I'm so glad you got her a BUNNY!
I got MYSELF a little pet bunny last spring and she has been such a sweet gentle little fuzzy ball of comfort to me throughout my treatments. What a wonderful Christmas surprise! If you need any 'bunny parenting' tips, please ask me! I've had rabbits as pets since my own boys were toddlers.

Quality of life is so important in treatment decisions. I was in yesterday to get my daily Neupogen shot and the staff said over HALF of the chemo patients were given the option of taking a mini-vacation from treatment for Christmas and most had taken advantage of it. I hope it was a wonderful day for you, your family, and for all the lovely teal warriors here!

I'm back.....
Oh boy eh? What a way to start the New Year, well they finally let me loose last Monday, what a relief! I took myself on a shopping spree that day and spent my rent money...lol lol...I did...shhhhh....I wanted to buy myself some nice cloths, I think it was all the meds that was sailing through my body and I temporarly lost my marbles, that's what I'll tell them in small claims court.

Seriously now, I still wear these horrible bags and let me tell you they are a pain in the ****. They smell, which is very upsetting to me because I am very sensetive to smell and I so enjoy wearing my fragrances, I never in million years think I would be adding eau de urine to my collection. I'll call it Coco P. But apparently there is some sort of a coal thing that they'll put in place to obsorb the odor, I have homecare coming in on Friday so they'll be able to help me out. Meanwhile I've had to manage these damn things on my own with just trail and error and just figuring things out on my own. I just pray that these kidneys will mend and they'll take the bags out and more importantly I can continue with my treatment. But enough 'bout me, let's talk Meghan. OMG that darn bunny wabbit, Linda, this little guy is so adorable I'm not sure who santa brought it to. He is so cuddly and sweet and he always gives me kisses with his tiny little tongue, he runs around my feet and begs for me to pick him up. I was so alergic to rabbits until Hoto and Meghan's face Christmas morning! She spent the night with me Xmas eve and we went home together I had my friend hide him in the bathtub and I made my girl suffer through most of her presents before putting her out of her misery.

The thing that got me is that although she didn't see a bunny she didn't show one ounce of disappointment on her face at all, which kind of broke my heart. After she unwrapped most of her presents with still some to go, I kept asking her if she had to go to the washroom, she insisted no, but I insisted that she go and when she was standing there trying to figure out what the heck that sound coming from the shower was I yanked back the shower curtains and Girls, you should have seen the look on her face. She put her hands to her face and she almost cried.

Now having told you all this, I'm wondering, I didn't tell you this story already did I? LOL...them there drugs are a wonderful thing. Well I don't know how I managed but I did manage to pull it off for my girl, with help of a wonderful friend/neighbor who wrapped all my gifts and picked up Hoto, without her I would have been paniced. Yes Linda I will be asking you adive, like how to get them to stop leaving treats all over de place. Or is that unpreventable? Friday night I had to be rushed to the hospital with my usual bowel obstruction and that pain is really enought to make you want to end it right there and then. So another night in the hospital, they wanted to keep me an extra day but I opted to signing myself out, I know my body and this ain't my first rodeo here, so I knew I was good to go. Well that's about it for now, it's enough eh? And you know I'm gonna thank all of you again for hanging with me and keeping my spirits up. Love all you guys tons.

Linda
