January 24th

Where does the time go? I cannot believe January is almost over. Spring will soon be here. Yippee! I've gone back to work full-time. Three days a week at the Sun selling advertising and two days a week at Innovative Products. It's great to be out of the house, but I seem to get little else done. It's so nice to finally have a pay check again. Not working for 10 months was rough financially, but things could have been worse. We'll get thru this. My hair is about 3/4 of an inch long. Lots of gray. Not as thick as I'd like. I just hope time does it justice. I need to go on a diet. Food tastes like it should, and I'm enjoying every bite. I've actually put on a few pounds this winter. It's cold. It's very easy to come home from work, eat some dinner and then get a blanket and lounge on the couch. :-) I'm feeling good. Finally building up some stamina, but I like my sleep. Don't have to go to the doctor again until late March. Yeah! Take care. Love ya all!

January 3rd, 2011

Happy New Year! Yes, a new year... thank God!

I haven't written since before Thanksgiving and a LOT has happened in the past 7 weeks. Treatments are completely over. My port has been removed. Ended up in the hospital the Wednesday after Thanksgiving for 5 days. Lots of stomach cramps and just didn't feel quite right. Turned out I had an infection and was running a 103.7 fever when I was admitted. My white blood cell count was extremely low and was depleted of some metals. They put me on some heavy duty IV antibiotics and IV magnesium, potassium, and iron. Slept great this go around and came out feeling like a new woman. Each day gets a better.

Started back part-time at Sun Publications in the middle of December. Things are going well. It is so great to see and talk to people about things other than cancer and my treatments. My hair is growing, but it's startling to see how much gray I really have. Hair color does amazing things. LOL! My eye lashes and eye brows have come back. Love it! I had a check up with my oncologist last week and all is good.

Christmas and New Years was quiet at our house. Spent time with the family enjoying each other's company and good food. I'm sad to see the holidays go, but I'm also excited to get this year rolling and see where it takes me.

My prayer is for everyone to have a wonderful and healthy 2011. Love to you all!
