Monday was a GREAT day! I made it down to the Field Museum with the twins, my dad, and Keith. It was a trip I may not have gone on if it weren't for the knowledge that the next round is coming. I was having a good day and so I went down. I did find myself spending more time looking for the next bench to sit down on and less time in the exhibits. It was awesome to watch the twins experience their first time at a huge museum. They loved the Ancient Egypt Pyramid exhibit and the dinosaurs that interact with you. They also have the Children's area which is all hands on! We also ended up at the Family favorite restaurant, Bob Chinn's which was a nice treat knowing that food will not taste good after this Chemo again. I was exhausted but really happy! It was a great accomplishment during this time of fatigue.
I also had the chance to laugh in the evening with my Ohio angel as we reminisced about high school memories. We enjoyed connecting with friends on facebook and seeing how everyone is doing all these years later. The laughter that we shared was some of the best medicine I have had over these months! Her love and caring is priceless to me. We have over 30 years of memories that brought us so much fun last night as talked through the years! The best medicine for me is the contact I have with all those I love! That is why the family Christmas on the farm was one that strengthened me even when I was in so much pain! Love really cannot be felt better than being with people and feeling it come from everyone.
I am DREADING Thursday but I am also ready for Thursday. I am using these days before to do what I want to do and what I can do. I am also trying to get my strength up so I might be able to get through the weekend better than the first time. Thank you to all who pray for me! It is a comfort to me and gives me peace during the times that are hard.
I am wishing you all a very Happy New Year! I am looking forward to 2011 being my year of the CURE!
