She lives....


Oh man, I thought I was a goner there for awhile! I can't tell you how good it feels to feel good again! I wasn't sure if I was ever going to feel good again. I sure was one cranky, miserable, angry, whiney, irritable, mopey, witchy woman for awhile there! I apologize to everyone who came across my path in the last few days. My poor mom, hubby, kids and pets. I was not myself and I am sorry. Thank you for being patient with me and standing by me. I know I wasn't that bad even during childbirth.

Today I woke up not feeling so hot, but hubby popped me full of 2 vicadin and I went back to sleep. When I awoke around 11ish, all was well with the world again. I had energy. The nausea was gone. The pain. The agony. The uncomfortableness. Not completely gone, but moving in that direction. Only a fogginess remained. It snowed today. I took the dog for a walk. I played fetch with the dog. I vaccuumed. I did laundry. I cooked dinner. I did the dishes. Emptied the dishwasher. I tidied up. I helped my son with his homework and a bunch of projects. I helped my daughter make a gameboard. I had my hubby put the lights on our tree and set up our new solar lights up on our walkway. I rearranged my family room. LOL I even rearranged part of the garage and swept the leaves out! Oh, and I cleaned out my car! Can I tell you how good it feels to do those things? I loved it! It was one of those days that I didn't complain about them one bit! I even cleaned both my kids rooms - tidying, dusting and vaccuuming! Happily!!!! I paid bills. It was a good day. I want more days like that. It's nice to know that after the darkness comes light, eventually. I really wasn't sure for awhile. Oh to feel alive and normal again. Bliss.

Shauna - You are an amazing woman and you have such a supportive family. I look forward to walking the survivor lap with you this year at relay. You can beat this too! Love Jill

Shauna: I couldn't read your blog yesterday since we weren't home. Sorry to hear you had a rough couple of days. I bet you will feel great now until after your next treatment, which won't be for a while. I think if you only have a couple of tough days, you are going to do fine with your chemo. Can you imagine being sick the entire time?! I am anxious to hear about your wig. Hope you found one you really like. Hang in there. You are doing awesome. I am so proud of you. I am glad you are my friend. Love, JO
