Well…sorry I haven’t updated in awhile. But I’m getting stronger every day!
We have received gifts from the most unexpected places. I know God is working in huge ways, just in the way He has prompted people (even perfect strangers!) to help us with the cancer fund. I can’t thank you all enough for praying and giving. We will soon have enough for the COBRA for two months and continue my treatment as normal.
And speaking of treatment…Chris and I met with the radiology team last week. I will do chemo first (for two months) but I will also have to do radiation which I am completely dreading. The PA told me, “I’m not going to lie to you, it hurts” Ugh. And instead of the 6 weeks like they originally thought, the treatment plan is 8 weeks. Basically it’s an accumulated sunburn feeling for 8 weeks. They said if I get to week 7 and my skin is too burned or blistered, they won’t do the last week. Um, thanks. I think. Just gotta put on my big girl panties and deal with it I suppose.
Gosh, in reviewing this post, it’s all cancer, cancer, cancer…which is exactly what I set out NOT to do from the beginning. Cancer will not control my life. Here’s better stuff:
Trinity has TWO teeth coming in–on the bottom in front, they are poking through the gums! She’s so big–where has the time gone? She’s not crawling yet, she’s so lazy just like Gracie was. She’s working on talking though, I assume (again, like Gracie) that is so she can just sit around and order us to go get her things instead of having to actually exert the effort to crawl or walk to go get them herself. I’m in no hurry for her to be mobile, but as all moms know, there’s that panicked feeling of guilt and concern when someone asks the inevitable “is she crawling/talking/balancing your checkbook yet?” All these expectations, geez! That question should be illegal.
Gracie the Diva told me the other night that I’ve “ruined her life” because I refused to give her a cookie before dinner. Haha! What am I going to do with her? She cried for about an hour over it. Wow. Other than the occasional flip-out characteristic of all true drama queens, things in Gracie land are great. She’s starting to act four in so many ways. She dresses herself and draws pictures of our family and spells her name…sigh. Big girl!
Chris’ last day at AOL is Monday. Then Tuesday he starts his new job at Teleflora. Hourly pay is less, but the bonus payout is higher. So I know Chris will do well, he’s motivated by big bonuses. I am so proud of him, he was a top salesman at AOL and I have no doubt he will impress his new employer as well.
Well, that’s all. Gotta go and rest. Love you guys!!!
