Past week...or so

I have been feeling so much better over the last few days, its almost like I'm a new person.  IV fluids rock!  I still need to be careful of overdoing it, which is very easy to do,  but I'm able to eat and get and keep fluids down so I'm a happy girl right now. 

Had a small boys only bday party (old school at our house) over the weekend for Pauls birthday which is coming up this week.  Could not have gone better.  Love the fact that my son has picked amazing friends with just as amazing parents who are so easy to be around.  I love my small group of Bridgewater friends. 

Little guy is scheduled for his endoscopy for the 28th at Childrens.  Hopefully my Dr. office will not schedule anything for me that day cause I'll have to miss it.  No way am I not going to be there for Pauls procedure.  My CT scans are on the 22nd but my appt with both oncologists and then the surgeon are not until the 31st.  I don't think its unreasonable that I should want to find out faster than a week and a half if my cancer has spread or not jeez.  I may just go nuts and send my oncologist an email or something....to me it just seems like a long time to have to wait.   I just want to get this surgery done for crying out loud, felt I was ready to have it on 12/30.

This week has been up and down as far as how I've been feeling but I get to stop taking my chemo meds next Tuesday so I'm soooo excited that there is a possibility I'll have more good days than yucky days. 

I was very proud of myself for eating a cheeseburger today...first one in months and then remembered an hour later that it is Friday during Lent..dohhhh.  I figure its a good sign at least that I remembered and felt a little bad about it but I'm sure I'll be forgiven for it. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend! 
As always thansks so much for all the well wishes and support, I'm greatful for it, every bit.
