Tia you crack me up!!!!!

and

ps YES I did have junk yesterday and it was really good. Tom, my bro-in-law brought Linda and I cheese and caramel corn popcorn fron Nuts on Clark and YES is is good and YES I did hide it from my boys! So YES I did have something healthy and something that I would not classify as junk becase it tasted soo good!

Guilty as Charged (but just a little....)

OK, so YES I did need a Portillo's Chopped Salad yesterday, and YES you did have chemo yesterday, and YES you normally fill up on junk so I thought a nice salad would balance things out. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! ha ha

Hope your day today is going great and your salad made you feel full of energy!

re: the quote I just posted....it should say:

Hootie Hoo! What a Ride! (Karen's saying)

Chemo Factory

Linda and I wanted to go through the"drive thru" for chemo yesterday but no go...Great nurses- Linda brought them her special Milky Way Rice Krispie treats. Even Nurse Ratchet stopped by and tried to be pleasant.... The nurses were really on top of things and it seemed to go a little quicker.

Had a great surprise during chemo- Lynn B stopped by with her homemade ham and cheese mini sandwiches (yum) and her "reserved for kids only Rolly Pollies"!!!! She even let Dr. Kash have one! He had already had a Jimmy John's but he was eyeing those sandwiches! Get this- Lynn got up really early- and baked. Wow what a friend!

Now get this one- Tia seemed to have a real hankering for a Portillo's Chopped Salad....I think she kinda, a little- used Linda and I as her reasoning....and picked up three salads and what a great dinner I had! With great friends like this- and all the ones bringing over meals- I am going to gain a lot of pounds. Won't be able wear the thong bikini in FL at the end of May.... (HA!)

I have a great quote to share with you.....I got it off an email at COD and just changed one thing.


Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "Woo Hoo!! What a ride!"<

I added the beer......

Hey HTFM!!

Just checking in to see how things are going and to let you know that you are in my thoughts....(Would have posted a comment this week but I had brain-fart and couldn't remember how to post! I just spent the last half hour trying everything!!

So glad to hear that your second opinion said you are on the right track! I hope that chemo went well today. And don't forget, if you need me to go with you sometime, give me a call!

Thinking about you

Hi, Helene,

I am not used to this blogging stuff! But here is my message to you and the people helping you. I am so glad to read that you have people close to you taking care of you. And while you are all working hard each day to be personally supportive daily in each other's lives, I want you to know there are a whole group of other people cheering on your posse and praying and waiting to step in should you grow tired of being strong for each other. My friends are always in my heart and you have been at the forefront of my thoughts lately. I hope to see you soon so we can catch up! I just haven't even caught up with myself yet! Love ya! - Teri

I feel Joy in my heart!!!

After reading your post and Linda's, I feel Joy in my heart!!! I am so glad you have your second opinion and can now feel better. It also makes me feel joyful for Denise, Linda and all the other friends who are taking great care of you, and supporting you!!! God Bless them all!!!
