<\/p>\n
Week 2 was so much better than week one. The RX I got for my heartburn really helped, and my fatigue lifted almost completely by Friday. Again, fingers crossed that this is how it goes the rest of the time.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Brandi and Shayne came over (Muriah was not well) and we had a nice hang-out session while I was on my lunch break and then they proceeded to clean my kitchen from top to bottom. It was weird, but wonderful. I can’t express how appreciative I am of that kind of help, even if it is difficult for me to accept.<\/p>\n
Wed, Thurs, and Fri were just regular work days for me. I did some laundry, bathed Minmea and Norbert, and organized a few things.<\/p>\n
Saturday night Brettany came over and stayed, and we were up till almost 3 yammering away about everything. A great way to celebrate her one year anniversary of being home. \ud83d\ude42 I made chocolate chip cookies from scratch, as I have been craving them for weeks. I could not find the recipe I usually use, and busted out my mom’s old Betty Crocker cookbook from 1962 for one. It isn’t my favorite, but I am enjoying them very much. Alyson and Lauren dropped by to say hi and brought me some juice and almonds- yum! Also, my hair started to really start falling out.<\/p>\n
Sunday I got up and mowed my yard after swaddling myself in sleeves and hats and masks and gloves, and putting a ton of sunscreen on. I was in more danger of heat stroke than anything, but I really needed to do SOMETHING out there. It was starting to look like an abandoned home back there. I know I can’t dig in the dirt, and have to be super careful to make sure I am not breathing any dirt in, but I have to be able to do something out there every now and again or I will lose my mind.<\/p>\n
After that I headed over to the Boozer homestead for a Father’s Day lunch. I can’t be with my parents, but the Boozer’s always make me feel so welcome. Elaine and Don remind me a lot of my Mom and Dad, and Rocky and Brettany are like the extra siblings I never had. All around a super-awesome family. We had an amazing lunch! Vegetable risotto, roasted garlic,grilled corn on the cob,\u00a0 asparagus, baked potatoes, whole grain bread, (they had steaks and salmon, along with shrimp diablo,) and Bret made\u00a0 tiny lemon and pecan tarts for dessert. There were so many yummy noises happening it made me giggle. After dinner we had great conversation and some good laughs. It was really comforting for me.<\/p>\n
I went home, and did more laundry, and waited for my sister and her family to come up. They had a surprise for me, and took time out of their day to drive all the way up to deliver it! They made a big, soft quilt for me, with embroidery on it that was so sweet it made me burst into tears from joy and appreciation! We don’t see each other often enough, and I love them all so much. They stayed for about 2 hours just shootin’ the breeze. They have a ton of fun things planned for their summer, and my nephew is about to start drivers ed. Oh Loaarday! I can’t even believe he is old enough to do that yet. nothing makes you feel old like seeing the babies you love turn into young adults seemingly overnight. I don’t feel that old (at least in my head.)<\/p>\n
I finished up the night with dishes, downloaded the new magnificent Matt Berry LP “Kill the Wolf”\u00a0 and pan fried the paneer that John made with some saffron rice, and noshed on that before getting ready for bed. Changed the sheets, showered, and tried my hardest to relax and go to sleep. Unfortunately, my GP had not refilled my Lunesta or my panic medicine yet. Sleep never really came. I read till about 3, then was up 5 times to go the bathroom. Insomnia stinks under regular circumstances. I’ve had it since I can remember, and have tried pretty much every trick in the book to make it stop. Lunesta works, but I have REAAAALLLLY weird dreams with it. I have taken it off and on for at least 7 years. There will be weeks of months that I don’t need it. But when I need it, I need it. Right now, I need it. I never took panic meds regularly, but they are really the only things keeping me from screaming 24\/7 right now, and I took my last one Saturday. Normally, I am not a big fan of pharmaceuticals, but right now, I am really going to lean on all of them that I can. I just have need to save my energy to focus on killing the cancer, and once that is done I can go back to using mostly natural remedies for my ailments.<\/p>\n
Ok, as promised, some photos of my port (sorry- they are not the best. I just have a little point and shoot):<\/p>\n
This is kind of an idea of the profile it has.<\/p>\n Really, the surgeon did a beautiful job. I hope that when it comes out it is as nice.<\/p>\n end of week 2!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The universe likes making fun of me.
