We got back home the 31st around 9pm and the bed was so comfy!!!! The next morning Robbin got up at 3:30 to get his mom to the hospital for her surgery. Needless to say he was exhausted!! Her surgery went well and was very short. The doctor let her come home that afternoon so Robbin brought her to our home so she could recover here. I'm telling you, I think Robbin is a saint!! I just don't know how he is doing all this. God is certainly on his side!!
I had a great report on Thursday from my radiologist and gastro doctors. They both told me I was healing fast and that I should be back to myself soon. The only reason to go back is to receive my Zometa. This is the bone healer med that goes through the port. My doctor told me to have that every 6 weeks now. Yeah!!! No more once a month trips!! I am still having problems with my port tho. If I can wait until then they will do a dye study to see if there is a leakage. They did an ultra sound and found no blockages so they are sure the pain is coming from the leakage. I've had this port for almost 4 years. They say this is a long time....most need replaced in 2-3 years. At this point I am still taking it easy and healing from all the radiation and zometa. My oncology doctor has started me on a chemo pill Xeloda that I will take 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening for one week, off a week and then the same for a week. I will do this for as long as my body will tolerate them. There are a few side effects but I'm praying they won't effect me. When we arrived at home I was having bad muscle cramps from the Zometa. These lasted the entire day and I slept most of that day. Today I'm feeling much better but still don't have much energy. So I'm resting again. The weather is making me want to get outside and water the flowers coming up. 75-80 today!! Maybe a chair and a good book!!??!!
We have met some great friends in Kenosha and always plan some kind of fun with them while we are there. I have a family away from home! God puts people in your lives for a reason and this one is sure evident!!!! Thanks to my Kenosha family!!
Please keep Robbin and Marian in your prayers as she is healing and Robbin keeps his patients!!!
