Well I was hoping to be released today to my hotel room to rest after a 24 hour molization ?(chemo) last nigt. Today my electrolites were low, so the dr decided to keep me another night. I guess that is ok. I will rest in the hotel after tomorrow morning and start my shots at the hotel to boost my stem cell growth. I will do the shots till next friday. After that I will rest over the weekend and then come in monday for a port to be put in my neck to collect the stem cells. Not looking forward to that at all. They will cut a place close to my collar bone and stich around it to hold it in place for however long it takes to collect the amount they need.
I know is ready to get out of here because she forgot her makeup bag and is about to go nuts without it. Leave it to her to leave something. She said she would have rather left her meds...lol.
I miss my family and friends. Dad I am ok and I know we will get through this so don't worry. Remember you are saving my life with all you have done and God will get us through it all. I feel closer to Him than ever. Thank you for all you have done. Good night for now.
Miss you all!!!!

The strongest women I know
Ok, so I am here hooked up to an iv getting fluids and waiting to get a dose of chemo and looking at a beautiful quilt that a friend made for me. Before I left home to come here I was at a friends b-day bash and her step-mom Teri suprised me with a beautiful picture quilt. I know Ang supplied the pics and managed to hide the suprise from me (this being the first time ever) and Meredith aka Chrissy also had a hand in it. I have never had someone do something like that for me. It is beautiful and comforting and the best part is that I spread it over my legs so when the nurses come in with their big needles they stop for a moment to look at the pics and ask questions before they stick me!!!! Woo hoo thanks for the distraction Teri. Pics are down below.
I did not sleep well last night due to leg cramps and mom's snoring. Whoooo was she gettting it. LOL
I finally got to meet the beautiful Amy! She is a sweetheart. Amy is just finishing her transplant and will be going home tomorrow. I caught her just in time. She was able to give me so much info and hope to do as well as she has. She sailed right through the process and set the bar really high for us wimps. She is a hoot though and I am blessed to have met her. Her kiddos made her a really cute bunch of fake flowers (since we cannot have real ones), and since she is leaving tomorrow she brought them over to my room to brighten things up. AWWW. I am living next door to her till tomorrow. I feel a wonderful friendship blossoming. Keep her and her family in your prayers! I am adding a few pics. One of them is of Nancy (the dear small package of dynamite that had a transplant over a year ago) my sister Rona and myself, and the other is of Amy and myself that was taken last night when mom and I came to visit her. I am lucky to have them in my life and wish them the best and happiest days. Thank you both for taking the time in your hectic lives to share your wisdom and encouragement with me. God bless!!!!!
