Morning, Fabbies... up and at 'em!

Getting things sorted here for Peanut's departure (read, walk all over house and find stuff that doesn't belong!)... will be leaving in a bit.

Hope everyone is well and well off to a fabulous AF Wednesday! One thing is for sure...

Hi all, been a while....

I had no internet, cable, or home phone. I am in the process of having all bills put in my name finally. :H They were in my ex's.

I am doing well. My chemo #5 of 6 yesterday was postponed until next week. My arm & veins (the only one they can use for bloodwork, chemo etc) is exhausted and I have not been feeling too hot lately. So my oncologist gave me a week off. :H Thank you Dr. LOL.

Other than that everything is good. Emotionally happy, sober, and been doing so much volunteering work at Little AFM's school lately again. Need to find some balance while going through the rest of chemo. It gets to you; but for some reason I think I am not ill, and am super woman! hahaha

I haven't had a chance to see what is going on with the rest of you. I hope you are all well. For now, I must get Little AFM ready for school and run some errands.

Lots of love and hugs to all! xoxo

Good afternoon, all!
Hope you are all enjoying your day--AF, of course. Little cooler today after the spring like day we had yesterday! But no complaints. Finally got to go to the gym last night and did some treadmill and bike. Little sore today, which is good. Going back later on and hopefully 3-5 times a week. Felt good to just exercise after five weeks of doing nothing. Went to AA at noon and it as a really good meeting.

AFM, glad you checked in - I was thinking about you yesterday
Didn't you have some sort of port implanted for permanent venous access? Please excuse my nosiness.....I don't know, maybe things are done differently in Canada. Around these part anyone scheduled for chemo has one or another type of port implanted ahead of time to avoid all that wear & tear on the arms. Sorry that has been a problem for you.

Hi Det, sid & TDN! Glad everyone is A-OK today

Resting up tonight for another round of babysitting tomorrow night (not an all day event like yesterday) thank goodness.

No, I didn't get the PICC line put in. :upset: They figured I could manage with only having 6 aggressive chemo's instead of the typical 8. My veins feel like tendons. But, adding the blood work each time, makes a lot of stress on the veins and arm. I do recommend to anyone else who may have to go through this to have one done. It is murderous for me when they cannot find a vein, and I end up being poked a few times until they get it. (for chemo that is). You aren't being nosy. I like to share my experience with everyone who is willing to listen. I want people to know that even having had cancer and going through treatment, can be not all that bad of an experience. Not fun, but attitude is everything.

Missed you all. :l

Yikes AFM :l
I better make sure I never get seriously ill... my needle phobia may have me end up like Liberace. Hang in there... you certainly HAVE the TUDE! You are really inspiring and you'll knock this cancer on the head, there's no doubt about it.

Oh.. and hello and good night, everyone
