So, I have my boxing gloves on this round. No smiling, I'm all business! The Red Devil did beat me the first two rounds, but now we have some serious plans. The doctors have changed some of my medicine and added more powerful stuff to help me fight off all the nausea and dizziness. They also told me I had to come back to the cancer center on Saturday to get two hours of fluids pumped back into me to help with dehydration. Everyone seems confident that this will help, and if it doesn't, well, I just call and we keep trying. I might have to go in Monday as well for more fluids, but that's on the back burner. I'm going for a 500 record at this point. I just don't want to downright lose, too competitive for that! :)
I'm starting to become friends with a lot of the nurses at the center. They stop by my room and chat with me and we plan the party I'm going to have for the Susan G. Koman walk in August. Man, I thought my job was hard! These oncology nurses rock! But, as for my party, write down August 14th! My plan is to do the 1 mile walk with anyone and everyone willing to come out. Then, since the walk is at Crown Center, I'll have an after party at my house. I'm thinking I'll provide beer and juice! (Juice for the kids and for me, beer for the rest of you:) And, of course, something to nibble on. I know this is far away, but mark the date because I promise a good time for a good cause. I'll really be sending out the open invites down the road. All ages are welcomed and encouraged! I'll be making sure my family and nieces are there and walking next to me! I'm hoping to get a big team together, so plan on going! :) (Not to mention the walk will fall right before my last chemotherapy session, so I'll be in celebration mode)
But, as for now, I gotta sign off and put these gloves on. I feel the devil sneaking up behind me and I have to be ready!
Any help I can give to coordinate your team, please let me know. I "kind of" know the ins and outs as a former Teams Chair (2x) and Race Operations Chair (2x) for the GKC RFTC. ;-) I am happy to take that burden off of you, as it can be a lot of work to be a team captain. Let me know!
ReplyDeleteI surfed my way to your booby blogspot out of curiosity, and to make fun of you. But instead of made-for-mocking musings,I find thoughtful observations and a celebration of life and love. Great photos, also (my English-mangling nod to SP, she who must not be named).
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing is an update on the Mother of Tumzilla and how she deserted you. I swear, brain tumors make people do the darndest things. . . Jonah says hello. Or hola. Or "Bend it like Beckham!"
