Tuesday the 26th I woke up vomiting. I guess my tummy didn't like the 4 crackers and 1 cheese slice that I ate Sunday night for supper! Arrrgggghhh! My tummy has been doing the same thing for the last 2 weeks. I get bloated and nauseated then eventually vomit. Then after a few hours I try to eat again. Then the cycle starts again... even though I was trying not to eat much at all. But damn, I need some nutrition. Starting to feel weak.
So I came down to OSU Hospital Tuesday night. They started an IV and I could have ice chips...and that's it! By the time I got down here the obstruction had mostly resolved. So no bloating, no nausea, and no vomiting. So I've been feeling pretty good.
The plan now is to see if I can tolerate a full liquid diet tonight, and so far I have. Yummy, that chocolate milkshake rocked! So now I'm going to try tomato soup...we'll see.
Thanks for stopping in to see me Laura Conti. We were having some much fun she decided to stay the night with me! Hehe Well heck, there was already a cot in my room when I got here. Thanks Chelsy for getting us all set up! I have some really nice nurses taking care of me!

It's 2010! Time to Reflect...
Almost 18 months cancer-free...how long will it last? Such an aggressive cancer, this damn Leiomyosarcoma! Every CT/MRI I have had since my completion of radiation in August 2008 was VERY stressful. Even when I didn't realize it, "SCAN"XIETY loomed in the back of head. Knowing that I had a 50% chance of the cancer returning. Wondering if NOT having chemo back then was the right path. Since my doc's hadn't dealt with many sarcomas, did they really know the BEST treatments?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last year and half has brought me so much joy and contentment. To be a GRANDMA! Wow. I love it! To become so much closer to my family. My sis is my best friend now! My husband and I couldn't be any closer. I get to see my daughter and her family every week when I go to babysit my little Maxton. My stepdaughter moved in with our youngest grandson, Marcus, for 6 months. He is a little angel. My Mom has been so much help to me through all my health issues. My stepdad and I have become closer than I ever thought possible. He has been down the cancer road as well. My Mother-in-law has moved closer to us and our relationship has grown. And then I began working at Samaritan and have some wonderful friends! I love that place so much! It's worth the 45 minute drive.
I HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE!
And I know how to live it...by the seat of my pants! :)
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a beer (or tequila) in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming "woo hoo, what a ride"
**HEY! DON'T FORGET TO GO TO "OLDER POSTS" JUST ABOVE THIS ON THE RIGHT. LOTS OF COOL INFO THERE TOO! YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS ME WITH TIM MCGRAW!
