Mom Childs

Supper tonight smelled so good...and Jeremiah LOVED it!  Sharon Childs (Jessie's Mom) brought ziti, brownies, garlic bread, and sweet tea.  I was able to eat a little bit of the bread...and watch Jeremiah eat the brownies with vanilla ice cream and caramel on top.  (insert pouty face hear)  All of this wonderful food and I'm too sick to eat it.  Everyone who has gone out of their way to provide a meal has taken so much stress off of me.  I'm use to being the one taking care of others.  It's so hard for me to lie on the couch while others cook, clean the house, and run my errands.  It lightens the stress I am putting on myself to make sure those who are taking care of me at least have a hot meal while here.  

Sharon, you have know idea how much you mean to me.  Jessie and Kelly are so blessed to have you as their mom.

You left an impression on me

I've been sleeping a lot at work lately.  Hmmmm.....wonder why?  We were cracking up at the marks left on my face by the pillow.  Notice the Gatorade and crescent rolls in the back ground?  That's the only thing I can tolerate eating and drinking, and the only thing I am able to keep down.  Thank you Donna (behind me) for stocking me up on the Gatorade!

Jail Break

I needed to get a few items from the grocery store, but there is no way I can go by myself.  My neighbor, Monique, and her daughters picked me up for a short outing at Kroger.  I'm getting cabin fever from lying around all the time but don't have the energy to stand up.  I had a short list of items to get.  I hung onto the grocery cart as much as I could to keep from passing out.  We say another one of our neighbors as well, Jennifer Gilmore.  She always has a smile on her face.  Thanks for taking pity on my Monique and breaking me out of the house for 30 minutes.  Love ya!

I love the David's Flowers Staff!

Remember in a couple of posts back, I mentioned how sweet the staff at David's Flowers are.  I went in to work today, and there was a beautifully wrapped present for me.  They bought me the most comfortable pair of pajamas!  They knew that at this point all I want is a little bit of peaceful rest.  It's so hard having clothes touch your body or lie on one side of your body for even a short period of time.  Thank you so much!

Lazy Day

I am feeling so bad today.  I can't muster the strength to get dressed, much less go to work.  Look who's keeping me company.

Sucking the life out of me

The adriamycin has sucked the life out of my body.  I can't even begin to find the words for just how bad I feel.  Yes, you see me with a smile on my face and I seem very perky.  This is all a ploy to convince my mind that I am over coming the horrible effects of my chemo (adriamycin).  My blood pressure is extremely low, my heart rate in the 140s, and I have the worst head aches.  I'm so glad I only have two more chemo treatments to go.  Hallelujah!

Kelly, you are amazing

My friend and one of my Bible Study ladies (Kelly Bridges) made supper for us tonight.  I should mention she's having surgery tomorrow.  She is super woman!  Little did she know that she made one of my all time favorite desserts/breakfast meal/snack...monkey bread!  Thank you very much, Kelly.  We are praying that the surgery goes well and you will hopefully have some answers.  Love ya girl!
