Hope 4 Helene


But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Cancer sucks

Sundays are definitely when the poison hits me the worst.....just yucky feeling all day and tired. Shouldn't be complaining- at least I don't have to cook tonight. Linda Sue is bringing over homemade pulled pork! Tyler will devour this I am sure.

What would I do without Linda? She goes to appts. with me, calls to make sure I am still among the living and now dinner for tonight! She got the chef genes in the family- as she is the cook and takes after our Dad.

Keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming.

Party girl!!!

You party girl you!!! Sounds like you had quite the feed bag!!! The blood person is called a vampire!!!

Glad to hear Nurse Ratchet is gone!!! From now on...nice nurses only!!!

Still can't believe you are blogging....I think it should be HTBFM!!! Blogging!!! So good to know what is happening!


Take care!!!
Chemo day...I have a great phelbotimist (spelling ?) or blood taker-Michelle- and I talked to her about Nurse Ratchett. I was suppose to have Nurse Ratchett who I found out NO ONE likes. Michelle worked some magic and I got a really sweet nurse Jamie. Linda took me and Rob came for a while since he had a half day. And I fell asleep- what a party animal! Linda was whoopin' me at Boggle anyway. We both packed so much food today! Cheese and carmel popcorn that Tom bought, jelly beans, cookies, crackers, pita chips ......and I complain about gaining weight.....haven't been to the gym in a month. My senior "boyfriends" are probably missing me.

Still can't believe I am a blogger. Thanks again to EVERYONE who has sent cards, emails, called and helped out. It is going to take ALOT to kick this cancer in the ass.

Tomorrow...

Hope that chemo goes well tomorrow! I will be sending warm thoughts your way!

I hope you are not as cranky as Miss Daisy was!!! If so, you may be thumbing it to chemo! Ha!!!

Sounds like you are acquiring a cool pink wardrobe!!!

Sleep well my friend!

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Can't believe I Am blogging- I don't even do Facebook! Had a good day today- my nose bleeds stopped- only to start up again tomorrow when I go for more chemo.....but then after tomorrow- Fri. I am off Chemo the following week!

Linda is "Driving Miss Daisy" once again taking me to chemo. She is now the b/c fashionista and is finding all kinds of t-shirts & sweatshirts. I ordered the "Save the TaTa's" sweatshirt and it came today. With this nasty cold weather- I will need it! Tom- my bro-in-law is taking off work tomorrow to be with Kaleigh and Sam so Linda can take me to chemo. The meds they give me make me very drowsy- and I don't even remember driving home. Hope I don't get Nurse Ratchett again- Linda might punch her out!

Bertha for my wigs' name?????Are you mad at me?

And Gladys is not old fashion???

I love that Helene and her friends are posting! I feel so into the future!!! I sent out emails to everyone you sent the blog link to...so they can all post-if they can figure it out!!!

Glad to know you are feeling better! I am sending warm wishes your way everyday!!!

Keep us informed!!!

Jeremiah 17:7
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.
Hey all!

I need help in naming my new cranial prothesis (wig).....Gladys is my old wig and she is kinda worn out....plus she was a PITA because the wig is human hair and alot of work. So Denise and I went shopping and found a new wig- which is on order. She is short and sassy and synthetic- easy to style. Any ideas? I thought of Bernice- but Denise thinks it is too old fashioned.
I still have my own hair....for now.

Finally feeling better today- went to work and I still have some energy left! I received some beautiful flowers from Papa Joe and Grandma Rose who live in Michigan. Joe and Rose are Thom Schmidt's parents and they kinda adopted Tyler as a grandson.

Looking forward to spending the day with Tyler who is back from DC. Hoping we can go to a movie and out to lunch tomorrow (Th). The Friday is THFM Day.

- Tia's interpretation is "Hate The F.....g Meds!

Julie was able to make a posting....how did she do this? I would love to hear from others.
