Monday, June 1, 2009

Is it ever going to quit raining? So glad I got my yard done yesterday. Lydia mowed the front and I did the back after my appointment and a nap. Tony came early to help me but I was already finished. Flower gardens need the moisture but then the weeds are just going to grow thicker and faster.

Dr. Honeycutt was very pleased with all my blood counts and how well I am doing. She complimented me on my positive attitude and moving forward. I have gained 9 pounds and she suggested I try and be more careful with what I eat. It is hard because the week of and the week after chemo they want you to eat something every two hours.

Today went well except it was very long.....Barb brought me Jimmy John's for lunch so it was great to visit with her. I did not get finished until after 3:30 and home by 4. I am very tired so will crash early. Paula will be visiting tomorrow around lunch time. I usually nap around 1PM. Only two more and I will be half way. God is good.He fills me with peace and joy in Him. I thank Him for all of you and the gifts your thoughts and prayers are.

  1. Colette - it's so good to hear the good progress you're making toward the mid-point of your treatments and wonderful to read about all the good people who care so much about you and are there to help.

    Dean and I are currently in St. Charles, on vacation riding the Katy Trail. Since we're in Missouri and so close, we'd love to come and see you for a bit, but know that you tire easily and are still in the middle of your treatments. If you think it might work out, please drop me a note to my email (maggie-jesse@uiowa.edu) or you can call me at 319-331-9652. I don't want you to make any special arrangements or worry about it in any way - so if it doesn't work out, just let me know - that' ok, too. The most important thing is that you're getting your rest!! Love - Maggie
