All in all a good week



Taking care of me is a full time job and the Former Boyfriend is exhausted and stressed more than he’s willing to admit (picture George Jetson on his treadmill – for those of you old enough to remember) so I decided that I would take the time to update everyone today.

It’s been a week of good news.  Since the passing of Louise one of the traditions that I have carried on is Thanksgiving dinner.  I didn’t believe I would be able to do dinner this year, so my nephew Josh called on Veterans Day and said that he would take care of the details and nephew Jake and wife Elizabeth are graciously hosting this year’s dinner.  I had tears in my eyes. It’s a special day for me.

This was followed by my friend Elisabeth calling to let me know the love of her life Bart has proposed marriage and she’s accepted.  She’s been my rock through all this chemo and together they’re a wonderful couple and Johnny and I are very excited for them and can’t wait for all the wedding details.

Today was my 4th in a series of 12 chemo treatments with taxol.  All of my blood work looks good, and I feel good.  A big part of this is Kim and Beth my chemo nurses.  They are two very funny, kind hearted individuals making this part of the journey as easy for me as they possibly can.
