Finally Chemo again

I finally got my Chemo again ! Platelets did rise some ! Even though I was so nervous all Night and hardly slept ! It was raining Cats and dogs when I went at 8AM ( Which is in the middle of the night for me ) Now I am waiting on the harsh side Effects , My Fingertips are still numb and I eat  very little !
Daniel and Jody are here and it did feel good to be with them ! I just had to rest often and they understood !

My Garden

So many things have changed in my life ! And I am grateful that I have another Day . I watch my Humming birds in the morning and in the evening ! It brings me so much joy ! One of my beautiful Lilies that my Niece gave me years ago and it was in full bloom !


I named her Christine ! After my Niece . My Garden has become my Refuge ! Here are some Pictures !


Our Front Yard !
Our Back Yard !


Front of the House
My Yard gives me peace ! I know that I will fight this Cancer with all I have ! Here is a wonderful Painting in one of my Guest rooms , that I bought @ the French Market in Nola
Our Super Dome after Hurricane Katrina  below the man with 2 Tears running down his face ! Yes , I can really relate to this picture ! The Artist signed it and there are only 2000 Pictures . I got lucky !
I look at life in a different way now ! I love to write but I don't always feel good and fall behind . I have changed my Will ! And I am putting nothing off anymore !

No Chemo again !

When I went to the Cancer Center yesterday ,  I asked for the Chemo Nurse and she said that the Dr. is going on a one week Vacation ! So all these weird side effects that I am going through , like Numbness in my Fingertips , Nosebleeds , Nose pain , weak , irritable  my neck started hurting off and on ! I asked if I can see another Dr. and she said no !

So today she calls me and told me that AGAIN I am not able 2 get my Chemo because my platelets are down to 56 ! I want to get this over with !

I don't know how to express myself sometimes ! Been doing a lot of Soul searching in the last Year . I love life ; always have ! But I also know what Cancer stage 4 means ! I have my affairs in Order ! Leaving some Letters for my loved ones !
Now I have 2 get my House in Order ! The Chemo does not let me function normally so I have closets full 2 the rim one Guestroom is still filled with Boxes ! Our health is just so bad right now that we are not able 2 do a whole lot . But I managed to get the "other" Guest room ready , it took me 3 days ! We are getting company from my Husbands Brother and his wife from Florida !
I went to get my blood taken and they stuck me 3 times ; and finally they got lucky !
On Thursday the Agony of 7 Hours Chemo again :(
