update flush

Jan23 Went for my first port flush since finishing chemo it felt so different being in the same chair I got chemo things seemed so much brighter it was nice seeing the nurses again I will have a few more port flushes before it gets removed I had a choice if I wanted it removed right away or in 3 mo 6 mo or longer I chose 6 mo (which is a popular choice) after my next cancer scans because why take it out when may have to put back in it is surgical and it hurts.. and flushing is like 15 minutes once every 8 weeks. nurses said I looked great.


the port is under my skin and they just use a needle to poke into my skin and into the port it hurts like in the arm a burning sometimes hurts more than others then done they can put stuff in like medicine or draw blood for tests.

my next appointment is for my survivor kit I will write about that when it happens
the next project I am bullet journaling it helps to write moods how I am feeling diet and
more I will share some pages soon I think bullet journaling wold help everyone no matter age or sex. creating it monthly is as fun as writing in it. well again thank you hugs everyone, I am doing well feeling better all the time only issue is breathing and memory which will clear up with time.

christmas new year update 1-3-2020

OMG this Christmas was the most wonderful I have had in years and yes I have had many great ones with my husband but this Christmas was as wonderful as the magical Christmas mornings when I was A kid so full of happiness unlike being a kid I do not think it was about gifts and Santa that made it so wonderful yet the fact I am in remission really it is such a load off my back it was an unforgettable one. we opened small gifts (you can see some below in video memory for ourselves mostly but also a happy new year wish) anyway we gave some small gifts to one another that we loved, cooked together which was awesome I could also eat without feeling sick and we watched Christmas parades and movies it was just such a wonderful day. What else oh shhhh my hair is coming in white but I think I will keep it we will see it is very common after R chop chemo to have white hair it may not stay white but sometimes it does. I like it.

it is now just the beginning of the new year 2020  resolution I don't know I think just to continue listening and going to the doctors doing what I should to stay healthy and to make sure Jonathan gets healthier and pays more attention to his appointments and doctors.

Last an update on my health well it is the third of January and almost everything is getting better strength and just feeling better like I said earlier apatite is back, the only things still happening are breathing issues and my foggy brain - forgetfulness both may take months to get better. but I am so so grateful to be in remission and feeling better and for all of you who have supported me with good wishes and prayers thank you. I use a pedal bike as I sit on the couch and do arm exercises I also do regular housework vacuuming laundry and so on I hope by spring I will be able to work outside we will see. well, I just want to say thank you so much again Hugs all.


I got a few mugs with covers that I love becuase I am always spilling around my computer like with the dog jumping and moving the table just enough and my big blue buddy also non spill if I reach for it during the night or again if Barnaby knocks it and both if fall on the floor won't break and like not spill we also got thumb piano and felt crafting and lots of kitchen fun gadgets and as always looking for practical and fun. and another coloring book for me as I still love relaxing and coloring thanks hon.   it wasn't the gifts it is hard to buy for each other these days fun little things were so awesome this year loved them and just being cancer-free or in remission made it magical I guess becuase it was one of the best I had.
