I Have The Sweetest Friends, I really Do

Today is Thursday, June 16, 2011. The thunderstorms have arrived! Not that we don't need the rain, because we really, really do. But, I don't like driving in the down pours! George woke me up this morning and announced that he would be taking me to treatment today. Okay..what gives? He has a doctors appointment this afternoon and was going to go with me anyway, has nothing to do with the rain. LOL

I received a gorgeous package Tuesday! It was wrapped in a mint green tissue paper and garden tools, topped off with a green poka dot ribbon. It contained TWO books! The beautiful hand written card was like the cherry on the cake. Thank you Suzie!

Then today I received another package, it contained something that I had ordered for a special someone, and something that I didn't. It is a gorgeous Magic Bottle of Hope! George read both of the cards and told me,"You have some really sweet friends, you really do." I know that, I really do! The handmade card was so cool! Thank you Marie!

Yesterday was my long day and also the day the I see my doctor. She told me she didn't know what I was doing, but don't change a thing. I guess because I refuse to have all of the ailments that someone else has, she has a hard time believing it. Like I told her to start with, please don't tell me how I am going to feel, let me tell you how I am feeling. The power of suggestion is just to great. She told me that I was flying through this, yeah I am, FUCK cancer! 11 more treatments to go! Whoot!

Geesh, I can't believe that I didn't publish this before leaving this morning! I think that maybe the radiation is effecting my brain.

Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live today. ~Brightest Blessing!

Some Days Are Better Than Others

She is in some deep thought....

Today is Tuesday, June 14, 2011. The weather here has been just gorgeous! YES, it has been hot buy a dry hot which is real unusual for us. Sinus have been really acting up too not sure if that has anything to do with the dry weather or not. I do know that I am enjoying the weather. I know that I am not suppose to be hanging out in the sun, but it makes me feel so warm, just that warm fuzzy feeling all over. Like a new pair of socks makes you feel.

Well ladies, we have 22 treatments down and 14 to go! Whoot, doing the happy dance! I am not one to take pain pills, I like to be in control of me, not a drug. But, the pills that she has given me I have learned to take two when I get home and get busy with what I need to do. Usually eating is the first thing I really need to do, I am starving when I get home. By doing this I don't seem to be as sore or as stiff.

The PT has really helped my arm. It isn't where it needs to be, however it sure is moving better and not nearly as painful. This lady, Vicki is wonderful, I love her! I have to be honest, when I was in pain all of the time from my shoulder and not able to move or use my right arm/hand, I was really having thoughts about all of this treatment and what kind of life I was going to be living. I believe in quality not quantity . She told me that I should have had PT from the time of surgery and things would have never gotten this bad. It is like a door that hasn't been opened in four months, it has to be moved and worked everyday. So it is getting there, has to be worked every day and some days hurt more than others. Looking forward to the day that I don't have to work it so much and it just joins the rest of my body in working together.

Thank you to all that helped Leta to adopt her little fella! He now has a new home and a new mama to take care of him. I still don't have a picture to share with you. If she is anything like I am with trying to make a camera work, it could be years before we get to see him. And as promised, the winner is Rue (Jen)! So if you would please let me know which bracelet you would like and send my your snail mail, I will get it out to you! Again thanks to everyone that helped!

Middle of The Third Week

These 2 know how to enjoy the summer!

Today is Thursday, June 10, 2011. The weather has been just gorgeous, hot but gorgeous! There has even been a nice breeze to enjoy. The critters are really enjoy it the birds and squirrels are all over the yard, there are turkeys over the fence too.

This week is the third week of radiation and Wednesdays are slap crazy. It started at 8:30 with my first dose of radiation, then to the radiation doctor, then over to PT, from there to ENT, then to draw blood and then back for my second dose of radiation. Most Wednesdays are that way. Wednesdays are the double dose of radiation. Felt a little rough yesterday when I got home thinking it was the heat, but after a nap, thought other wise. Twenty-three more doses to go, the last one should be June 29.

Still trying to get the quilts finished up, damn this just zaps the energy right out of you, if I get the laundry, dinner, dust or vacuum done, I have done just about all I can do for the day. Not liking that, love to be working on my crafts and don't seem to even be able to sit at the sewing machine or ironing board.

I would like to ask a favor of you that would like to help a friend out. Leta has had cancer three different times now and different types, she is my hero. Anyway she volunteers at the animal shelter. There is this little three pound dog there that has been adopted twice and brought back both times. She says, "his little lipstick doesn't close up all the way." She is on disability is under going breast cancer treatment, and would like to adopt him, however the fee is $105 which there is no way she has. If you feel the need to help her save him, they want to put him down, she has a paypal account at witchywoman1922@gmail every dollar will help to adopt him. I will put up a picture of his as soon as she figures out how to work the camera to do it. LOL

Everyone that donates will be put into a drawing for a bracelet of their choice from my Etsy shop. It doesn't matter the amount of the donation, just make sure to add BBW Blog to the Paypal transaction so that I know to add your name.

I hope to get some things done or finished up today. Really not liking this laying around doing nothing. They have started the farmer's market down town again here, so I hope that this Saturday I will have it in me to get my butt up and down there. Everyone needs to support them now that it is back, including me, no matter how I feel.

I love our down town shops, the shop owners are the coolest folks you ever want to meet. Last summer we were not here and then I got this junk, it feels like it has been years since I have been there, keeping my fingers crossed that I get there this Saturday.
