TRYING TO RECOVER FROM CHEMO HIT!! MOE IS POSTING FOR JANE

and what a hit it has been! Hope everyone is feeling 'great this monday morning". i am posting for Jane as I know the importance of her blog for herself!! she doesn't know i am doing this.Last night when I called her to check on how she was doing,it was the "PITS" a lousy lowdown time-unable to type prior blog,couldn't sleep hardly any and feeling like the flu hitting u more than 100 times!! i could feel her hard time over the phone lines. it had been a long day-barry cooking his usual sunday meal-thanks-heading off to work,tim being away. i spent a long time on the phone with her working her through taking her pills etc as she definately has the chemo brain-did not remember the hard time few weeks ago with muscle strain etc--made sure she took her night time meds-actually made sure she did-at one point the ativan/relaxant bottle pill she could not even take the top off due to weakness but she finally was able to. told her to try and eat something-had some chicken in the oven-it was almost 9pm and then try and relax from meds taken cause barry would be home soon. well today should be a better day!!am asking for u bloggers to catch up with her as u have so many times before-to think this will be a weekly nasty time!! not sure if she will even check computer so a phone call might be better! thanks and adios moe

Aches

Do you know what good friends are for? Not needing to apologize for not being the hostess you could have been when you were feeling good. That's what friends are for. I was up until 3 a.m. taking what seems to have been my 3rd bath. My legs ache and jst not myself. Even as I am typing I have to go back adn fix what I've typ[ed. FIngers are not hitting the correct keys unless I stare at keyboard and type clowly. Must be chemo cloud. Not fun at all. Onlly good thing about today is I ddint' have to workl. And to think I have to do this weekely. It can only get better. Tired of fixng my typeos.

Love you Mary Lou. Thasnk for coming iwth your fried Lisa.

Another Relay for Life...

I didn't know how I would do today, but thanks to the support of my friends and the community at the college I made it without shedding a tear. You gave me strength.
I just came back from viewing the luminaries and I was so pleased by the numerous luminaries in my honor. My coworkers took sayings from my blog and had them written on the bag. My favorite was CANCER SUCKS. Geez, ain't that the truth. Even the regional representative from the Cancer Society mentioned this to me as I arrived this evening. He thought it was so nice, and I have to agree. No other bags were like mine. Thanks guys. You're the best.

The newspaper article will be printed and online Monday. Here's the site if you should like to read. I have not even seen the article, so am looking forward to what Barry said about us!

This is Mary Lou, my childhood friend who drove 10 plus hrs. to visit us. I've known her since I was under the age of 10. Love you, Mary Lou.

 

And don't you forget that. Even when I'm down, I won't be down for long.

 

We are Survivors!

 

Most of all our friends were there to join us as we ended our survivors lap. Thanks.

 

This is the area's first and smallest Relay for Life. And right with tradition, very windy and cool.

 
 

Terri talks to Barry and me. She's a survivor and also the person that recommended us to cut the ribbon. A special buddy.

 
 

The survivors lap is just that- for all ages.

 

Erica was the photographer from local paper. As we walked I filled her in on my thoughts.

 
 
 

I was blessed by so many angels today one of which was Patti. I was strenghtened by their support as always.

 
 
 
 

Pres. Williamson of the College and Barry watch as I shake in my pants to thank the community and cut the ribbon.

My childhood girlfriend arrives for Relay 4 Life

Mary Lou has arrived for my special day...All the way from Nantucket Island, Mass.

An angel appeared as I was just finishing my chemo. Lynn delivered me a bright bouquet of flowers. Her daughters are on the band trip this weekend.
