I am still here..

I have been lurking the last few months..

I guess I am trying to get on with life and not stay strapped to my computer.

I think of you all often and wish you all the best.. and when I have something to share I chime in..

Love you..

Donna

Still here and fighting....

Busy week this week......scans tomorrow and another try at chemo this Friday. 

I had my first reaction to chemo last time.....a really bad trip.......I asked to stop the infusion as I was hurting so bad and quite frankly it was a little disconcerting to say th eleast.  The hurses came in and filled me full of sterioids, benadryl, and demarol + fluids etc to calm the situation. 

That was round #5....so hopefully it will go better this time.  Their plan is to infuse those extra things they calmed me down with first in hopes that it will ont flare up again.  Still, it makes one hesittant to want to possibly go though that again.....but I've got to try and hope that was a one-off situation.  We'll see and cross that bridge this week.  I'm not abundant with choices anymore, so we need to keep this going as long as I can do it.

Some good news.....

Ny nicece and nephew, LMS and the other two girls are coming for an Easter visit.  They are aware of my condition so I hope their expectations are not too high.  I look pretty good.  Down 91;bs amd 11 waist sizes.  Lean and mean....

I'm hoping for a nice viisit and that I can do a a few things while they are here.  My nephew wanted to come because deep down he was afraid he would not see me in good condition or worse.  I guess those Garage Talks really made an impact on the both of them when we were up there for her grandpa's funeral. 

Still here and thanks so much for checking on me, Ann.  Pain is still a constant issue but the surgery kicked in some and I feel some of the benefits from doing it finally.  I plan to do it again at some point.  And there is another medicine he wants me to try in clinic for pain.  It is an O/R anastehsia drug.  I have to go in clinic for monitoring to make sure I don't go loco.  We'll try this once and see how it goes.  If it works, great...if not, we discontinue immediately.

Good to see you.  Sorry I haven't been on much at all this fight; it has had alot of challenges.  I still hope to be able to sit up enough to write another post one day.  I really miss all of that and being so connected with the community.  Sometimes I feel adrift and want to get back here but the pain is a challenge in sitting up, so that's really hinddred me this time around. 

I know you all understand.  But, I'm still with you even if my pen lies dormant.

Love/Craig

That's one of my two great-nieces...

both are adorable 2 year olds.  My youngest is 9 and I'm glad to say that the toddler years are behind me!   I much prefer babysitting and then returning them to their parents.

My youngest just turned 15 yesterday. Talk about freeing! Some people wish they had small children again but I have to say there is nothing like sleeping in on a Satutday so I'll pass.
