Saturday Night And Nothing To Do

Or maybe I should say, don't want to go out with my new backpack full of nutrients. Every night around 6:00 I have Patti or Robbin hook me up to the IV drip. It will stay hooked up for 12 hours. The doctor started me on this because I am not able to eat or drink. I can't even take my pills by mouth. What I have discovered is that I sure took a lot for granted. When I have to depend on a bag of nutrients and someone to help mix it and hook it up, it brings me to reality!! This really is happening to me! I do and always will feel that God is my healer and I know He is working overtime on me this time. I have been through so much this trip and it has taken a toll on my body. Today is the first day I feel like I am beginning to heal. My throat is healing, my skin is feeling a little better and I'm getting some strength back. My voice is still cracky and if I talk to much my throat hurts more. I so badly want to call my grandkids!! I miss them so much!!! Robbin, Patti and I are packing tomorrow. We had to ship some of our things. My last radiation is Tuesday at 8:40 then straight to the airport. We will be home around 3:00. I can't wait! Our friends that are watching the home and dogs have been such a blessing in our lives. We don't even think about or worry about things there. Our thoughts are all here while I go through all the doctor appointments, blood tests and radiation treatments. So thank you Joe and Andres!! I hope our dogs will still know us when we get there. We left February 7 and will get home March 1st. 29 days!!!! Ok, maybe I shouldn't have counted the days. Now I'm wondering why I didn't get more sewing done. I did get some things done that I really wanted to finish. Once again, I want to thank everyone for all the thoughts, prayers, gifts, blog comments, cards and phone calls. All this helped me keep my spirits high. Love to all.
