One of the ladies that I run across in the dressing room said that she likes to go by weeks not by the number of treatments because they don't seem so overwhelming...I thought I'd do that today because I did not blog on # 4 or #5. The only thing that I can say is different is that I feel stuffy on the right side of my head. Sort of like I am swimming under water. That may be a start of a cold or maybe one of my drugs has that side effect.
Summer, Dominic and Autumn were here on Thur. and we had a great time. Whitney, Julianna & Logan joined us outside and it was wonderful to see all my grandchildren running in every direction in the yard. Sort of like little chicks :) My heart felt full of gratitude and wonder at the goodness of God. To watch my daughters with their children all having a good time (with a few tears mixed in there from Dominic). Life truly does go on. I hope that they will remember the memories that were made in this yard. Quite a comedy act when the kids all hit a wall and the fun is over!!! Kids need a nap and moms are ready for them to do just that!
Just as quickly as all of the activity started and all of the laughter and noise began, it was over...What a great feeling to have my family so close that we can all meet in a matter of an hour or so. I am truly blessed...I know I keep saying that but it really is true.
This Friday I had lunch with my dear friend Vickie from Lewistown. We had a great laugh fest over too much food and then we had a little crying jag over life and what survivors we both are. We patted each other on the back about how wonderful we are! HA! DANG! We are awesome!!!
Tomorrow is my appointment with the radiologist oncologist and am guessing that he will tell me what all the x-rays told him before they started radiation. I will keep you all posted.
Love you all and thank you for all of your prayers that have carried me through.
