My Dear Friends,
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Ours was eventful. My baby sister is getting married, as her boyfriend proposed on Christmas Eve in front of the family. She has asked me to be matron of honor. She's possibly looking at May 2007 so I'm crossing my fingers.
The other Christmas news is that we bought the kids each a hamster. I made Mark go to Meijer and hold one for a while to see if he was allergic before the purchase. That worked out OK so the sales clerk put the hamsters in a cardboard box. Mark bought some last minute stocking stuffers and by the time he got to the register, the hamsters had already begun to chew through the box! When he got to the car, Mark put them in an aquarium with a bag of rock salt on top for containment. The kids love their new critters.
Had treatment yesterday. The old gentleman who's a week ahead of me has started to lose his hair. Bummer. I felt tired today but the nausea wasn't too bad. Been depressed lately about the cancer and my job situation. Will join a support group at Oakwood in January. That should do me some good in the cancer area anyway.
I have six more radiations to go on the hip at Beaumont. I'm still worried about my right shoulder which has been hurting. Have to keep an eye on that.
Went out with the girls (my neighbors) to see a chick flick a couple days ago. Saw "The Family Stone". It was funny but took a turn for the worse when the family matriarch was dying of a breast cancer recurrence! Major bummer! False advertising as a comedy if you ask me. Just thought I'd warn others not to see it.
Heard from an old friend in e-mail today. That lifted my spirits.
Still have to write about the history of my case but don't have it in me today.
Please keep me in your prayers.
Love,
Jeanette
