Well, I got a great story from a friend who served up some ice cream to her family and found out the next day that she had put it away in the microwave. Well, that made my day.
Had a good day Friday - the treatment goes so fast - just a blip in the day. Spent the morning with Leah, sorting out some car repairs, then shopping - Ate at her work at Bob Evans for lunch with her and Gene. Ah, life is filled with such simple pleasures - spending time with loved ones. Fun. We had a fire in the fireplace Sunday and spent the day computing together. We take the simplest and sweetest things for granted. This makes you pay attention.
We put in a new garage door opener on Saturday - Feels very uptown to park in the actual garage! Of course, in keeping with American values, the other half is filled with junk.
2/27/08 is my first Chemo meeting at 2pm and until then I wouldn't really know what we have planned - That is also my last day at radiation. I think it is going to be an oral regime but I may have to have a port shunt inserted. Hard to say at this juncture.
My sisters, Andrea, Barb, and BIL, Albert are going to visit around March 28 to 30. That is the end of the spring break for Ryan, so there will be some overlap which is cool.
So, Mondays are review days with the doctor - starting to reduce, gradually, the steroids. The insulin shots seem to have gotten the blood sugar under control. I feel good. Here are some pictures of the mask and machines.

Hey Lori, I'm Alex's wife. I enjoy reading your updates. Your upbeat attitude is so encouraging to me! How can I get upset about the load of laundry that I haven't finished when you have such a great attitude about your trials :)
We are praying for total healing for you, peace for your household, and strength and encouragement for your whole family! (((HUGS)))
Dearest Lori,
Just wanted you to know that all of us here at the Non-Traditional Student Lounge are pulling for you. Lots of prayers are being sent upstairs for you. We miss you and can't wait to see your smiling face back here.
xoxo Brandy
