Hi all,
Since I last posted I have made yet another trip to the ER this past Monday with same symptoms as last week only this time the outcome was just dehydration and I did not have to spend the night.
My chemo went great yesterdayand I have been feeling really peppy the last three days. I hope that this is my new norm. So only two more chemo treatments to go. Another blessing is that my white blood cell count is high so I did not have to return to have the Neulasta shot today. One less trip down to La Jolla is a blessing. I am getting good at giving myself the shots twice a day for the anti coagulant. I only gave myself one huge bruise the second day. Glad I do not have to ask Rick for help as he cannot even look at a needle. So I guess i am letting his secret out of the bag... he is not perfect.
I have been using my down time to crochet chemo caps which I donate to the resource center at the Moores Cancer center. I have made 6 so far and my friend Barbara brought me a big bag of yarn to make more.
My bible study group got together under the guidance of Sandi Humphery and made me the most beautiful lap quilt. They personalized it by writing a scripture in each square. Sandi lovingly and skillfully sewed it together. So not only does it cover me and keep me warm but it covers me in God's word as a reminder that I am not alone in this journey. I have God and all the dear friends and family who support me with their time, talents and prayers.
As always I am in His Awesome Grip,
Kathy

Sounds like you're keeping busy. Glad you got the quilt; I didn't see the final product but what I did see was moving. That Sandi is amazing! She sure knows how to motivate others and get things done.
