My email isn't working! How frustrating. I'm assuming that it's on my providers end as I went to the tds website and tried to log in and couldn't there either. :( At least my internet is still working but if you email me I won

Putting one foot after the other
Tuesday, 31 January 2006 2:16 A GMT-06
In a situation such as cancer the only way to keep getting through is to keep going one step at a time. To look too far forward is too overwhelming, so I find it best to look at each step as I take it, like a baby learning to walk. I have

My husband's back has been hurting for a few days and today it got so bad he can't walk or change positions without severe pain. We went to the ER and they gave him some muscle relaxers and pain meds. The doc suspects it's a herniated dis
My Aunt Margie
Monday, 30 January 2006 11:59 P GMT-06
Running joke in our family often brings my dear Aunt Margie to mind. Oh, she was a corker! I wish we had been closer in age so I could have truly known her, but then again, maybe it's best this way. Aunt Margie was my great aunt and

Confession
Sunday, 29 January 2006 2:28 P GMT-06
While I try to go around being upbeat and at least have a facade of happiness and being fun, I feel cranky. I snap occasionally and have just been plain irritable lately. I don't want to drive people away and I don't want to cause Dennis

Living like a mushroom . . . in the dark . . .

After spending the entire day at the Mayo yesterday I still don’t really know much. All of my tests have been negative for TB and various funguses. I had the bronchoscopy and don’t have those results yet but I imagine they will not tell u

Dennis' office party
Monday, 23 January 2006 12:29 P GMT-06
Dennis party was Saturday night and it went well. When we arrived at the Eagle's Club, where the party would be, we saw the sign out front advertising the DJ for the night and this was the first we knew that the entire place would be enjoying t

I know I'm not there yet

I know I'm not there yet. . . not to the point of having to make those decisions and hopefully won't be for many years. But the thoughts are there and I imagine they're normal. This morning we ran into town and happened to see that radiat

Spouses and cancer

One thing I've noticed in reading other people's blogs is how many people have issues with arguing. I'm so happy that is one issue we don't have. Am I saying we always agree? No. But maybe it's because we married at 36 years old and it's not a first

I hate the way everyone mispronounces our last name! And with going to all the doctor’s I’ve been going to lately it’s happening on a daily basis. It seems no matter how many times I correct them it still ends up sounding like I&rsq

Moving stuff
Sunday, 15 January 2006 7:12 P GMT-06
Yesterday my son, Khris, helped me move some things home from storage. We now have more places to sit. :) I can't lift much still yet, not because I'm not allowed but because I lost all those muscles the house building made. :
Having a good day

The sun is shing and it's a good day. I keep coughing like crazy but feel pretty good. Especially feel good mentally today. I know this is totally wrong and I should be very upset that my regimine has been distrupted but at the mome

Is Friday the 13th lucky or unlucky?
Friday, 13 January 2006 9:40 P GMT-06
I woke up terrified of what today would hold. In fact, I didn’t want to get out of bed, just wanted to remain there in the dark. I willed myself up and out the door but was still hesitant to find out what I would hear.
Yesterday I got the bloo

As a mother, how you long to protect them. Haden is in 7th grade and has his first crush. A Pippi Longstocking of a girl named Kim. He told me a few days ago that he asked Kim to be his girlfriend and I was happily surprised to

Sleepless (very long, sorry)

I am a night owl, always have been and Dennis is not. Therefore, I try to be considerate and go to sleep earlier when he's not gone working. However if I go to sleep too early I end up tossing half the night and getting crappy sleep. I only need abou

Honesty

As you can probably imagine my mood isn't the best. I've been having myself a little private pity party inside my brain off and on today. I think "why me?", I feel whiny and mad and frustrated and aggravated. I thought I w
Update on today's hospital experience
Saturday, 7 January 2006 10:14 P GMT-06
We had barely gotten home when the local oncologist called to check on me and ask a few more questions. He’s evidently concerned with my previous lung surgery - the fact it was TB that my body had walled off. There’s medication they give

I was very much looking forward to over a week of feeling decent to good before the next chemo. But you know what they say about the best laid plans. After running a fever of 100-102 since yesterday we decided to go the ER. I don’t recall if I

Where NOT to eat

I’m sure that you’ve heard you should always check the bathroom of a restaurant you’ve never been to before to see the cleanliness and glean some ideas of the cleanliness of the kitchen. While on our trip to MO for the holidays we s

Sleeping the day away

I haven't eaten much today, nor drank. Just sleep. My throat feels less swollen although my mouth is more coated and nothing tastes right. I had a small amount of nausea this morning but nothing major. Just have no appetite, n
