After So Long
I can't believe it has been so long since I have made an intry in this blog. A lot has transpired in my life since I last posted. I have celebrated my 2nd wedding anniversary with my wonderful husband Thomas, whom I am deeply in love with. I also celebrated my 44th birthday.....WOW! I can't hardly believe it. I mean I don't look a day over 30, for real...hahahahaha. It is a good thing too because my husband in 33, soon to be 34 and I have to stay young looking for him.
Another thing is I was diagnosed with Colon cancer and had to have major surgery. I lost my Sigmoid Colon, some of my small intestines and the cancer had grown to my bladder. I am much better now though. I got a Portacath put in and on the 9th of this month I will be starting Chemo therapy. I went for my teaching session on the 4th and they told me some of the things to look for. Of course there is the obvious, hair loss. Sores in the mouth, weakened immune system, physical weakness, severe nausea...some I wasn't prepared for are extreme sensitivity to cold, no more ice cream or ice water, at least not until chemo is over and if everything goes well, I should be through in Feburary. I can't even reach into the refigerator without gloves on....sensitivity to the sun....hot flashes and chills....oh and for 3 days after each session I will have severe bone pain, but it will subside until the nest session.
I will be going in every 2 weeks for 3 day intervals for 12 sessions. It will take approx. 6 months, if I am able to have sessions on time. The first day I will be there for five and a half hours, the 2nd day 3 hours, the 3rd day 15 minutes.....I will do that every 2 weeks. I saw the Chemo room, they have recliners and a large screen tv, but you know all those women are gonna wanna watch soap operas....which I can't stand.
I have been doing a lot of crocheting lately, since I can't work..and I don't know how the chemo is going to affect me as far as work is concerned.....I really need to go back to work as soon as I can....we need to money I used to make....
I was staying at my mothers while I got better and that was nice, I am a mama's girl and have enjoyed being back home for a while.
I know noone will read this blog because I have been forgotten by anyone who actually read it way back when, it is really more for myself that I sit here and type this now, anyway....
I really wish I has something clever to say, but I just can't think of anything at this time.
