Hey do you remember way back when, when my blog was somewhat interesting? When I posted about social issues, or commented on news stories, or even just lighthearted family crap? And pictures? Yeah, me neither.
T, I hope you don't think I am ungrateful for your visit because I haven't blogged about it yet. I just haven't really been in the mood to post lately. Your visit was like a breath of fresh air, and I really appreciated everything you did while you were here. The kids loved having you and they miss you so much, especially babygirl. I'm sorry for all the drama at the vets. Thank God you were there for me though. I really love you.
I've decided to take convalescent leave for the rest of my chemo treatments, about 6 weeks. Luckily the Air Force is being really great about it. I just hope I'll be able to get back into the swing of things when the time comes. I feel like I've been a civilian for the last several months. I can count on 2 hands how many times I've actually worked.
I can't wait to get back in school. I feel like I'm wasting a lot of time. I've been out of school for almost a year now. I was so hoping to graduate this year, but I still have 11 classes to go. But hell, it's been about 8 years, what's another 2?
In about 8 weeks, all of the chemo drugs should be out of my system. Hopefully that will mean that my appetite will return and my blood pressure will go back to normal. It has been so low that I get lightheaded every time I stand up. I need to gain about 20 lbs, and I really need to get back in shape. My muscles are like jello right now. I do flexibility exercises, but I can't do cardio without wanting to pass out from low blood pressure. Soon I'll be back to normal. Hopefully my hair will grow back fast.
It was sad to hear about Farrah and MJ dying this week. I think I was more sad for Farrah, because of the cancer and the chemo she had to go through. I guess I could relate a little, though she was so much sicker than I am. I guess I feel like MJ had been circling the drain for a long time, it was just a matter of when. He was a talented man, but so disturbed I felt sorry for him. I can't imagine the inner turmoil he must have had to alter his appearance so drastically over and over again. I liked him back in his prime, when I was a kid. Obviously I outgrew him, as did most people I think. He became like the Howard Hughes of music. Sad.
Anyways, have a good weekend, and I'll try to post again soon. Ciou!

I'm glad you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with the chemo. I'm sure once it's out of your system, you'll feel like your old self. And then, I'm sure you'll post like a fiend! :) Until then, take it easy.
Good to see you posting again. Your public demands more posts!! ;)
Seriously tho, good to know you are almost to the end of your treatment, and that you are looking ahead and not letting this whole mess beat you. Chin up, Kuhl-li-o!
OK, Fingercuffs, not too many people would call me that, so I have to ask! Who are you? Thanks for the encouragement Fingercuffs and CMGD.
Just ask your sister....she'll know. I'm nobody important anyways. Just someone who's pulling for ya, thats all.
I'm so glad you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and happy to hear you are taking care of yourself and taking the next 6 weeks. Good for you!! I LOVED being there with all of you - wish it could have been under different cirumstances but at least I got to spend a week with you guys. I miss all of you and I hope the kids don't think of me as Aunt Chore instead of Aunt T. :) Wish I could have done more. Tell the kids (oh yeah and my brother) I love them and take care! Tell babygirl I miss our time together too and I can't wait to see her again and introduce her to my girls. Keep your chin up and keep the posts coming. LOVE YOU! T
It's good to hear from you again! I hope the next 8 weeks fly by, and that the chemo drugs work their way out of your system too. I've been sending good thoughts your way!
T-I can't wait to meet your girls! It's been so long since I've seen your oldest it's like I don't know her. We all love you so much!
Blue-You always make me smile, thanks for the encouragement and the good thoughts, I'll take all I can get!
Fingercuffs-come on now, everyone is important, especially MY readers. And if you are important in the world of my sister, you are important to me. Thanks for reading and for the nice comments. BTW, my sister has no idea who you are, or maybe she just won't tell me!
Glad to see there are only six weeks left. Such a short goal, in the grand scheme of things. Hurray!
