Happy New Year everyone.....

First off, I am sorry I have not blog for so many days. But most important is that I am doing really good :)
I did get my chemo treatment cold and all. I tricked em...went in all cough syrup ed up. It worked :) actually, my blood work was really good and that is what matters.
Dan, myself, Nancy, Jody and Amanda all came to treatment with me on Friday. It was great to have you all with me. Thank you!  And, I am soooo mad we didn't get a picture of all of us for my blog. Booo hooo Treatment went well as usual. I am so blessed! I have not had one bad reaction and I just keep doing so well. Thank God!!

After my treatment we met up with Sam, Tami, Jack & Reese. Also Faye & Truman ( Sam's parents) for lunch in Seattle.

  We had a great lunch. It was great to get to see the kids and grand kids one more time before they left town. It was also great to see Faye and Truman.

Then Dan and I kinda of gambled and planned on me feeling okay to take to the train to Portland to go watch Karley play ball. I felt okay and it worked out great. We stayed at Karley's place Friday night. Her heat was out and it was really cold, but we survived. I was still feeling really good. Weird.
Saturday a friend of mine from High School came to Portland to see us and to watch Karley play ball. Was so great to see you Jodi. Jodi and I played basketball together from 7th grade through high school. We met and had lunch then went to Karley's game.

Larry and Jodi Bellamy and US.

 Karley's team had their first conference game against Montana State. They lost :( Montana  could not miss a shot. PSU actually played pretty good Montana just played exceptional. 

For New Years Eve Dan and I took Karley out to dinner. We had such a great time!

 After dinner Karley dropped us off at our hotel. Oh yea, Danno didn't want to sleep on an air mattress in the cold so we did priceline and got a hotel for the night. It was nice. Karley went to a friends house to bring in the new year. Dan and I went to our hotel sat in the bar and had a couple of drinks before hitting the sac around 10:30. It was still a very happy new year.

I continue to be amazed at how good I am feeling. I still get tired, but I am well. I have decided to not work today and probably this week just because I get so weak. I still have not had much nausea. Just can't accomplish a lot in a day. As long as I get a lot of rest I do okay.

Yesterday I met up with a friend that I have not seen in years and we had a fabulous lunch. Connie and Amanda thank you for lunch and it was so great to see you both. Amanda I wish you the very best in the Navy.

 Connie, Me and Amanda

I must say one thing that this diagnosis has caused for me in a positive matter is the friends that have got in touch with me that I have not talked to in years. It has been a real blessing for me.

Diana thank you for coming out today and bringing lunch and visiting. It was really nice.
