ahhhh. Today is so beautiful. Sunshine is like medicene to the soul. Definitely feel good today. Slept late, visited with friends, had a great day of baseball, AND I feel like painting.
Haynesville had their baseball jamboree today. Boys were hitting and making plays..looking good. Of course, proud of Kirk as usual.
I had 2 drs. appointments this week. Thursday afternoon I met w/ the rheumo. Bloodwork was good (except for Thyroid levels) and am scheduled to have it checked again next week. She answered alot of questions and basically it was a good appt. She increased my cellcept to 4/day (the goal is 6/day) so we'll see how that makes me feel. So far, so good. The cellcept and chemo are given for the lungs and the only way to know if it's helping is to check my DLCO which will be every 3 months. My other appt. on Friday morning was w/ the endocrinologist. They increased my dosage (synth 150 now) and said to come back in 3 months. So, thankful for that too. For the next couple of weeks I'm appointment free. Excited about that. Still need to see an ENT to check out my neck and I"m thinking of seeing a Physical Therapist to try to start working mainly on my hands to prevent any permanent damage. They said as soon as I'm ready to start chemo to let them know. I am so thankful there is no hurry and that all of the drs. are advising the same treatment. I'm leaning towards starting either Spring Break or Easter but I appreciate your prayers so much. Still need a little more knowledge and peace that this is the right course, but I believe it will come.
After my appt. on Friday I was able to go to a few stores by myself. While my mom and sister are troopers and WILL go to Hobby Lobby or Michaels I'm quite sure it's close to punishment LOL. I had a good day and am in a more creative mood.
This week I"m working on: painting for our St.Jude fundraiser at school. I have a large 1st hour class this year and WE WILL win this year. I've challenged each student to help me, help them raise $25 each. That will be over $500 and I know we can do that! They also have some great creative ways we plan to help the children of Haiti.
Have a few friends who are having (or have had) babies. Angela, LeeAnn, LaurieBeth, Tammi, you're next on the list.
Painting bookmarks and notecards.
Illustrating some 2010 WORDS.
Trying to finish my pinestraw basket and a folkart painting I started at workshops at our local museum.
fun, fun.
