As long as it isn't nurse such and such" and laughed a little too loudly trying unsuccessfully to hide my Barney look! I sat on the edge of my seat until I saw 'YAYYY! Nurse Deanna!!!'
The young lady and man that did the scan were so sweet and kind. When I asked them what I would feel when the 'stuff' started to go into my veins she said that I may not feel anything but would probably feel like I was wetting my pants...Oh thank heavens that I went to the bathroom before I got into this! HOWEVER I REALLY DID FEEL like I was wetting my pants, absolutely leaving no doubt that the 'what ever' was going into me was working! I heard myself say...uh, I really feel like I am peeing myself! I kid you not, I felt it running down my behind ( I was on my back). The whole time am thinking, ' am I gonna be the first person that wets all over myself" Oh no please God, I did not bring any clean clothes. My buttocks even felt warm....let me just faint or something. What am I gonna say to the young man that helps me get up! OMG! Help me Lord, help me Jesus, hep me Lawd!
THEN, I was asked to flip over onto my stomach! What a picture going on in my over active mind!
It was over very quickly and I came out dry as I could be. Not a single urine spot anywhere but did we ever get a good laugh out of that one! Nurse Deanna could hardly contain herself because of some other silly comments that I had made to her and she felt vindicated when heard that I was certain I'd had an accident.
Mark had been in the waiting room visiting with some of the people that were waiting their turn and I tell you what people! I am a very blessed woman. My journey is minimal compared to some of the ladies waiting out there.
I had a very fatigue filled Sat. and I slept all day long. Then I slept all night as well, so my poor body is indeed trying to recoop. The Lord allowed me to rest and rest and rest.
I declare His works with rejoicing.

Oh, you crack me up! That must have been a really weird sensation!! Glad you rested well this weekend...take care, love, Patti
Prima We are Learning a lot from your experiences and I hope I can be as positive and brave as you when and if I ever go have to go through it. You are taking it with a good sense of humor and I admire you for it. Fina
I love you so much mom. I read your posts and can hardly contain the tears that come with reading your amazing words. I'm sure some of it is all these pregnancy hormones that make me cry if someone says something as simple as, "Good morning!" (ha!) but I know it is mainly because my heart swells with how proud I am of my mother.
You are so strong and stay so strong in the Lord through everything. I was listening to a pastor on the radio yesterday on my way from the airport. He said we need to "be thankful to God IN ALL THINGS." Not FOR all things (like cancer and anything else negative, because he did not give this to you), but IN all things.
There are always things to be thankful for, like thankful that at the end of the year, you will be better than ever and 2012 will hold so many amazing blessings. You are doing just that. So proud of you and I love you so very much.

When reading this I was laughing, thinking about my "diva" sister pissing her pants and then having to face those people! Its almost as bad as when you said I was farting in front of Jose Angel after my heart attack..I was so embarrassed until you told me you lied to me and I really didn't. Love you much
Ha! You and Raquel should have a radio show! I would cramp in my jaw from smiling! Yay for nurse Deanna! When Milner held my hand in the middle of the mall yesterday and started to pray for you I wish you could have felt the power of God at that moment. It was like the air was breathing and everything around us was blurry and all I could see was Milner. (Maybe it was the tears or the shock that a man who 5 mins earlier couldn't remember me was praying for you IN PUBLIC!) He was sneaky too, grabbed my hand so fast and started I didn't even get a chance to take my hat off or tell the Padillas what was happening.:) Total God thing Vivie. Love to you and Daddy Mark.
Good, Julie! Journal on!
