port installed
Tuesday, 29 November 2005 10:12 P GMT-06
Just a short note to say I got the port put in this morning. Lots I want to say but I'm not feeling real whoopy tonight so it can wait. The surgery went fine and I go in the morning to begin the Chemo. There were 2 small incisions made to install

Doctor's notes

Yesterday, against Dennis' wished I climbed the ladder and put boughs along the top of the wall that divides the kitchen from the living room. I was able to place a bough just so, so the twine is fairly covered. I have taken photos and wi
Christmas Tree
Sunday, 27 November 2005 11:59 P GMT-06
Saturday morning we piled into the car to get the Christmas tree. It has been a tradition that every family member living in the house goes to get the tree. But this year was different. Mikal and Khris didn't go and I couldn't take
Running away from home
Friday, 25 November 2005 5:06 P GMT-06
I keep trying to get my husband help me run away so I won't have to go to the doctor Monday but so far all he's offered is to take me up north or to get a Christmas tree and with either one of those I know he'd still drag me back for Monday. :( Y
HAPPY THANKSGIVING

This morning is heaven smelling cooking turkey while being kept company by Fibi and Dennis. All the boys are enjoying fresh coffee while I enjoy a diet coke - I don't drink coffee. Doggies seem happy and content. So far this morning, Life is Good!
Worries and fears

You all amaze me with your dedication to checking in on me and giving words of support. I hope you all know how much it means. We've only lived in WI for 2 years and due to the fact that I don't work and my husband works all over the state we hav

I asked my regular doctor today if I should increase my calcium or doing anything to help the osteo during the chemo, to keep it from getting worse. Her response was that I should concentrate on the cancer and the osteo will be okay for the 6 month
Shunt/port for chemo
Tuesday, 22 November 2005 10:33 A GMT-06
Sorry for not explaining it all better. I meet with the surgeon Monday afternoon to get a port placed in my chest (or arm) that will remain there for the duration of chemo. Through this port they can do IVs and the chemo and draw blood so I don't
Shunt appointment
Monday, 21 November 2005 5:24 P GMT-06
We got a message from the Mayo today that my appointment to get the shunt in is next Monday, the 28th. I imagine it's an outpatient thing but I'm not sure. That will also be the start of my first chemo. They may want me near for the first one,
Passing the time with Counted Cross-Stitch
Sunday, 20 November 2005 2:49 P GMT-06
Not much exciting happening but I thought I should let you all know I'm still alive. :) I'm feeling less pain each day but still can't stand for long periods. I promised Amber I'd take pictures of the puppies in the snow. Well, I found my cam
Christmas Cactus

Last night my husband was so intent on getting the tv hooked up in the bathroom for me so I can lay in my whirlpool and watch tv. Aren't I spoiled?! :) It took a couple of trips to Menards but he did get it up and working and looking good too.

Hey guys, I was only at Mayo for the day and on my way home now. My husband has to work today in a town that is between the clinic and our house so we stopped overnight. He's still sleeping so I'm sitting in the bathtub, trying to keep from waking

The last few days have been pretty eventful. After getting on the antibiotics I continued to have drainage, in fact Sunday morning I woke up looking like I had been slaughter
Just one more set back
Saturday, 12 November 2005 8:21 P GMT-06
While I was in the hospital, let's see it was Saturday night (I had surgery Thursday), my blood pressure dropped enough to effect my breathing I guess. All I know for sure is the nurse would check vitals during the night a couple of times and that n

I had a pretty good day today, less pain, so that's great. With my computer messed up I don't have access to some email addresses and stuff saved on it but hopefully soon. Also, haven't even tried to get back on the groups yet to catch up but again
Thank you everyone

You have all been so caring and supportive, I just wanted you to know it has helped, is helping. It's great to have such wonderful friends supporting me through this. I think if I didn't have the internet and this blog to help me through I would fe

Sorry for the delay in updates, I have been in the hospital this whole time and my mom has been with me and my husband was directed to update the blog but between working, seeing me and tending to house, dogs and kids he didn't get to it. This wil
Ultrasound and Colonoscopy
Tuesday, 1 November 2005 8:42 P GMT-06
We went to the appointment this morning at 8:30 a.m. and I didn't get done there until about 1p.m. It took two sticks to get the IV started but it did work. They were extremely nice and knocked me out completely. Yea! So I remember nothing after s
