Tuesday/Wednesday

Tuesday was turning out to be a good day. I had vowed

on Monday not to do work the next day. Rich even

made Monday's dinner.

At about 2 PM on Tuesday..I made iced tea, grabbed my current read

and went to the deck to do some reading. I reached to get my book

off the patio table after I'd gotten situtuated. My hand looked

a mile away. Things got a weird aura around them. I spoke out loud

to myself trying to figure what was going on.

I can't believe the gibberish I heard myself speaking. I was aware I was

thinking right, but not saying real words..and couldn't make a sentence.

I came in the house and hit the caller ID on our phone to get Rich.

He said ..if there was no caller ID on his cell he would never known

who it was . He kept asking me what was going on..I tried to respond

but the gibberish kept coming. He finally said to me he was calling

the ambulance. He was towns away.

I then called Nicole, my oldest daughter ..she YELLED at me. Thought I

was fooling around. I couldn't talk righ but finally told her Rich

called 911. She came right over, stayed with me until ambulance , fire and police

arrived.

Long story short here , I was in the ER Triage from 3 PM to 1 AM

did blood tests, MRI and decide it was a T I A, mini stroke ..that comes, goes, and

heals itself.

So for now..a baby aspirin to thin my blood a bit,(doc says cancer and treatment can thicken your blood) & anti seizure med every day,

see a neurologist..my neosurgeon and my primary care doctor and my oncologist.

If anything like this happens again, I must get to the ER

stat.

Oh what a night!

Slept in today then my BFF brought lunch and I went to bed about 3 hours and

Rich came home. My head doesn't even hurt today.. Thank you God.

Changes

Yesterday was a big day for our family.

My oldest daughter Nicole, was finally granted the

divorce she'd been seeking for three years.

I am not an advocate for divorce, but this

one was necessary. I do have two great

grandsons. Nicole and her boys are

moving today . They had been living

in a nice rental home, but the owner's

dad will be moving in..thus a new home was

needed.

My youngest daughter, Mercedes moved back home. Her

room mates parted when the lease was up. She decided after

three years of being on her own, she'd come back home for

awhile. We are going to explore further education & at

this time, Nursing sounds good. They are needed &

there will be a job for her when she's finished classes.

Mercedes has a sweet black cat Remy, who is pregnant, so we will have

kitties soon. I'm excited and Rich is being a good sport about the cats.

My fat cat, Mya is still pouting about sharing us with another

cat, but they seem to be adjusting.

Anyone have any advice on the birthing of kittens??

Not sure when she got pregnant..but had to be no sooner

than the first of 2010.

All this in one day...plus Spring is COMING.

Much to be thankful for.

My next MRI and Pet CT will be the first week of April.

Rich & I both have April birthdays. It is so hard to

believe I'll be 55 this year.. OMG I'm only 16 in my head.!!!

Hope you like the pictures today. I'll keep you up to date on the

arrival of the kitties. Let me know any hints you know about

birthing and how to know how close the birth is.

My daffodils are coming up fast

Mya and Remy

Remy wants to play

Remy's sweet little belly. She has that one spot of white fur.

She's as black as night and her fur is shiny~~

Remy

My fat cat, Mya

love to you all

It's Beginning to Look

alot like Spring . I noticed these tulips (& many more) yesterday.

They are in the front yard, so they will be deer food eventually.

I Am Thanking Our Lord

I awoke early today, the sun is shining, the snow is melting, the birds are

singing and I got the mail without a coat.YES, Spring IS coming.

I have a great atittude & feel good FINALLY. I think my honey hunk has

been quite concerned about my frame of mind. He'll be glad to see

my bright face again today. I'm no Super Woman, but I am most always happy.

I need to shake this feeling that I'm waiting to start my life again

without cancer. I must accept..I may have to live my life WITH cancer and just let God handle it. I have been hovering in the

"soon I'll be well" state for too long. I have much to do in this life yet.

I didn't go anywhere last week until Sunday when my BFF Marcia

came to get me. We had lunch at Panera's and then checked

out a new store here from the window. Closed on Sundays, we

knew that in advance.

Marcia & I came back to my house for iced tea, cookies & some chocolate.

I talked a lot, she listened, then she talked & I listened. It is

great to have her home. She'll be gone for a week to Arizona soon

but I can handle ONE week.

Thank you Lord for all the blessings you have given me.

My totally wonderful grown children, my "rockin" grandsons, a one in a million

awesome husband, the bestest BFF ever, our lovely home in the Singing Woods

Lord thanks for cancer as it has made me kinder and gentler & brought

many great friends to me.

it is well with my soul
