2 Storms meeting just over our house

Last month 2 really strong storms were predicted in our area. The clouds were growing darker, the wind was picking up so we all went outside to look over the situation......those 2 storms were meeting each other right over our house!! Took some really good pictures till the wind came up strong and the lightening was coming straight down. That put me and my metal camera in the house FAST!!

No pictures to post but did want to update on my treatments....had a "FUN" colonoscopy Friday and everything looked great (I guess that would depend on who's looking)! No polyps, nothing. Today I went to my surgeon for a follow-up and he said I was doing great....no problems! Other than being terribly tired some days I feel pretty good. Have lost about 40 pounds all together..which I needed to lose...and love buying new clothes! I have not lost any hair nor have I been sick for which I am so Grateful!!
I have completed 7 chemo treatments and have 5 to go which should finish out at the end of April. Look out May, I'm going somewhere!!!
I think the worst of all this is the sensitivity to cold. Can't drink anything cold; can't touch anything cold..it's like touching 220volt electric..Patrich Swazey said that and it is SO TRUE!! I am addicted to Pepsi and haven't had one in several months cause it has to be cold or I don't want it. I forget and try to open a door and the knob is freezing...doesn't take me long to let go of it!!
I want to thank everyone who has prayed for me and had me in their thoughts. You are ALL a gift from GOD and I love you dearly!!

After 3 hours of chemo, I have to go home with a pump system that continues to put chemo into my body for 46 hours. The chemo is called 5fu......they sure got that name right!!

This is the pump system I have to wear in a fanny pack for 2 days. The nurse is instructing me on how to operate it.

Cancer Care Mascot

This cat lives at the building where I do my treatments. He has his own bowl and is given regular water and food. He loves to come out when people enter the building.

He is very friendly and very playful.

What a joy to see him each time I go for a treatment.

Pics of Thanksgiving with Family

This is my sister, Doretta. Can you believe she turned 79 on Thanksgiving day? She doesn't look a day older than me.... :) She and her husband, Jim, drove in from the great state of Texas. We are so glad to get to spend the holiday with them....these times are precious for us.

Here we are working on a Norman Rockwell puzzle....The Family Feast.

This is Doretta's husband, Jim working it with me. He is the master puzzle worker.....

Got the Port Inserted and Had 1st Chemo Treatment All in TWO Days!

I got my port inserted on Tuesday, November 18th. Here it is in all its glory....I really am not as sad as I look in the picture....I just didn't think my face was going to be in the picture...

This is where I sat for my 1st treatment....I am wearing a prayer shawl made by my daughter, Traci. I actually thought I would probably get cold, but to my surprise I was hot for most of the treatment. Others seemed to be cold....I don't know if this will be normal or not.

The people around me who were also receiving treatment were very upbeat and friendly. There is even a nice little outdoor patio that we can go to if we have enough battery power on our pumps.
Thank you for your continued prayers and cards. They are working and very uplifting.
When I went home, I had a very designer...black fanny pack I got to tote around for 46 hours. I had it removed on Friday and got to enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family on Saturday.
Please continue to stop in for more updates.....

Have You Ever Seen This Guy?

This is Terry Fator, the guy who won America's Got Talent! He is a ventriloquist and can sing/imitate just about any celebrity.

He came to town and I got to see him!!!

This is my 2nd time to see him in person....I went in May while in Las Vegas....both shows were AMAZING!!!

If you ever get the chance to see him, please take the opportunity...you won't be sorry.
