Whew!!! I took some major punches and maybe even a knock-down or two; but with the support of family and friends, I think I finally landed a KO this round. I had a rough day yesterday and could not keep anything down. I felt miserable and my skin hurt...it was a strange sensation. A long-time friend of the family lives just a few minutes from my work and she graciously opened her home to me so that I could crash yesterday afternoon. I did not even put up a fight when my sister and brother wanted to come to St. Joe and drive me home. Several in the family helped with our kids and cleaned our house. So, I did not have any worries! I was able to rest! Today continued to get better and better and I feel so much better now.
I am ready for the family and friend filled weekend...Friday Night Football (cheering for another W), Saturday Bearcat Tailgate and Football, Saturday Night Nodaway County Relay for Life (I will proudly be wearing purple in the Survivor Lap), and Sunday Golf Outing! I am welling with tears as we prepare for Sunday. I am very overwhelmed with the outpouring of generosity! I have such a feeling of guilt; but I am SOOOOO EXCITED to see family and friends.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT!!! I AM PROUD TO BE THE ONE IN THE RING FIGHTING THIS FIGHT! VICTORY IS THE ONLY OPTION!

ReplyDeleteMary-
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better. Sounds like you have quite a weekend scheduled. I'm SOOOO sad that I can't be there with you. Sucks to live so far away (and have a crazy schedule). I hope my mom can help take good care of you... she did a great job taking care of me last week :)
Thinking of you always and wishing I was there!

ReplyDeleteMary, when I saw you today, for the first time since I heard about your diagnosis, I should have said what I was thinking. You are beautiful, I am so sorry this is happening to you but I know you will beat this. Instead of something ignorant about getting a tan on your head. Forgive me.
