Emotional week for us.....

To say the least, this has been a rough week for both Dan and I.  I think it must have to do with our several doctor appointments last week.  I don't know, but we have both been very sad :(
Lots of tears and lots of talks.  Also a lot of stuff done at home.  We seem to dig in and get stuff done when we are down.  I do as much as I can.  More on some days, less on others.  BUT.....the best news is that today we are both feeling really good.  We woke up today with no power, weird.  So Dan got the generator running and we hooked up the TV and watch the news.  Nothing about any power outages.  My neighbor Tonya came up to get warm since her family was all gone.  Then the power came on once she got here :). 


I am actually feeling pretty good most of the time.  I still get waves of just not feeling good, but I think I am having more feel good waves than not feel good waves.  My energy is up and down also.  Evenings I have noticed that I really start to ache all over.  I think this is from the neopogen shots that I get on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  I take Clariton D and glutamine and that helps a lot.  I know it helps because if I don't take it, my aches are horrible.


I will work tomorrow and thursday and then Karley will be home for Spring break.  I am so excited for her to be home.  She hasn't got such a long Spring break since she left for College.  One perk when your basketball team doesn't make it to post season play :(.  Will be so nice having her home.  She is really excited to go to treatment with me on Friday also.  Dan is going to get a break.  My neighbor Tonya and Karley will be with me.


The count down is on....only 3 more chemo treatments after Friday.  Wow... that sounds wonderful.  I am praying for a "complete response" no cancer left at all.  We'll see soon.
