November

Ahhhhh! It is November and I just had my 3 month follow up with the new drug and the cell load doesn't show up in my blood work

The Dr. did not want to say the C word  But said in another 3, which would be the 6 month follow up if still negative we could.

Frustration

I'm so frustrated right now.....8 wks treatment

I just got the follow up call from my request from phenegran and amiben and loratab


The nurse tells me so use a stool softener...

and then gives me my lab work

my whites are down again 2.3

and she goes on to tell me that if in case of re occurrence this drug allows for re treatment....ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!!!!!!!
WHAT !!!!!

And my loving daughter says,  All I know is that a positive attitude helps.......


So here's my positive attitude.

No Garden

With the potential availibilty of treatment for the second time round, I decided not to opt for a backyard garden this year.

So after 2 years after first treatment I am approved for treatment this year with a newer drug in the regimen.  I will try and keep updates.

sucks

well after working hours upon hours I arrived home want rest.  later in the night my son is not to be found, you'd think with his latest found troubles he'd  be a stellar person, on no   i found him in the laundry room again it in hand...... So he calls his x to pick up his son...he doesnt understand why.....

Hurt

I have felt this hurt before, many times before.  From my childhood to motherhood.  I wanted to hug my two girls today!

This time I thought it would be different, a week later and it's not.

I hurt, I hurt as only a mother can.  I can only remember tough love.

Emotions sucks

Well this morning I dropped of him and he had a lot to say that I needed it more than him, ,,,,, that I pushed him towards this and if this wasn't for him I told him not to call me.....so I drop him and will not willing give him a ride back.....  I talked to the company tonight and they say that it usually is day 3 before they cooperate...




and tonight is......

Tuesday was a day of joy and also surprise. 

On 1/28/2014  a child is born.

Also a winter storm, meteorologist  called for a dusting of snow.  Now in Alabama that's just an idle threat.

NOT THIS TIME.  The ground surface was below freezing when the snow started, which then turned to ice within 45 minutes.

Our first attempt to leave the hospital was a feeble attempt made in a vehicle we traveled only approximately 1.5 miles in an hour.  We turned around and made is safely back to the hospital and stayed the night. 

Leaving on 1/29/2014 in the afternoon we did make it to our destination.  However the forecast states that with temps dropping again likely more ice as the snow melts.   WOW!!!
