Hello all. It is cold here today. I started my Neupogen shots today and I have to take 2 shots one time a day. The shots are to make my stem cells mass produce for my harvest that will happen monday. I am not thrilled about it all, but I have to do it. They said in a few days I would feel like I have the flu and my bones will ache. Lot's of fun. Mom and I had to venture out today to go have blood work done and on the way back to the hotel we stopped at TGI firdays and had a lil bite. They have the best iced tea and I have been craving a good glass of tea. I miss my Texas food. The ladies that draw my blood are so nice. The one held my hand and told me how blessed I am to get this opportunity and that she is glad to be a part of it.
So, in all it is a great day and I am happy bc Ang is coming in two days. She has never been to Chicago.
Nancy and Amy (Nancy had the transplant over a yr ago and Amy just finished) have been so good for my spirits. Nancy calls and emails to see how I am and has added me once again to their prayer list. Amy who is at home trying to bounce back still takes the time out of her crazy day to call and check on me. I think we are more concerned for the other than we are for ourselves. She is a fighter and I admire her strength. I couldn't have asked to have been blessed with two better friends.
My mom is getting a lot of support from friends back home and I thank you all. Her best friend Kathy who she rarely sees anymore bc of there crazy schedules, has been checking on mom a lot and I know that makes mom so happy. She misses you Kathy!!!! Thanks for always looking after her. I love you! I am glad all her crazy co-workers have been emailing her....you guy's always make her laugh and I know she is missing scrabble lunches. Maybe Cindy and Sandy will learn how to lose better by the time mom comes home.
Well I guess I will nap now. We will get new photos to post soon.
Love,
Devona
