I Now Have 4 Grandkids!

So i recieved a surprise phone call on New Years Day! Jason said he was taking Sarah to the hospital to have their baby. About a week early. Anyways...I went up that night after work in time to be there during the birth. Pretty cool. You are amazing Sarah!

So I have had 31/2 weeks of radiation. I have been really tired and sleeping lots. I have been having a lot of pain in my feet and joints. I was diagnosed with neuropathy several months ago. When I complained to the dr about the pain I told him I needed something stronger than vicadin so he gave me morophin. anyways...long story short the next week I complained again and he said he gave me amitriptlin 6 months ago for nerapathy and I refused it cuz the side effects on the label were scary. So i decided to try it for a week...NOW>>> After a week I complained again it wasnt working and demanded that he look at my feet. He referred me to a podiatrist who said I have bunions caused from my shoes being to tight. My shoes are to tight cuz I have plantar fasiatics which is caused from being overweight and on my feet excessively. My arches are falling and causing my feet to spred. He gave me a shot of cortisone in each feet and I have RELIEF!!! at last if only temporary. So i am back to my original theory that DRs have a license to "PRACTICE" medicine. and I am getting old.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

So I had another birthday! Pretty funny thing happened. I go to lunch with a group of gals every month. It started out as my bosom buddies group to remind us to check monthly for breast cancer. some of us went for our first mammogram together. Janet called to tell me we were having lunch at her house this month. I was sure it was a little surprise party for ME!! Wow someone actually remembered. But it was an accident/coincidence that it was on my birthday. (Thanks Kris for remembering!!) Pretty humorous really. that evening we went to Joes Crab Shack for dinner. Madison my 8 year old neice celebrated with us. Her birthday is the day before mine so yea...we are 41 years apart. As well as Sarah and my dad. January birthday party But me and maddi picked the place. Awe..birthdays are so overrated. I think I will plan a big party for myself next year. It has been 30 some years since I had a real party!

Cancer treatment is coming along., I started Radiation Dec 31. It take me longer to drive there that treatment. Makes me really tired tho. I have been sleeping 10-12 hours nightly so dont call before 9 am! I have finished my 1st round of chemo. Radiation last 6 weeks for 5 days a week. Chemo in the second round is 6 months every 3 weeks. I am using Herceptin and Nulastin. Not sure of the spelling. These are not near as harsh as the 4 I was taking. I guess you are surprised I had a second round. Well...I didnt tell anyone cuz I was gonna quit and I didnt want a bunch of crap...but I decided to stay the course. So here i am.
