Labor Day Weekend

Hope everyone's having a safe weekend. We went to visit with friends in Louisiana.. just got home today. Sunday. Love visiting.. Little tired from the trip.. but no different than anyone would be.
As you can see to the right.. They emailed me pics of Darby. He's so funny.. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to put smiles on peoples face. Don't ya think? I'm so excited.
You guys stay safe. I'll be in touch soon. Love ya. Debbie

Thank You

Thank you for your comments on my good news. Gotta tell ya, it's got me a little emotional right now. Doc did say my hormones are probably screwed up too... I'm very happy but crying.. Happy cry? probably.. thanks for reading and commenting. Love you guys.

Whew...

Good reports at the Dr. !!! CT scan good.. some abnormal tissue but he thinks thats due to radiation.. No treatments or Dr. appts. for 2 months. I'm feeling good about it all.. I think 2 months is a good time frame. Curt and had already discusses we wouldn't go 3 months without a check up because of how fast this can grow. I'm not going to say that deep down I'm always nervous it could pop up.. but it's not enough to take over my enthusiasm to be here and living to the fullest each day. I thank you sooo much for your prayers and concerns and sorry to have kept you in suspense all day. I'd love to go celebrate tonight but I think cuz of the nerves and now the relief... I'll actually sleep good tonight. :-)

Rock A Bye Baby - Thur a.m.

Someone please sing me to sleep.. eyes are wide open.. hot flashes.. in and out of the covers.. up and down out of bed.. drink of water.. nothing left to do but come write to my bloggers.. :-) I took my Ambien.. waiting to see if it'll kick in.. I'm like a kid the night before school starts.. whatever the results today.. I'll get through it, not just because I'm strong but I got my prayer warriors too :-).. think I'm more anxious for the appt. than anything.. I mean if the CT scan showed something I'm sure I'd have already heard from them. I don't know if it's that... or wanting to know what his next plan of action is for treatment.. whatever gods plan is...... I'll be all over it like a spider monkey.. (well.. is that even appropriate to say in the same sentence?) it made me chuckle.. bet your smiling too.. K, I'm good for now.. I hope to get back to you guys this afternoon.. Dr. appt. is at 12 noon.. so it will probably be this evening.. Thanks for listening. Love Deb

Awesome Day

Tuesday.. I had a day to myself.. and spent every minute of it running the roads.. went by all the Van schools.. signed up to Sub.. visited with many of the teachers I worked with last year.. good adult conversation.. :-) .. Our new Sonic opened today.. I'm sooo excited.. went in, met the managers and truly "hung out" with them.. made a new good friend from there.. but she lives 2 hours away.. visited with a girl at the bank today who wants to quit her job so she can spend more time with her baby girl.. had cheer practice with my girls. So much interaction with people I can hardly stand it. This is me.. this is what i'm about.. so how can I make this work.. with Chey starting school.. I want to do it all.. but not overdo it.. (not really expecting an answer, just talking out loud) can't wait to see what Wednesday brings.. all still keeping my mind busy for Thursday's Dr.'s appt. Thanks for checking in.. holler back at ya soon.. Deb

Head to Toe

Thought I'd take a moment to give you a head to toe update. How things are working or not with the body. Just because I haven't mentioned it in a while.
Headaches - more frequent, not severe but I use to never have headaches. Neck, when I put my head forward, like chin to chest I get a wierd tingling sensation all the way down my back to my feet. It doesn't hurt but its like a little shock. Sometimes I do it on purpose because it feels so weird. Still numb in the lower pelvic area front to back and not able to feel the urge to go to the bathroom.. somehow I still have control. Now it's either mind over matter but the numb area doesn't feel to be as large of an area as it use to. Feet still tingling numb. Not much pain anymore in my lower back.. unless I overdue it.. but I do get great releif with a little massage down my back. All in all I have my energy back (not to full force) I'm dealing very well with my body quirks and moving on. 2 more days before I meet with the Cancer Dr. I'm positive we will get a good report. :-) (but I ain't gonna lie, little scared) So I'll talk to you soon. Don't forget to vote on the mascot name to the right of the screen. Love ya'll. Deb

Eventful Weekend

Hope you all had a great weekend. Saturday we had a day of rest.. all day.. it was nice but at the end of the day you look back and feel like you wasted it away. It was probably long overdue. Sunday.. we joined a new church :-) Although I enjoyed our other church.. it was only me that was involved and it is more important that we worship as a family. Those of you who read from VUMC I know you will understand.. and know I love you guys.

I'm really worked up about my Cancer Dr. appt. this Thur. don't really know why.. I do that to myself all the time. Drive myself crazy. Chey is so ready for school to start. Me too.. I think. Not sure what I'll do with my time.. bet I come up with something.. :-) I'm back to bad sleeping patterns.. that's why I'm up writing so late.. so I'm gonna try to go to sleep. I catch back up with you guys tomorrow. Have a good Monday. Love Debbie
