December 5,2012

Good morning all...
My counts are going down and now all i have to do is wait and hopefully be home the week before Christmas..Today is my wedding anniversary, so happy anniversary to my husband, Bernie, he has been very supportive and been here for me through this journey for that I am grateful.

My "daughter" Kristen came by yesterday and the day before friends and my granddaughter and great granddaughters came by. I have my room decorated for christmas and have christmas music.. my favorite manheim steamroller. All the nurses come into my room and love it as it is the calmest they say..I also have my essential oil diffuser and it smells really good in here...

Any way all for the day all who check this out have a great day..until tomorrow..god bless....paula

November 30-2012

I skipped yesterday, as I had to have a port put in and it was an all day event, I chose a port this time as I had pic lines in the last two times and it was more trouble than I wanted, so the port will stay in until I am done with treatment and longer to make sure I won't need anymore chemo. Which I won't I am assured I will be done with this..!! So I am looking forward to May when I will not  be doing this anymore, my last vist will be In April yeah....




No point in putting my counts on until it matters, right now everything is good, I have had my first chemo treatment and will get another tonight and tomorrow and then another on Sunday night and Monday a.m. then that is done, we just wait for my counts to go down and come back up..hopefully all this will be done before xmas..

thought I would share pictures of my great granddaughters, that were taken at halloween, miranda the 1 1/2 year old was a puppy and although you can't see it, stephanie was a little bunny, I will miss both of these babies, as i was helping my granddaughter by babysittting while she attended work and school, the baby and I had daily conversations she is so alert and active, and of course miranda is starting to be independent, we also had a lot of fun.  I'll share more over the weekend...the other baby is my "adopted grandbaby" Olivia, she is my daughter's great neice and they are all part of the family...

Today is the first day back in and starting chemo.  Sorry we haven't been blogging  November has been very busy for me. I have been spending alot of time with my great grand babies, also doing some baking, and hosted thanksgiving for our family  and close friends so it has been very eventful.  Now I am counting the days so I can be out of here for christmas. I am in room 1539 5th floor. I will keep you posted.

October 18 - Day 17

Day - 17

wbc -0.2
hgb - 9.1
plt  -  16

Well things do turn around quickly, I was having some problems which they thought was thrush, but may not be, running a lowgrade fever until last night and then when up to over 101 and I had some nausea, not fun, If it is my pic line, I want them not to use this again on my next three treatments, so maybe they will be putting in a port.  They also gave me a shot to boost my white blood cells, but that didn't happen, said it will probably be tomorrow that they come up.  On the brighter side of yesterday, Dr. Lockhart, visited me which thrilled me very much. I miss my faculty and it meant a lot to me to have him come and visit.

Hoping everyone has a great day and I'll be blogging again soon..

I have received plateletts 2 days in a row. I am so ready to go home, but not yet today I am running a fever, and I have a blister on my tongue that comes from having the treatment. They are giving me antibiotics, and lidocaine mouthwash, ugh! so maybe by tomorrow I'll be feeling better. My friend Deb, Bernie, Steve and Susan came to see me yesterday. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.. till then!!!
