December was a stressful month for us. I was in the hospital for 8 days over Christmas. We had to postpone our holiday get togethers also. I was in Galion Hospital due to an infection SOMEWHERE! Never found out exactley where it was. I felt a lot better after the hydration and antibiotic started working! My PICC line fell out in my right upper arm! So I had a new one placed in my left upper arm. It's working great! Thanks to all the vistors I had while in the hospital. It sure helped the days go by.
Mom is still in Carlisle House. It was hard having our holiday get togethers without her! :( She is slowly going down hill. We sure appreciate our Aunt Joanne & Aunt Marcia for visiting her almost every other day. We love you!
We put Mom's house up for sale but have had no interests yet! NOT ONE! Uggggggg!!!! Hopefully warmer weather will bring some people in.
So a bunch of my friends got together and put up all my Christmas decorations. Thank good ness for them! I was so tired and worn out. I could not have gotten it done this year! We had a good time. Thanks girls I sure appreciate it
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"
