it's new year's eve - and so far so good!
maybe the 3rd day is a charm?
by this time yesterday, i was already pretty queasy & i had only tried 2 eat a lil oatmeal & coffee....curtis got up & made b'fast 2day & i ate 2 eggs & toast with jelly....and so far, no queasiness yet!
i've gotten into the habit of waking up & immediately taking my meds with a few crackers (have to take with food) & a huge glass of water (the med to prevent gout/kidney stones requires i drink 10 glasses a day! & that's not supposed 2 make u nauseaus?!)....then, by the time i'm ready to eat a lil something later in the morn, i think the nausea meds have started working
here's hoping to only 2 days of sickies (or less) each time i have chemo - i can totally deal with that....i'm hearing that 2day or 2moro may b my down day....where the fatigue will really kick in, but we'll see - i can take fatigue over puking any day! i'm home all day with the kiddos 2day too (curtis leaves for work at 2pm, but hoping to slip home just in time 4 the ball 2 drop) & 2moro, the whole fam is home for the day! :0) so i get 2 take it easy
i didn't even think 2 check - the nodes on my neck have just kinda become a part of me - my lil alien head ~lol~ & i 4get about em....but last night, curtis asked me if i noticed a differnce in them - & sure enuff, they're less than half the size they were!!! so i know the chemo is definitely doing it's job (& then some, right?!)!
we wish u all a very happy new year! here's to 2009 - may it b filled with lots of love, fam, blessings, thankfulness & healing!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Wishing you a year of health and happiness!
I'm so relieved to hear so much improvement already in both symptoms AND conditions! WOW! Kiddos are adorable as always, in fact almost as adorable in pictures as they are in video ;)
Happy New Year! Your card with those pic is on our fridge. Love 'em. So glad to hear you are feeling better. Too bad Mark was not so lucky in the quesy and sick dept. He only had 2 drinks! He's a cheap date now, LOL. Don't think he'll be drinking any time soon.
What great news you are seeing an improvement already. I hope new years eve 2009 will see you in remission!
Happy New Year!
I absolutely love those three last pics of the kiddos. I feel like I know them after reading your blog this past year. :) HAPPY NEW YEAR!
