Just want you all to know
my fever is gone, I feel a bit
better, but I'm going to be in
bed all day.
I had to
reschedule my appointment (a 3 month follow up)
with Dr. Mammolito, my Breast Cancer Surgeon.
I just can't go out.
My Joys Today
a white blood count of 29,900
eating TWO pieces of toast with REAL butter & strawberry jam
being able to take all my meds
clean bed linens
a new satin pillowcase
being able to post on my blog
how awesome it is that I don't work outside the home
warmer temps, with signs of Spring popping up outside the window
feeling good enough to watch TV
hubby was able to go back to work today
my son, Steve, calling to say, "you're cute mom & I love you"
my youngest daughter, Mercedes calling because she's doing her OWN taxes
my oldest daughter, Nicole calling and talking to my grandson Cole
Please share you joys too
I'll be resting up, I'll not be able to visit for a while, but I'll be thinking & praying
fondly, Deena

Deena, happy to hear your fever is down. Rest my dear friend. If I had a white cell count in my body I would be in the hospital right now, but I know that you need it to fight, where as mine would be a sign of an infection.
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking of you while you rest and praying for you.
"Let go and Let God. Go unto Him and He will give you rest. Love and Hugs, Pat

2. painting my youngest toenails
3. Taking my dog out for a walk, sun shining and seeing the ducks out on the lake.

ReplyDeleteDeena, I come every day to check on you, and I always pray for you, night and day! My joys today? YOU! You are such an inspiration to me, and I thank God for that. Do you have any idea as to how many lives you have changed here? Mine has! Some people come into our lives and quickly go, and we hardly notice or remember. Others (like you, Deena) come into our lives, trample on our hearts, leaving forever footprints there, and we are never the same again!
ReplyDeleteLove you! Cora

What a wonderful outlook you have on life, you must be one very strong lady!! You're in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to visiting you often.

You are an inspiration. Please know I know what you are going thru somewhat having been diagnosed with Leukemia. Just finished 7 treatment of expected 8.
ReplyDeleteDr. said I was ok...I am still fatiqued, take GammaGard (a 10 hr ordeal in hospital one x a month) which helps in the energy level. No, no one has the same experience but all relate somewhat to your tiredness, "just as soon stay in bed" that we all feel. Hang in there Deena. I am not a blogger YET but love to read yourS AND others thanks to my special friend, bj --sweet nothings. She is a lovely hoot.
