8-12-14 Hello Again

Well, I'll admit it. This is a total boredom post. I am tired, tired, tired but have slept, slept, slept. I've watched TV, read, played my phone/ipad games. I'm just ready for some entertainment that I can just lay here and enjoy.

Here is a picture of me getting ready to head out to Chemo #2 with my Chemo Buddy, Grant. I was not quite as excited to go as it may appear in this picture, though!! Loy says to notice the death grip I have on my phone--no one was taking that away from me this time!!!! :)

Grant was kind of funny during the treatment and the shot the next day. He would look around the room and say, "Wonder what they're in for?" or "She has low platelets." (He got that from shameless eavesdropping.) But, I often find myself wondering "Which one is the patient?" when a couple comes in. Unfortunately, it's not usually too hard to tell.

Last week I posted my picture of me in a hat. Well, our little Sweet Paytootie loves the book "Go Dog Go." ("Do you like my hat?" "Oh, no I do not." "Good bye." "Good bye.") So when she saw that picture, she was pretty sure that Grammy was going to a dog party!! Much more fun than chemo, I'm sure!!

Loy made me laugh this week…he actually went and bought shares of Sonic stock--just because that is what is sounding good to me just about every afternoon. (If I get through this without major dental work due to cavities from all the slushes, it'll be a miracle!) So far it's gone up $1 a share!!! We're gonna be rich, I tell you!!!  :)

I was telling people that I didn't want to "jinx" it, but that I was feeling better this time than last on the corresponding day. But, then I got to thinking about that. If I'm worried about jinxing something, doesn't that negate my belief that prayer is what made the difference? So, I've decided to just say that I am so thankful that God has blessed me with better energy and appetite this time. I even cooked part of these supper last night!! That was NOT happening last Chemo session!!

Here's a link to a song that I just love. I can't say I totally live this way, but I want to. Hope you like it too.

Thankful for the meals that have come our way, friends who call me or send me cards, magazines to distract me, cool weather, crazed dogs, a hard-working hubby.

Love,

Kitt.
