If I said I was having an impromptu mid week short break where’s the first place that springs to mind? As much as I’d like to say ‘No, you’re wrong, I’m in Prague’ if you did say the Royal in Liverpool you would indeed be correct.
I̵ ...
Tonight I really needed something to make me laugh. This picture from someone on Facebook did just that for me. The squirrel totally reminded me of Howie Mandel. He's a Canadian comedian and he's also a judge on America's Got Talent. Love that guy! :-)
I've just completed this book by Dawn White. On Friday we discovered that Cancer Care had a resource library for patients and their families. Imagine that? It only took us 5 weeks to even know it existed. Sheesh!! We walked out of there with our arms loaded with reading mat ...
It's only 2 pm and I already feel like I've gone through a full day. This morning I had a bit of a scare. Well, it was more than a bit of a scare, it was a LOT of a scare!
I just wanted to post something quickly to say thank you to all of you who read my last post and either commented on my blog, fb page, or messaged me.
With this damned cancer, I am so lucky to have such a fantastic family around me, and such great caring friends…..both ...
So today I did something that I had been putting off for about 6 months. I had some bothersome skin tags in my armpits that I continually nicked with the razor when I shaved. It seemed like every time I booked the appointment, something would come up and I would have to res ...
Today was a dex day. Know how I knew? Well as soon as I walked into the livingroom and even before I could say good morning to Mr. B, he announced that today was a dex day. Was he trying to warn me? LOL
I haven’t written for a while….largely because I have been really chocca trying to get on with things. But the last week or so have been really tough and I’m really feeling lost and don’t really know why or how to cope with it all.
I don’t seem ...
Hair is beginning to show now, more like a bunch of little tiny nubbins! Feels good tho to rub my little head. I’ll be so glad to have coverage someday!!! Passed two CBC tests with flying colors and just had a meeting with my local oncologist. He told me that I was d ...
Still losing some weight, taste buds still broken. But I’m getting there slowly. Slowly is the problem, I’m wayyy too impatient. (Like that’s a big surprise!) Won’t be going back to work for another month and a half because of the stem cell transpla ...
It’s been a funny few weeks with a real mix of emotions.
Overall I feel like it’s been quite a good few weeks….strange really as I’ve had a week with a pulled muscle so bad I would put it on a par with labour (yes that bad!). It involved the compulsor ...
Enough is enough!
Last fall, snow came early to the valley, and then stopped. The foreshadowing of a long, gloomy winter evaporated with a succession of sunny December days. The New Year heralded more of the same. In front of the Post Office, snapdragons I’d planted last M ...
Alright, here’s something I didn’t know. My chemo drugs were gemcitabine, busulfan and melphlan. My skin got darker in places and started peeling. Not that bad but now I’m peeling all over now, even the palms of my hands! Last PA said “oh, yeah, you ...
Still on the mend. Walked a small block yesterday at home but at a vigorous rate and my muscles are paying for it now! Taste buds getting a little better, ate fried cat fish Yesterday and salmon today. I’m going to try to be a working person in two weeks or so. I wal ...
Still sleeping better and better. Ate a frozen dinner, spaghetti, the whole thing! 1st time! Dr appt moved to next Wednesday. Not so happy about that. Walked twice around the whole rv park. good day today
I can sleep all night now, sometimes with the aid of pills. Appetite is better, nausea is a little less of a problem. Met with Dr. yesterday. She said I did better on the harsh regimen than anyone else. Heck yeah I’m braggin! I meet with her again next Monday, and I ...
