I am here at Dr. Chawla's to get chemo. I always get a tummy ache before I come here...the morning of, actually and this morning was no different. They are running about trying to find my blood work results....acting as though they don't have them. Geeze...they are freaking me out.
I had an excellent visit with my darling grandkids yesterday. Brooke is such a character, she couldn't stop talking. She told me about halloween, and about her best friend Makayla. She also told me all of her teacher's names...she apparently loves preschool. Alyza came and sat on my lap, she is getting so big! When I was leaving she was fixing her hair in the mirror...it was poofy, but it was actually beautiful...she's so silly...she's growing up! Maddy came out briefly to say hello and give me a hug. The littlest guy, Chason has quite a personality. He was trying to do somersaults in the living room, making me laugh by scooting around on his head. He was a little wary of me at first, but warmed up quickly. It was so nice to see them all.
I got to see Shannon's photography. If you guys haven't already checked it out, please do. If you need professional photo's taken, see Shannon. She has honed her talents and does spectacular work! She had a client last night....at the beach at sunset. I am itching to see the shots she took.
I spent Thanksgiving with my parents, and then went to my sister, Diane's daughter's house. Nicole and Carlos had made their first turkey dinner and it was delicious. My dad made the turkey at Mom and Dad's house. We had some luscious sweet potatoes...one type with pecan's and brown sugar topping the baked goodness and another dish of sweet potatoes with a marshmallow topping. Dad also made stuffing inside the bird, which is my favorite, and Nicole had stuffing outside the bird. All in all, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving.
So, I am getting my chemo...God, I hate this. I will be sick tonight because I don't have a patch for nausea. I forgot it at home, but it falls off within a day or two anyway.
Sorry for the long span between postings. My internet connection will be hooked up later this week, so I will be better at it, I promise.
Here comes the icky chemo... watch it as it slides down the tubing into my body. Something from a sea squirt...that's what Yondelis is. I saw a sea squirt on a discovery channel yesterday....they are NOT pretty animals...they are brown and ugly, but I guess they have a property that keeps my tumors from growing, so I do what I must.
I guess this is all for now. I hate this part.
