tick tock

Hello dear friends...today I am trying really hard to stay busy and focused.  I beleive this is the first day I have actually been at home byself.  The last few weeks were dealing with post surgery, Katie's kidney stone, then everyone out of school and home for the holidays, going somewhere..etc.  So today everyone is back at school to work.  I was told not to just sit and watch TV.  I was told to get myself into a routine everyday.  So far..I got up with Glenn, had my delish coffee, wateched a little FOX, had poptarts, packed Glenn's lunch...saw him off and took a shower.  I did have a littel surprise waiting me on the theps outside this morning..a dear friend had dropped off some cupcakes and a card for me!  How sweet is that?  Thank you Casey.

My darn arm and chest are still sore from that alien that was put in.  I need to name that...oh I think from this point on I will be referring to my cancer as "Chuck"..thanks Myrene.  I am whiney today.  My throat is still sore..I think they scratched it when I had surgery with that thing they put down your throat so you can breathe.   I have this chronic right sided sinus thing that always bothers me,  every morning I am waking up about 3a.m.  wide awake.  boo hoo!!!

So everyone is back to their normal routines it seems..I only wish I had a normal one to get back too.  Nothing will be normal for me for about 7 months.  I am anxious to see what my normal will really be like..I know it will involve an infusion of toxic medication thru this alien I have every 3 weeks...I am sure I will be expelling all those toxins afterwards..Glenn is so prepared..he is getting me a special bucket this week!!!  how exciting..I hope he can find a pink one...pink has always been my favorite color. 

So today I find myself thinking more and more about what is really happening.  Everything has been so busy the past few weeks I really don't think I have had a chance to come to grips with Chuck(remember my cancer)The clock is ticking, My time is getting closer to the start of my normal.  I think I have had enough of a pity party for one day.  I know  buck up!    Think I will go have a cupcake!

Everyone have a great day!  Love Mel

  1. I posted the "BBC" post before I read that it's named Chuck, which, by the way, is one of my and Kelly's favorite TV shows. Just a little FYI since we rarely get to talk much at church, we need to adjust that after all this is a "Wow I made it" remembrance, don't you think? Love You, Our Bad Boob Friend, Kerry
