I can't believe,,,,,,,,,

it has been sooo long since I posted last. It's been very busy around here. The trip to Myrtle Beach was awesome, weather was a little chilly, but we had a great time. I took more movies then I did pictures but I will post a few.

Hannah and Jacob have been sick. Jacob was in the hospital for a few days, but is better now and back to school and playing t-ball. It was great to take care of Matthew some, he is so special.

The shortness of breath and chest pain is still around, Dr Young is sending me to a lung Dr. not sure what he can do, but we will see. I saw Dr Young this week, the Lymph count is back up to 7.4, doubled again. They should be 2.9, that's a normal high. Platelets have gone up to a 74, (from 64), normal low is 130, but I have very little bruising. So we are back to talking about chemo. He wants to see me after I see the lung Dr., in two months. We don't want to go into chemo with the chest pain and shortness of breath. So it looks like this summer will be chemo. That means no garden either, can't do it all. I don't look forward to it,,,,it always brings you soooo down,,,,,,,and I worry about getting the "dreaded shingles" again. He hasn't said what kind a chemo yet, so don't know if I will loose my hair or not,,,,,,I'm ready to cut my hair for summmer anyway, bald sounds good right now. (not) ha

hmmmmmm

< I'm sitting here eating leftover O'Charley's chicken strips,,,hmmmmm,,,from last night. Went out to eat with Tiffany and Jonathan to spend some time before we left on our trip, and BOY was it good, hmmmmm, and it's still good this am. Is this blog depressing?

One of my son's said it was,,,,,,I don't mean for it to be,,,,just so many, always want an update, and I thought this was a good way to update everyone, sorry, about that, I will try to keep it on a lighter note from now on!

The pain in the chest is still there, and so is the shortness of breath, the red blood cells that carry the oxygen is low (but a normal low) so maybe that's the reason. I go back to the cancer Dr. the 24th of this month, so we'll see how we are doing.

I am leaving tonight (one reason I decided to post) for Myrtle Beach with Jeremy and Jenni and Hannah, for spring break. Looking forward to it, all though it is going to be cool for the beach, a couple of days will be warm enough to let Hannah play in the sand and fly her kite. (she must have seen this in a movie, for when she found out she was going to the beach, she wanted a kite ha) It will be great to experience the beach with Hannah,,,,she is 2 1/2 and says anything she wants and is so witty!! (she, no doubt, gets this from Ronnie) The weather is supposed to be really cool here, I'm glad I'm missing it! The condo we are staying at is new, so we will be the first to stay in our rooms, that sounds CLEAN!!!

The Red Hatters play last Sunday was good, The Art of Murder. I never was good at "who did it" murder mystery's. I guessed one but I didn't know there was going to be two murders, so I really didn't do well.
