New Years Eve!

 

Up and ready to ring in the New Year with my family. With chemotherapy treatments starting soon I know it won’t be an easy start to the New Year, but I hope when we are rounding up to the next New Year I can look back knowing I did the best I could. Jesus is in control.

Port placement day

 

All hooked up and ready to go.

I’m awake and out of surgery.

For anyone interested the round item is what they placed in me. It’s called a smart port power injectable port. I even get to wear a bracelet to let my Drs, nurses, and caregivers know exactly what kind I have.

I almost had a heart attack

 Someone thought it would be a nice joke to tell me my daughter was dead on the internet, which led us to have the police called to check on her, "but it wasn’t meant to hurt me". I just don’t understand people. I surely didn’t need the added stress. I go in for my port placement operation this morning. Anyways all the kids are alive but my heart went through quite the ordeal last night. Thank you to everyone who prayed for us and texted us.

Appointment with primary

 

I had my appointment with my primary care Dr. today. A lot of catching up, to say the least. Not counting the water weight I lost after leaving the hospital. I am down 36 lbs from my pre-op weight. Since I now have a pretty big phobia starting with eating food. Scared I will get another diverticulitis infection or cause my stomach or intestines not to work, he will also be keeping track of my weight loss as well. Weight loss is good for my body but not good for my health if I am losing because I am afraid to eat. I am so glad he understood. I am blessed with a Dr. who truly cares for my well-being.

Christmas Eve

I hadn't been on the last few days as I think I ate something wrong and it messed up my stomach and intestines, causing me back pain and vomiting. I am on the mend now and the little bit I ate is now staying down. I had a good Christmas Eve with my Son's family and even though I nibbled at the food earlier I was able to enjoy a stuffed mushroom a little while ago. So delicious. Tomorrow is our day with the girls. The girls are in the kitchen making deviled eggs and I think something else. Dennis will be preparing the food tomorrow. Merry Christmas Everyone. Cherish the time you have with family you never know what tomorrow will bring.
