This past weekend Joel went to Miami for a photography workshop; he returned energized and appeared to have a productive and fun experience. While he was gone, Mommy, Jacob, and Grandma played. I left Joshua out because unfortunately he was pretty fussy all weekend. He had drainage issue (probably due to allegeries) and cried quite [...]
It was nice to be home for Mother’s Day. The day didn’t start beautifully. Josh’s morning screams triggered a headache that required me to take an oxycontin and take a nap. Luckily, it worked and by 11AM I was feeling groggy but better. For my gift, Joel and the boys gave me stackable mother’s rings. [...]
This was another busy week of appointments. I had physical therapy on Monday and Thursday. On Tuesday, I attended the cancer support group meeting for the second month in a row at the Christ Fellowship Royal Palm campus. On Wed., I saw my primary doctor. She said I looked good. I talked to her about [...]
If you’ve ever seen Office Space, you know what “flare” is, but just in case, “flare” is basically decoration. For the movie, it was a collection of buttons that Jennifer Aniston’s character was required to wear as part of her uniform for her waitress job. It’s kinda cheesy, but fun if you like it. Since [...]
This passed weekend I had Jacob go through his stuffed animals with me. We made three piles: Jacob’s, Joshua’s, and donate. Jacob was actually pretty good, giving many of his stuffed animals to Joshua. Many were obviously for a baby while others surprised me. He definitely did not want to part with certain ones. I [...]
I’ve been working on special door signs for Jacob and Joshua’s rooms since my time in the Tampa apartment. I had hoped to finish them before leaving – nope. Then, I wanted to get them done by Easter – nope. But this last Friday, completion and I think they look great. They’re the most detailed [...]
It wasn’t that long ago that our beloved Whiskers sadly passed away, and now her “brother” (in spirit, not blood) has gone to join her. Tigger has had problems for a while. Shortly after I ended up in the hospital this passed June, Tigger had a life and death episode involving his bladder and urinary [...]
Photography has become a hobby for Joel, and he’s really gotten into it. I’m not talking about taking some pictures; I’m talking different lenses and lighting and framing and other stuff I know nothing about. Joel does a lot of nature and scenery photographs, but he had this idea to do a portrait session with [...]
Today I saw my oncologist, and I think it was a good visit. At the very least, I liked what he had to say. He thinks that my BMT doctor is micromanaging me and going into overkill with certain things. First, he does not think I should have the PET/CT follow-up for my previous oral [...]
I’m not really sure where to start because there’s so much since that has happened since I blogged on Tuesday. I guess I’ll just start and see where it leads. Hopefully, I’ll make sense and not go off on too many tangents. Wednesday I made tons of phone calls, and got some good test results. [...]
