Whewie what a crazy couple of weeks...

Early Sunday AM Dave and I did our photo shoot with Heather......this was alot of fun and she took some awesome pictures for us so I can get busy framing them...

As you all well know after my "fifth" week of radiation I ended up in the hospital that Sunday evening.....that was an adventure....Holy Hell...

One I do not care to "embark" on anytime again....the long and short of it.....the radiation/chemotherapy finally caught up with my system and my body reacted which caused the hospitalization for fear of infection and some bleeding they needed to stop....naturally once again...my body reacted to all the meds they were trying to give me for various reasons.....apparently I had been heading to Mexico over the border for hours...(I do not recall any of this) and I had a visitor that I do not recall....I told her......one moment please...I will be right with you....I'm going to Mexico.....OMG...horrible....embarrassing to say the least. 

But I want to thank Arla and Shawn for the beautiful flowers

and the special gift to give me some Mexico treat.....

 

 Before being released I was informed they would no longer finish radiation or chemotherpy......and  being released three days later I had a rough few day's recovering....all's my body wanted to do was get rid of all the toxins that had been put into it.....I'm glad that's over.....I did not make it to work the week of my birthday.....I just rested and missed another trip to Mexico.....SAD PANDA I was.....

The week-end was filled with yard work and cleaning the house....I felt more myself and accomplished so much....even went to the first pool party of the season on Saturday

Sunday was Mother's day and it was wonderful to get with the kids and have breakfast at the Deer Valley airport.....beautiful flowers from the kids and a gift card.....YAY

This past week has been pretty uneventful.....just letting the treatment run it's coarse in flushing my system and working......preparing for another doctor's visit next week for a "physical exam"....yes it's that time for that lovely "rectal exam" to prepare for surgery.....which will be here before you know it....I'm glad as I want this "dead" tumor removed and get these two surgery's over with so I can fully get my life back completely and "flutter" around like a butterfly as Dave says....

Summary of my life with vester.....I still have some discomfort and I never know from one minute to the next how I will feel.....some skin irritation.....dry skin.....and continued pressure in the area of the tumor, which is the most annoying thing for me...other than that.....I'm good....each day seems to change.....someone asked me how much better do I feel now.....and I said....well....in the beginning it felt like a I had a "basketball" up my ass....then it went to the size of someone's "fist"......then to a "golf ball"......now...it feels like a "pencil".....she laughed...radiation shrunk the tumor and killed it....now I need the cleansing of that to run it's coarse....it's kinda like a "withdrawl" effect from radiation and chemotherpy......I know that sounds odd...but that's what it is....

My blogging probably will be slow until surgery...which will be between July 1-15th.....back to  facebooking all my many projects I manage to have going at one time......ha.....AND sharing all my finds from the Goodwill.....thank goodness because I have had "withdraw" for month's now.....teeeheee
